# YAML Frontmatter Management

Standardize YAML frontmatter properties across all vault content.

## When to Use This Skill

Activate when you need to:
- Add or update frontmatter in markdown files
- Ensure consistent property naming and formatting
- Format tags, dates, or other property values
- Validate frontmatter structure

> **Note**: This skill manages frontmatter **PROPERTIES** (keys, values, types, formatting).
> For document **STRUCTURE** (heading hierarchy, section order, frontmatter position), use `obsidian-markdown-structure` skill.

## Core Frontmatter Rules

### 1. Single YAML Block at Top

**Structure**:
```yaml
---
property: value
---

## First Section Header
```

**Critical Rules**:
- One YAML block at top of file
- Blank line after closing `---`
- No content before first heading (after frontmatter)

### 2. Standard Property Names

**Use lowercase, consistent keys**:
```yaml
✅ CORRECT:
title: Document Title
created: 2025-10-31
tags:
  - tag1
source: https://example.com
author: Author Name

❌ INCORRECT:
Title: Document Title (capitalized)
date: 2025-10-31 (use "created" not "date")
tag: tag1 (use "tags" plural)
```

**No Duplicate Properties**:
- Use `created` (not both `date` and `created`)
- Use `tags` (not both `tag` and `tags`)

### 3. Tag Formatting

**CRITICAL: Plain text in YAML, NO hashtags**:
```yaml
✅ CORRECT:
tags:
  - journal
  - daily
  - reflection

❌ INCORRECT:
tags:
  - #journal
  - #daily
```

**Always use list format with dashes**:
```yaml
✅ CORRECT (list format):
tags:
  - tag1
  - tag2

❌ INCORRECT (inline):
tags: [tag1, tag2]
```

### 4. Date Format

**Use YYYY-MM-DD consistently**:
```yaml
✅ CORRECT:
created: 2025-10-31
updated: 2025-11-01

❌ INCORRECT:
created: 10/31/2025
created: 2025-10-31T10:30:00
```

### 5. Link Lists

**Wrap wiki links in quotes**:
```yaml
✅ CORRECT:
sources:
  - "[[Journal/2025-10-31]]"
  - "[[Articles/2025-10-31 Title]]"

links:
  - "[[Roundup/2025-10-31]]"

attendees:
  - "[[People/John]]"
  - Jane

❌ INCORRECT:
sources:
  - [[Journal/2025-10-31]] (missing quotes)
```

### 6. Quote Values with Special Characters

**Quote values containing**: `:` `#` `"` or numeric-looking strings

**Single quote wrapping (easiest for values with `"`)**:
```yaml
✅ CORRECT:
title: 'He said, "Hello."'
note: 'It\'s called "PKM".'
```

**Double quote wrapping with escaping**:
```yaml
✅ CORRECT:
title: "He said, \"Hello.\""
source: "https://example.com"
version: "2.0"
```

**Literal double-quote character**:
```yaml
✅ CORRECT:
quote_char: '"'
```

**Mixed quotes preference**: Use double quotes, escape only `"` (single quotes don't need escaping):
```yaml
✅ CORRECT:
note: "It's called \"PKM\"."

❌ INCORRECT:
title: AI Era: Thriving Framework (unquoted colon)
version: 2.0 (parsed as number, not string)
```

**Multiline values (no escaping needed)**:
```yaml
✅ CORRECT:
description: |
  He said, "Hello."
  New line preserved.
```

## Standard Property Set

### Core Properties (All Content)
```yaml
---
title: Document Title
created: YYYY-MM-DD
tags:
  - category
  - type
---
```

### Content with Sources
```yaml
---
title: Article Title
created: YYYY-MM-DD
source: https://url or file path
author: Author Name
tags:
  - clipping
  - topic
---
```

### Relational Content
```yaml
---
title: Document Title
created: YYYY-MM-DD
tags:
  - category
sources:
  - "[[Source File 1]]"
  - "[[Source File 2]]"
links:
  - "[[Related Topic]]"
---
```

### Events/Meetings
```yaml
---
title: Meeting Name
created: YYYY-MM-DD
event_date: YYYY-MM-DD
attendees:
  - "[[Person 1]]"
  - Person 2
sources:
  - "[[Journal/YYYY-MM-DD#Section]]"
tags:
  - meeting
  - event
---
```
