What you'll learn

Research Relevance Is Dynamic

Why related-work discovery must adapt as the project direction changes.

Using Notes as Project Context

How Obsidian notes and wikilinks can provide structured context for AI-assisted research.

Building an Agent Skill Workflow

How Python and the Obsidian CLI can be combined into a reusable research helper.

Context-Aware Literature Discovery

Techniques for gathering related work based on evolving project context rather than fixed keywords.

Summarizing Project Drift

How the same process can surface what has changed in the project over time.

Why this topic matters

Researchers increasingly use AI tools, but most workflows still rely on static prompts and one-off searches. This session shows how personal knowledge systems can become active research infrastructure, enabling agents to reason from evolving project context. The result is a more adaptive, durable workflow for literature discovery, synthesis, and research direction-setting.
