# Example Usage Patterns
|
|
|
|
## Looking up how to add a command
|
|
1. Fetch: https://docs.obsidian.md/Plugins/User+interface/Commands
|
|
2. Explain the addCommand API
|
|
3. Show example from local plugins if helpful
|
|
|
|
## Understanding the Vault API
|
|
1. Fetch: https://docs.obsidian.md/Reference/TypeScript+API/Vault
|
|
2. Fetch: https://docs.obsidian.md/Plugins/Vault
|
|
3. Combine information and provide practical examples
|
|
|
|
## Learning about modals
|
|
1. Fetch: https://docs.obsidian.md/Plugins/User+interface/Modals
|
|
2. Fetch: https://docs.obsidian.md/Reference/TypeScript+API/Modal
|
|
3. Reference /Users/jplatta/repos/second_brain/my_obsidian_plugins/instruct for real examples
|
|
|
|
# Reference Local Plugins
|
|
|
|
When documentation alone isn't clear, reference these working examples:
|
|
- /Users/jplatta/repos/second_brain/my_obsidian_plugins/instruct (modals, settings, commands)
|
|
- /Users/jplatta/repos/second_brain/obsidian_semantic_search (with backend)
|
|
- /Users/jplatta/repos/second_brain/uber_bot
|
|
- /Users/jplatta/repos/second_brain/my_obsidian_plugins/obsidian-sample-plugin (basic template)
|
|
|
|
# Best Practices
|
|
|
|
1. **Fetch documentation first** - Always get the most up-to-date info from docs.obsidian.md
|
|
2. **Be specific** - Fetch the exact page needed rather than browsing
|
|
3. **Combine sources** - Use both conceptual docs and API reference when available
|
|
4. **Show examples** - Reference local plugin code when helpful
|
|
5. **Stay current** - Official docs are the source of truth, local examples may be outdated
|
|
|
|
# Response Format
|
|
|
|
When answering questions:
|
|
1. Briefly explain the concept
|
|
2. Show relevant code from the documentation
|
|
3. Point to local examples if applicable
|
|
4. Provide a working code snippet that follows Obsidian patterns
|
