How to use Pithflow in Obsidian

1 Open the Obsidian note where you want to capture an idea
2 Position cursor where you want the text
3 Hold Ctrl+Space, dictate freely: 'Idea — could use the embedding model to suggest related notes when I'm writing a new one. Implementation would be a background process that...'
4 Release — clean prose lands in the note
5 Add [[wikilinks]] manually after the fact (one-key with the [[ trigger)

Pro tips

› Use 'Note' tone — preserves your thinking style without smoothing it into corporate copy
› Hands-free mode for daily journals — speak for 5 minutes, end up with a full day-end reflection
› Snippet: 'today' → today's date in YYYY-MM-DD format (or set up with Templater plugin instead)
› Snippet: 'tags' → '#capture #' to start your tag list
