Annotation_Blank (miniverse)

Annotation_Blank, internally named miniverse, is a minimal Obsidian vault for converting academic PDFs into structured Annotation notes using AI. It strips down the author’s full Program_verse workflow to a single pipeline: drop a PDF into the vault, run three commands from an ALT+L menu inside Obsidian, and get a fully formed Annotation note with 20 atomic Zettelkasten cards.

The three steps generate a Markdown slide outline from the PDF, generate 20 atomic cards from that outline, and import both into an Author-Year Annotation note under the vault’s ACT folder structure. It depends on the claude_lit_workflow repository as its AI backend, on the QuickAdd and Templater Obsidian plugins for the menu, and on at least one LLM API key (Gemini, OpenAI, or Anthropic). It is one piece of the author’s broader CSC PKM system, which also includes ACT_Base for note templates and twcc-ollama-proxy for local inference.
