Organize Note

Analyze any note with AI to get classification, tag suggestions, link suggestions, and folder recommendations — all in an interactive modal where you review and edit before applying.


How to Use

  1. Open a note in the editor
  2. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl/Cmd + P)
  3. Run Organize Current Note

This command only appears when a note is actively open in the editor.


What the AI Does

The AI analyzes your note content and:

  1. Classifies the note into a category (technology, personal, work, etc.)
  2. Suggests tags — strongly-matching existing tags are preferred (confidence ≥ 0.7), and new tags are created when no strong match exists. New tags never overlap with existing ones.
  3. Proposes links — AI selects related notes from your vault. Every link is validated to ensure the target note actually exists.
  4. Suggests a folder — maps the note's category to an appropriate folder from your vault's structure.

The Result Modal

Results appear in an interactive modal. Nothing changes until you click Apply All.

Tag Chips

Each suggested tag appears as a chip:

  • Existing tags — tags that already exist in your vault
  • New tags — tags the AI is suggesting for the first time (highlighted)
  • Score — confidence score for each tag suggestion
  • Click × to remove a tag, to restore it
  • Use the Add tag input to add your own tags manually

Link Chips

Suggested links to related notes in your vault:

  • Click × to remove a link, to restore it
  • Use the Add link input to add your own links

Actions

Button What it does
Apply All Apply all enabled tags and links to the note
Re-organize Re-run AI analysis (bypasses cache, gets fresh results)
Close Close without applying any changes

Token & Cost

The bottom of the modal shows how many tokens were used and the estimated cost.


Result Caching

When you organize a note, the result is cached in memory (session-scoped). If you close the modal and organize the same note again:

  • Content unchanged → cached result is returned instantly (no AI call, no cost)
  • Content changed → AI is called again automatically

The cache uses a content hash (SHA-256) to detect changes. It resets when:

  • You restart Obsidian (or reload the plugin)
  • You run a full vault maintenance Re-scan

Re-organize Button

If you want fresh AI results regardless of the cache, click Re-organize in the modal. This bypasses the cache and calls the AI again.


Undo

After clicking Apply All, a toast notification appears with an Undo button (visible for 10 seconds). Click it to revert all changes immediately.

You can also undo from the Activity Log at any time.
