Everything it does¶

The whole inventory, ranked by how you reach each capability — not by when it shipped. The practice loops the README opens with are on this list too; they lead because they ask something of you, not because they are the only things here. Generated from the plugin's own capability registry, so it cannot drift from the product.

Right where you're working¶

A control on screen where you already are — the ribbon menu, a button in the view, or the note's right-click menu.

Open workflow — draw a workflow on a Canvas and the wizard walks it to build a note. docs →
Run the current canvas as a flow — run the open canvas as a flow — create notes, edit the open one, or react to an event. docs →
Open canvas — open and edit the canvas that drives a flow. docs →
Capture a thought — one keystroke from a thought to your thinking space. docs →
Home — the front door — what to do next on your knowledge, at a glance, read-only and offline. docs →
Build a map of content — gather notes by tag or folder into a map of content, refreshed safely. docs →
Derive project outline — turn a folder of notes into a book, course, or article outline from the graph. docs →
Explore — narrow your vault by clicking; the query is what that produces. docs →
Explore the active note in the graph — your vault as a graph of regions, bridges and time — Explore's answers, lit in place. docs →
Trace reasoning paths from the active note — read the argument chains leaving a note (supports → expands → example). docs →
Health — which notes need you, each handed to This note on what it is missing. docs →
Generate weekly review — a weekly review note: created, orphaned, forgotten, and unreviewed ideas. docs →
This note — the note you are reading, from the right sidebar — where it stands, what surrounds it, how it got here. docs →
Next step — the note's next step — add a source, connect, mark an example or move it on — finished in place, with an undo. docs →
Evolution timeline — the conceptual history of one idea — states, claims, moves, and verdicts. docs →
Show evidence map — a grounded synthesis of a note from your own graph (experimental). docs →
Resurface — older related notes worth revisiting, plus a daily spark of forgotten ideas. docs →
Split note into atomic notes — split a multi-topic note into linked atomic notes, leaving a hub. docs →
Cultivate — a guided thinking session that makes one idea evolve, one real move at a time. docs →
Work on your own question — start from your own question, inspect bounded context, and write a provisional response. docs →
Think — a place to think before it has to be knowledge — nothing here is a note. docs →
Think before you look — in Explore, write what you currently think before it answers. docs →
What could these two have in common? — two of your notes with nothing in common, one question, no answer. docs →
Make a move… — make a cognitive move on the note you are reading — challenge, reframe, branch. docs →
Think about this note — open a thread about a note without writing to it. docs →
Read from here — right-click a note and read a path across your notes, the way you read a book — no MOC, nothing written. docs →
Write in the margin — write in the margin of what you read with a pen (or a mouse) — kept beside its words as a thought and its drawing, the book never written. docs →
Alongside — your own notes beside the page you are reading, through six lenses, each saying why it is there — nothing written. docs →
Contradict — select a passage and ask which of your notes stand against it — answered by your vault, no AI; a tension is kept only if you accept it. docs →
Connect — select a passage and ask which of your ideas it belongs with — accept one and the idea cites the passage, undoable. docs →
Moves by your AI provider — select a passage and ask your AI provider why, what it assumes, what it claims, or what follows — one short answer per click, kept only if you accept it. docs →
Make it a claim — select a passage and say in one sentence what you would defend — a new claim note, sourced to its page, ready for every claim reader. docs →
Link to an idea — select a passage and name the idea it belongs to — the idea gains the passage as a source, undoable; no AI. docs →
Look up — select a word and look it up in your own StarDict dictionaries — read on the device, no network; a bilingual one gives its translation. docs →
Translate — select a passage and translate it — through your AI provider on a click, or the system's own Translate on iPad. docs →
Overview — every page of a book or a paper as a card, your marks on them — one tap on the Reader's bar, from any view; a card becomes its page. docs →
Snapshot — drag around a figure or a table on a printed page, or click a picture in a book — keep it as a note, a fleeting note or part of a note you have, with its page; nothing written until you choose. docs →
Listen — the book read aloud in your device's own voices — from here, the chapter or a selection — the paragraph followed on the page, and Mark keeps the sentence you hear; nothing leaves the device. docs →
Cite — cite a passage, a highlight or a whole book — Markdown with a link back, inline, a Pandoc key, BibTeX or CSL JSON — from its book's note; what is missing is left out and named, and Copy is all it does. docs →
Share a copy of a PDF with your notes — hand a PDF you marked back as a new PDF beside it, your highlights in their colours and your notes as their comments, readable in Acrobat, Preview or a browser; the original is only read, and Undo sends the copy to the trash. docs →
What survived? — at the end of a chapter you marked, the book turns onto a blank leaf — your marks, what they touched, one question; never a summary. Turned off on the leaf. docs →
Recall this chapter — put the chapter and your marks away, write what it argued from memory, then see what you marked — nothing compared or scored; keep your words as a note that cites the book. docs →
Library — your PDFs, EPUBs and saved reading paths on one shelf — read them in the Reader, highlight, and crystallize what you mark into notes that cite the page. docs →
Move to shelf… — shelves of your own in the Library — make one, drag a book onto it (or long-press on an iPad), filter by it; one write per change, with an Undo. docs →
Archive — a filing cabinet at the end of the stacks — drag a book onto it, or Archive from its menu, and it moves to its own folder, off the shelves and the search, until you open a drawer and return it. docs →
A few things you marked — what you marked in the Reader comes back a few at a time — still think so, changed your mind, or let it go. docs →
Say what this note claims — say in one sentence what a note claims. docs →
Something you expected is ready to be looked at — a claim with an expected observation and a date you expect to know by. docs →
Change note state — move a note through its lifecycle state (fleeting → … → evergreen). docs →
Remove a relation — delete a typed relation from the active note, after a confirmation. docs →
Script workbench — try a script before it touches anything, and read every run in a log. docs →
Community — one view, four rooms — learn ZettelFlow, find a system, give one back and look after what you installed. docs →
Browse systems — install a complete knowledge system from the community, in one click — Community's Systems room. docs →
Export current canvas as .zftemplate — bundle a canvas and its steps into one portable .zftemplate file. docs →
Import .zftemplate — install a .zftemplate bundle into your vault. docs →
Open manage templates — manage the systems and templates you have installed — Community's Installed room. docs →
Base dashboards — compose chart panels over an Obsidian Base — a local Grafana for your vault. docs →

On a ZettelFlow surface¶

Open the surface, or one of its modes.

Show knowledge map — the connected regions and named neighbourhoods of your graph. docs →
Show concept navigation — walk your vault by typed relation, note to note, like a wiki you wrote. docs →
Show knowledge dashboard — the knowledge read-out for scripts; its panels became Tend and Home. docs →
Practice — what you have developed lately and how you answered proposals — facts, never a grade. docs →
Show open questions — every unanswered question in your vault, made first-class. docs →

It comes to you¶

A line on Home that arrives without being looked for.

What do you say about this now? — a claim you wrote comes back, blind, to be re-judged after a while. docs →

In settings¶

Nothing is configured-only — everything above has a door you reach it by.

Only in the command palette¶

Nothing lives only in the palette. Every capability has a door of rank 1–3 you can find without already knowing its name — that is the rule (see capability doors).
