Laya Gatecase study / 01
a private Obsidian add-on

Your notes,
made actionable.

Laya Gate reads the Markdown notes in your Obsidian vault. It finds the tasks, deadlines, handoffs, risks, and approval blockers that need attention, then writes a brief you can review inside Obsidian.

READ-ONLYIt does not act for you. It never changes your notes. Each item tells you which note it came from and why it was included.

the problem

Your notes already contain the work.

Use it when you open Obsidian and need to see what is due, what is blocked, and who needs to act next.

Find the work.
Keep the proof.

Laya Gate finds the items that need a decision, then keeps the note and line that explain why.

It does not rewrite notes, send messages, publish posts, or execute proposals. You stay in control of what happens next.

the system

Find it first.
Ask Laya second.

Rules first. The Laya check is optional and stays small. The result shows the source note and line, so you can check the work instead of trusting a score.

    Your notes stay privateThe sidecar runs on your machine, reads only an approved folder, and uses synthetic data for the public demo.
the proof

Every result shows its source.

The generated brief puts each task, deadline, handoff, risk, or approval item next to the note it came from, the exact line, and the reason it matters.

One scan.
Twelve clear sources.

The disposable case vault produced a real local scan with 12 notes. It found 1 item for immediate attention, 8 items to review, and 3 low-signal notes. Every item pointed back to a note and line.

  • Every item points to its note.
  • The exact line explains the match.
  • It shows whether a rule or Laya found it.
  • Different notes that disagree are flagged for review.

the capture

The command is real.
The boundary is clear.

The demo uses a disposable synthetic vault and an isolated Obsidian profile. It does not show private notes from my ~/Wiki vault.

It stops where your judgment starts.

This is a private, local first version, not a hosted service. I can help set up the rules, tune the daily brief, and calibrate it against a real Obsidian vault.
