# Tips

> Get the most out of your Augent + Obsidian workflow

## Start with local graph

Don't stare at the full global graph trying to make sense of hundreds of nodes. Open a file you know well, right-click, and choose **Open local graph**. Set depth to 2 to see second-degree connections. This is far more useful for actual navigation.

## The graph grows organically

Every `take_notes` call adds a new transcription to your memory vault, tags it, and links it to related content. You do not need to maintain the graph manually. Just keep using Augent.

## Run `rebuild_graph` after bulk imports

If you transcribe a batch of files or change tags manually, run `rebuild_graph` to recompute all `[[wikilinks]]` and regenerate MOC files. It is idempotent and fast.

## Node size reflects connections

Files with more links appear larger in the graph. MOC files and heavily-tagged transcriptions naturally become the biggest nodes, making them easy to spot as topic hubs.

## Multi-word tags

Tags with spaces (like "Machine Learning") are automatically hyphenated to `Machine-Learning` in frontmatter. Obsidian splits bare multi-word tags into separate tags, so hyphenation keeps them as a single node in graph view.

## Where your files live

* **Notes** (from `take_notes`) save to `~/Desktop` by default. The augent-obsidian hard-linker moves them into your vault automatically.
* **Transcriptions** live in `~/.augent/memory/transcriptions/` and power the graph view.
* **Visual frames** (from `visual`) are saved directly into your vault's `External Files/visual/` folder.

Everything works from your main vault. Notes, transcriptions, and visual context all connect through wikilinks and tags.
