Overview

You don't have to build your document's skeleton by hand. Obsitex comes with ready-made structures, and an assistant that scaffolds them for you.

The three structures

Structure Based on Good for
Professional Thesis scrbook — chapters, front/main/back matter, roman then arabic page numbers a master's thesis
Simple Thesis article — cover page and lists of figures/tables shorter theses, seminar papers
Academic Paper article — lean, no cover or table of contents a journal-style paper

The obsitex-init skill

Rather than assembling folders and files yourself, the obsitex-init skill — an AI assistant skill for Claude Code — scaffolds the whole project folder for you:

You answer a couple of questions — document type, and how you want to order files — and get a ready-to-convert vault.

After scaffolding

Open the project folder in Obsidian, write your content under the # headings, and convert as usual (Your first document). The order is already set; you can adjust it any time with Flexplorer or number prefixes (Document order).
