AI Research Vault for Obsidian: Prompt, Model Run and Paper Tracking Template

Stop losing track of which prompt, which model and which paper led to which result. AI Research Vault is an Obsidian vault that keeps your prompt versions, model runs, literature notes and experiments connected, with a dashboard that answers the questions you actually ask.

What you get

• A ready to open Obsidian vault with seven numbered folders, graph colors by note type, bookmarks and the Templates and Daily notes settings already set.
• 5 templates: Prompt Version, Model Run Log, Literature Note, Experiment Record, Daily Research Log.
• A Dashboard note with 9 Dataview blocks: recent prompts, prompts by status, model performance (average latency, first token time, context used), five slowest runs, runs above 80 percent of the context window, pass, partial and fail by model, reading queue, open experiments, and deep work hours for the last seven days.
• A Canvas workflow map from research question to decision, with a loop back to a new prompt version.
• Sample notes so the dashboard has data on day one. Every sample is flagged and listed so you can delete it in one pass.
• Quick Start Guide (PDF) with setup steps and the real template text.

Who it is for

AI engineers who iterate on prompts, researchers who read papers and run comparisons, and developers who want to know which model was slow, which run filled the context window, and which prompt version actually won.

What each model run records

Model, provider, linked prompt, temperature, input tokens, output tokens, context window, first token time, latency, cost and outcome. Context window used is calculated inside the note.

Requirements

• Obsidian (free), desktop recommended.
• The free Dataview community plugin. You install it in two clicks from Community plugins. The settings are already in the vault.

What it is not

It does not call any model, import logs automatically or sync for you. You paste numbers in. Sample notes use made up numbers and generic model names, so nothing in the vault is a benchmark. The Dataview plugin and Obsidian are separate free tools made by other developers. The dashboard queries follow the documented Dataview syntax and the files were checked by script, but they were not run inside Obsidian before release, so tell us within 14 days if anything does not load.

Format

One ZIP: the vault folder (plain Markdown, JSON and Canvas files) and a PDF guide.
