Instruments for thinking.
Prompts, Obsidian vaults, small scripts, and Claude Skills I've built for my own theological reading. Free, versioned on GitHub, take what's useful.
Methods
- MethodDemo
Ontological Type System
A classical realist type system for organizing an Obsidian vault. Six root types (event, idea, journal, person, place, work) with templated subtypes, designed for atomic notes representing real-world entities and dense semantic linking.
For building a vault that helps you think and remember rather than just store text.
- MethodDemo
Capturing Scripture
A method for catching Bible references in real time during preaching, layering each verse with Strong's lexemes, so your Obsidian vault's graph grows by both reference and root word.
For keeping the verses you hear under preaching, with original-language depth and a graph that remembers.
Skills

Sermon Guides for Small Groups
Two Claude skills that turn a sermon transcript into a printed small group guide. The first writes the guide; the second renders it as a 2-page branded PDF for your congregation.
For small group leaders facilitating discussion in homes during the week.

OTS Stub Skill
A Claude skill that produces Obsidian vault stubs conforming to the Ontological Type System.
For generating OTS stubs with Claude. Best for public entities (people, works, places, ideas, events) where fields can be verified against sources.
