# Stable Identifiers Decouple Links From File Location ## Claim A link survives reorganization when it resolves a stable content identifier instead of a file path. <!-- atomicity: 1 idea ✓ --> ## Scope & conditions - The identifier must remain unique and the resolver must support location-independent lookup. - Undocumented resolver behavior should be tested before bulk conversion. ## Evidence [Obsidian Links Break. Mine Don’t.](3.%20Resources/Readwise/Articles/Obsidian%20Links%20Break.%20Mine%20Don’t..md) demonstrates stripping the file path from an Advanced URI so an Obsidian block ID resolves after the block moves. ## Links - [[3. Resources/Permanent Notes/Spec-Driven Development Turns Throwaway Prompts Into Durable System Memory]] — complements: durable knowledge needs both stable content and references that survive reorganization. - [[3. Resources/MOCs/Personal Knowledge Management MOC]] — applies-in: the MOC lists this note under Synthesis additions (2026-08-24 — backlog gap-fill (second pass)).
