"An important aspect of learning about strategies is the conditional knowledge of when and why to use them appropriately" (Krathwohl et al.)
I wanted to compile a similar list of strategies myself, however I couldn't quite understand when to apply them. After some research, my view is that to understand when to apply these general thinking/problem-solving strategies, one needs to know the goal of the task and the cognitive processes involved i.e. it requires conditional knowledge which is part of metacognition.
Wonderful list though!

Very interesting! I'm glad to see more development in the field of Personal Knowledge Management. There's a lot of cool features Obsidian has which are essential to me:
1. Markdown 2. Ability to create a Zettelkasten 3. Backlinks
What it currently lacks for me is: 1. native iOS app (one app for all note-taking. This is why I can't see myself using Roam Research right now, despite it being a pretty cool project)
Good job to the dev team and will keep a closed eye on this project :)

I like what you said. One thing I'd add is: if you're not assuming positive intent, at least assume ignorance. Classic Hanlon's razor https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon%27s_razor
