New Note
Create a new note with the correct template and frontmatter.
Workflow
-
Title: Use $ARGUMENTS if provided, otherwise ask.
-
Load schema: Read CLAUDE.md for current valid types with descriptions. Present them for selection — do not hardcode.
-
Type: Ask the user to pick one. Show type name and "Use When" description.
-
Tags: Ask for tags (free-form, kebab-case). Show common tags as suggestions but accept any value.
-
Generate: Read the matching template from Templates/<Type>.md. Fill frontmatter: title, type, tags, created as today, status: active. If the user provided content context in conversation, generate the body.
-
Write to Notes/<type>/<kebab-case-title>.md and confirm with final frontmatter.
Efficiency shortcut
If the user provides enough context upfront (e.g., "/new-note MCP Server Setup — it's a config guide about MCP"), infer type and tags. Confirm choices rather than re-asking.
Template mapping (fallback reference)
The canonical type list comes from the vault's CLAUDE.md (loaded in step 2). This table is a fallback if that file is unavailable. Template path pattern: Templates/<Type>.md (capitalized).
