# Create Project Create a new project named "$ARGUMENTS" with an Obsidian project note. ## Steps ### 1. Clarify project details Gather from the user (skip what's already known from context): - **Project name** (use $ARGUMENTS if provided) - **Areas** — which area(s) of responsibility it belongs to - **Outcome** — what does "done" look like? - **Status** — active or someday? (default: active) - **Initial actions** — at least 2 (a project needs 2+ actions; single actions go to Action Pool). For someday projects, rough action ideas are fine. - **Deadline** — if any ### 2. Create Obsidian project note Use Obsidian CLI to create the note in `Notes/`: ```bash obsidian create path="Notes/$PROJECT_NAME.md" vault="{{VAULT_NAME}}" silent content="..." ``` The note must include: **Frontmatter:** ```yaml --- categories: ["[[Projects]]"] status: active | someday areas: [] tags: [] created: YYYY-MM-DD --- ``` Set `status` to the choice from Step 1. **Body:** ```markdown **Deadline:** YYYY-MM-DD (if applicable) ## Outcome [What does "done" look like?] ## Context [Why does this project matter? What prompted it?] ## Actions - [ ] First action - [ ] Second action - [ ] ... ## Completed ## Reference - [[]] ## Notes ``` Actions are an unordered menu — the user picks based on energy, context, and interest. Only enforce ordering for genuine dependencies. Optionally suggest energy/time hints: `~focused`, `~quick`, `~2h`. ### 3. Offer deadline reminder If the project has a hard deadline, offer to create an Apple Reminder for it. Skip for someday projects. ### 4. Proactive linking Follow the linking checklist: 1. `areas` property handles area link; verify area note exists 2. Search the vault for related notes and add wikilinks 3. Verify `categories` value has corresponding category note ### 5. Commit Commit the new project note and any modified files to git.
