| description | Capture an idea as its own note before it's forgotten |
| argument-hint | <the idea> |
Capture an idea. Today: !date +%Y-%m-%d.
Input: $ARGUMENTS
Steps
-
If $ARGUMENTS is empty, ask: "What's the idea?"
-
Generate a short slug from the idea (lowercase, hyphens, 4-6 words max).
-
Pick the most fitting tag — don't ask, just pick:
idea/work — work-related, could benefit the team or product
idea/personal — personal life improvement
idea/product — product feature or user-facing improvement
idea/process — process, tooling, or workflow improvement
-
Create the note:
obsidian create name="[date]-[slug]" path="Notes/" content="---
date: [date]
type: idea
tags: [idea/TAG, status/unrefined]
---
# [Idea title]
[The idea as described — keep it as stated, don't over-elaborate]
"
-
Append to the Ideas atlas under ## Unrefined:
obsidian append file="Atlas/Ideas" content="- [[date-slug]] | Added: [date]"
-
Confirm: "Captured as [[date-slug]]. You have [N] unrefined ideas."
Do not elaborate, categorise further, or suggest next steps unless asked. Just capture it fast.
