inteligir Frontmatter
Frontmatter is an optional YAML mapping at the very top of a note, closed before
the H1. It is the only place note properties live: there is no metadata
database, so a field that is not here does not exist.

# Migration Plan
What Belongs
Fields that help someone find, group, or filter the note later — and that give
an agent structured context before it reads the body.
| Field | For |
|---|
id | The note's stable identity. App-assigned. |
description | One line of what the note is |
tags | Grouping and search |
status | A light state — draft, active, done, whatever the vault already uses |
type | The kind of note — spec, research, meeting |
aliases | Other titles wiki links may resolve through |
None of these are fixed enums. Reuse the values the vault already uses instead
of inventing a parallel vocabulary; a status: in-progress next to twenty
status: active notes just splits the group in two.
Unknown fields are valid and are preserved. Prefer scalars and lists of strings.
Nested structures survive but are not editable in the panel.
What You Must Not Touch
id: is the note's identity. Wiki links and formula references point at it.
Never invent one, never copy one between notes, never edit or remove one.
The title is the filename. Do not add a title: field expecting it to win,
and do not restate frontmatter as a bold label in the body — one home per fact.
Malformed YAML is preserved exactly as written rather than repaired, because
guessing at a broken mapping loses data. Leave it unless fixing it is the task.
Before You Finish
- Frontmatter is the first thing in the file and closes before the H1.
- It parses as a top-level YAML mapping.
id is untouched; unrelated keys survived your edit byte for byte.- Values reuse the vault's existing vocabulary.
- The note has no frontmatter at all if it had nothing worth recording.
