Create content draft: $ARGUMENTS

Philosophy

• Ship > Perfect
• Build in public
• Story > Features
• Time-box everything

IMPORTANT: Be direct

• Don't check if folders exist
• Just create the draft

Flow

1. Show available ideas from 05_Areas/content-creation/ideas/

   • List ideas with source notes
   • Ask which to draft (or use $ARGUMENTS if specified)

2. Determine content type:

   • Tweet (single post)
   • Thread (multi-post story)
   • LinkedIn (longer story format)
   • Blog (full article)
   • Video script (demo/tutorial)

3. Create draft in 06_Content/{{YYYY-MM-DD}}/{slug}/{type}.md:

   ---
   type: {tweet|thread|linkedin|blog|video}
   status: draft
   created: {{date}}
   source: [[{source-note}]]
   publish_date:
   ---
   # {Title}
   
   ## Hook

   ## CTA
