idea

name	idea
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

1. If $ARGUMENTS is empty, ask: "What's the idea?"

2. Generate a short slug from the idea (lowercase, hyphens, 4-6 words max).

3. 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

4. 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]
   "
   

5. Append to the Ideas atlas under ## Unrefined:

   obsidian append file="Atlas/Ideas" content="- [[date-slug]] | Added: [date]"
   

6. 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.
