3. Generate a descriptive filename based on the content
4. Create a new note in {vault}/01 Inbox/{filename}.md
5. Include project context in the note

Note Template

---
created: YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm
project: {project-name}
source: {working-directory}
status: inbox
---

# {Title}

{User-provided content}

## Context

- **Project:** {project-name}
- **Directory:** {working-directory}
- **Created during:** {brief description of what was being worked on}

Process

Step 1: Gather context

• Get current date and time from system
• Identify project name from git remote or directory name
• Get current working directory path

Step 2: Process user input

• Extract the main idea/content from user's request
• Generate a concise, descriptive title for the note
• Create a filename from the title (lowercase, hyphens, no special chars)

Step 3: Create the note

• Build path: {vault}/01 Inbox/{filename}.md
• Populate template with gathered information
• Include any additional context the user provides

Step 4: Confirm creation

• Verify the file was created successfully
• Report the note location to the user

Filename Guidelines

• Use lowercase letters and hyphens only
• Keep it concise but descriptive (3-6 words)
• No dates in filename (dates are in frontmatter)
• Examples: api-rate-limiting-idea.md, refactor-auth-module.md

Success Criteria

• Note created in correct inbox path
• Frontmatter includes project context
• Content accurately captures user's input
• Filename is descriptive and properly formatted
