2. Get the content/idea from the user
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
```markdown
---
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
