Task Creation Workflow

Discover categories: Use Glob base/categories/*.md to list available categories
Match category: Choose most relevant category for the task context
Determine type: If unclear → use inbox
Handle unknown category: Ask user or omit category tag; never invent
For links/videos → prefer reference type
For ideas without action → use idea
