## Operations

| Action | Command |
|--------|---------|

## Note Format

Notes use YAML frontmatter:

```markdown

title: My Note
tags: [project, idea]
created: 2026-06-13
---

# My Note

Content here. Link to [[other-note]] using wiki-links.
```

## Features

- **Tags**: YAML frontmatter tags for categorization
- **Daily notes**: Auto-created `YYYY-MM-DD.md` journal entries
- **Full-text search**: Grep-based search across all notes
- **Backlinks**: Discover which notes link to a given note
