Workflow: Create Note

Create notes with proper frontmatter, PARA placement, and wikilinks.

Steps

1. Determine note type - project, zettelkasten, concept, howto, adr, meeting, moc, or generic
2. Select PARA folder based on type:
   • Project -> 01 - Projects/
   • Zettelkasten/Concept -> 04 - Permanent/
   • How-To/Resource -> 03 - Resources/
   • Meeting -> 10 - 1-1/ or project folder
   • MOC -> 00 - Maps of Content/
   • Generic -> 00 - Inbox/ (for later triage)
3. Apply template from reference/knowledge-capture.md or reference/vault-organization.md
4. Generate frontmatter with created, updated, tags, type
5. Scan for related notes and insert [[wikilinks]]
6. Create file using Tools/NoteCreator.py create
