" --print-path --no-input ``` This returns the file path (e.g. `/home/handolpark/notes/zettels/abc12345.md`). Then write the body into that file — the template already adds frontmatter with `title` and `date`; you only need to fill in `tags` and the content. The note body structure: ```markdown --- title: <concise title, noun phrase> date: <auto-filled> tags: [<relevant tags>] --- <Opening sentence: the core claim or definition, no preamble.> <Body: atomic — one idea, fully developed. Use ## headers for sub-sections if needed. Keep it dense and durable — written for future-you with no context from this conversation.> ## Sources - [Title](url) — for any web sources used ## Links - [[<id>]] — <title> — <one-line reason for the link> ``` ### 5. Confirm Report the filename and title. Offer to run `zk-connect` to surface more links. ## Rules - One idea per note (atomic) - Opening sentence must stand alone — no "In this note..." - Links must be bidirectional: if you link to a note, mention updating that note too - No orphan notes — every permanent note links to at least one other ## User Input $ARGUMENTS - The content, topic, or conversation excerpt to turn into a zettel

--- name: zk-zettel description: Turn conversation content or research into a permanent zettel note. Use when the user wants to save a synthesized idea, research output, or insight as a proper permanent note with links. model: sonnet --- # zk-zettel Convert conversation content into a permanent atomic note in `~/notes/zettels/`. ## When to Use - "Add this to my zettels" - "Save this as a note" - After `/research` produces a report - When a conversation yields a reusable insight worth keeping ## Procedure ### 1. Extract the atomic idea Identify the single core idea. If the content contains multiple distinct ideas, ask the user which to capture (or create multiple notes). ### 2. Find related existing notes ```bash zk list zettels --match "" --format "{{filename-stem}} {{title}}" zk list zettels --match "" --format "{{filename-stem}} {{title}}" ``` Run 2–3 searches across key terms. Collect candidate IDs for linking. ### 3. Create the note with `zk new` ```bash zk new zettels --title "" --print-path --no-input ``` This returns the file path (e.g. `/home/handolpark/notes/zettels/abc12345.md`).
