Field Descriptions

| Field | Value | Notes | |-------|-------|-------| | title | User-provided | Required | | description | User-provided or enriched | Optional. Can be enhanced with context beyond user's exact words | | author | "Sushant Vema" | Always set | | date_created | ISO timestamp | Auto-generated | | date | ISO timestamp | Auto-generated | | publish | true/false | Default: false | | tags | List | Optional |

Description Guidelines

The description field is flexible and can be enriched by the agent:

  • User provides description: Use it as-is or enhance with additional context
  • User doesn't provide description: Create a concise, informative description based on the topic
  • Enrichment encouraged: Add technical context, use cases, or clarifying details that make the note more discoverable

Example enrichments:

  • User: "Create a note about PyO3"
  • Basic: "A way to wrap Rust logic into Python modules"
  • Enriched: "Rust-Python interoperability library for creating native Python extensions in Rust, providing performance benefits and type safety"

Filename Generation

  • Title is slugified (lowercase, dashes instead of spaces)
  • Example: "Machine Learning Basics" → machine-learning-basics.md
  • Placed in content/notes/ by default
