Quick Note Capture

Quickly capture information into Apple Notes from the command line.

Instructions

1. Determine capture type - Ask what kind of note the user wants to create:

   • Quick thought/idea
   • Meeting notes
   • Code snippet
   • Reference information
   • Journal entry

2. Gather content - Get the note content from the user or from context:

   • If they provide content, use it directly
   • If capturing from clipboard, help them pipe it in
   • If from a file, read and include it

3. Generate appropriate title - Based on content type:

   • Quick thoughts: Idea - [brief description]
   • Meeting: Meeting - [topic] - YYYY-MM-DD
   • Code: Code - [language/purpose]
   • Reference: Ref - [topic]
   • Journal: Journal - YYYY-MM-DD

4. Create the note - Use the notes CLI:

   notes create "Title" << 'EOF'
   Content here
   EOF
   

5. Confirm creation - Verify the note was created:

   notes show "Title"
