Analyze Note

Analyze this note for integration into my Zettelkasten. Use the slipbox tools to ground your suggestions in my actual knowledge base.

1. Atomicity Check

Does the note contain exactly one idea? If multiple concepts are present:

• List each distinct idea that should be its own note
• Identify the primary idea vs. supporting details
• Search first to flag any that duplicate existing notes

2. Connectivity Analysis

Do this before suggesting connections:

1. Extract 2-3 key terms from the note
2. Run slipbox_search_notes for each term to find related existing notes
3. Run slipbox_find_similar_notes if this is an existing note ID
4. Check slipbox_find_central_notes to see if this relates to a knowledge hub

Then report:

• Specific existing notes this should link to (with IDs and titles)
• Recommended link types for each connection:
  • extends — builds on the target note
  • refines — clarifies or improves the target
  • contradicts — presents opposing view
  • questions — raises doubts about the target
  • supports — provides evidence for the target
  • related — loose thematic connection

3. Clarity Enhancement

Rewrite the note to:

• Express one idea clearly and completely
• Stand alone without external context
• Use terminology consistent with existing notes (check related notes for conventions)
• Stay within 3-7 paragraphs

Provide the rewritten version in a code block for easy copying.

4. Metadata Suggestions

Tags: Run slipbox_get_all_tags first. Suggest 3-5 tags, preferring existing tags over new ones. If proposing a new tag, justify why existing tags don't fit.

Title: Propose a clear, searchable title that expresses the core idea.

Note type:

• fleeting — raw capture, needs processing
• literature — extracted from a source. REQUIRES at least one entry in references. Use fleeting if you don't have the citation yet.
• permanent — refined idea in user's own words
• structure — organizes 7-15 related notes on a topic
• hub — entry point to a major knowledge domain
