Remember

Save a structured decision, gotcha, or architectural choice to the Obsidian vault as an individual note in the decisions/ directory.

Instructions

1. Parse the input. Extract the core decision, fact, or gotcha from $ARGUMENTS.

2. Classify the type based on content:

   • decision -- a choice made between alternatives (e.g., "chose Groq over Gemini")
   • procedural -- a how-to or workflow step (e.g., "deploy requires manual cookie refresh first")
   • fact -- an objective piece of information (e.g., "YNAB API cannot overwrite split transactions")
   • gotcha -- a surprising behavior or trap (e.g., "Amazon blocks Cloud Run datacenter IPs")

3. Infer the project name from conversation context (git remote, working directory, or topic).

4. Generate a short title (3-7 words) that captures the essence.

5. Write to vault via mcp__obsidian__write_note:

   Path: decisions/[Project] - [Short Title].md

   Frontmatter:

   name: [Short Title from step 4]
   description: [One-line summary of the decision/fact/gotcha -- concise enough for frontmatter search]
   type: [decision|procedural|fact|gotcha]
   project: [Project Name]
   date: [YYYY-MM-DD]
   status: Active
   tags: [relevant, tags]
   

   Body format depends on type:

   For decision:

   **Decision:** [One sentence stating what was decided]
   **Reasoning:** [Why this was chosen]
   **Alternatives considered:** [What was rejected and why]
   **Consequences:** [What this means going forward]
   

   For gotcha:

   **Gotcha:** [One sentence stating the surprising behavior]
   **Symptom:** [What you observe when you hit this]
   **Fix:** [How to work around or resolve it]
   

   For fact or procedural:

   [The fact or procedure, written clearly in 1-3 sentences with relevant context]
   

6. Confirm what was saved and where (vault path).
