Flow

Phase 1: Parse Input

Extract from user input:

• Topic/Title: The working title for the piece
• Target: Platform if specified (newsletter, blog, substack, x thread)

Parsing logic:

• If ends with - newsletter → target: Newsletter
• If ends with - blog → target: Blog
• If ends with - substack → target: Substack
• If ends with - x thread or - twitter → target: X thread
• Otherwise → target: draft (generic)

Phase 2: Check Prerequisites

1. Read vault path from config/vault.json
2. Check if Drafts folder exists: {{vault}}/05_WRITING/Drafts/
   • IF MISSING: Create it

Phase 3: Generate Filename

Convert topic to filename:

• Lowercase
• Replace spaces with hyphens
• Remove special characters
• Prefix with date: YYYY-MM-DD-
• Suffix: -DRAFT.md

Example: "The AI Native Company" → 2026-02-20-the-ai-native-company-DRAFT.md

Phase 4: Check for Existing File

Check if file already exists at {{vault}}/05_WRITING/Drafts/{{filename}}

• IF EXISTS: Inform user and ask if they want to open it or create a new version
• IF NOT EXISTS: Continue to creation

Phase 5: Create Draft File

Create file at {{vault}}/05_WRITING/Drafts/{{filename}} with template:

---
created: {{YYYY-MM-DD}}
status: draft
target: {{target}}
---

# {{Topic Title}}

## Hook


## Body


## Takeaway


---

#writing #draft

Phase 6: Check IDEAS.md

Check if the topic exists in {{vault}}/05_WRITING/Ideas/IDEAS.md:

• If found in "Ready to Draft" section → offer to mark as started
• If found in "Seeds" or "Developing" → note the connection
