Workflow Patterns

Creating Tasks

When user says "add task", "remind me to", "todo":

1. •Identify the task content
2. •Check for deadline mentions ("by Friday", "next week")
3. •Check for scheduling ("tomorrow", "today")
4. •Determine priority if mentioned ("urgent", "important")
5. •Use appropriate template:
   • •Has deadline/schedule? Use T (full task)
   • •Quick capture? Use t
   • •For today? Use .

Format for org_capture tool:

template: "T"
title: "Review quarterly report"
deadline: "2024-01-15"  # optional
scheduled: "2024-01-14"  # optional
tags: ["work"]  # optional

Querying Agenda

When user asks "what's on my agenda", "what do I have today", "my tasks":

1. •Use org_agenda_today for current day
2. •Present tasks grouped by:
   • •Time-specific items first
   • •Deadlines
   • •Scheduled tasks
   • •Priority A items highlighted

Searching Notes

When user asks "find notes about", "what do I know about", "search for":

1. •Use org_roam_search for knowledge base queries
2. •Use org_search for full-text search across all org files
3. •Present results with:
   • •Note title
   • •Brief excerpt
   • •File location

Creating Knowledge Notes

When user wants to capture knowledge ("note about X", "remember that"):

1. •For quick notes: Use n template
2. •For structured knowledge: Use org_roam_create
3. •Consider linking to existing notes

File Locations

• •Inbox: ~/org/inbox.org - Default capture destination
• •Roam: ~/org/roam/ - Knowledge base (400+ notes)
• •Agenda files: organizer.org, inbox.org, cooking.org, routines.org

Response Style

• •Confirm actions taken: "Added task 'X' to your inbox"
• •For agenda queries, format as a clean list
• •For searches, show relevant excerpts
• •Offer follow-up actions when appropriate
