+description: |
+  Create a new project note in the proj/ folder.
+
+  Triggers when user mentions:
+  - "create a project note"
+  - "make a project note"
+  - "new project note"
+---
+
+## Quick Usage
+
+### Create a project note
+
+1. Create a new markdown file in `proj/` with the naming convention: `proj/<short-description>.md`
+2. Add YAML frontmatter with any known fields (see below)
+3. Add the project title as an H1
+4. Add any provided links, descriptions, or context
+
+## Frontmatter Reference
+
+Common frontmatter fields for project notes:
+
+```yaml
+---
+tags: work        # Comma-separated tags (e.g., work, personal, homelab)
+type: escalation  # Note type (e.g., escalation, idea, tracking, project)
+status: active    # Current status (e.g., active, idea, done, blocked)
+---
+```
+
+These are not all required. Only include what's provided or known. Add new fields here as conventions develop.
+
+## Notes
+
+- Project notes live in the `proj/` directory inside the notes workspace
+- The `projects.md` file auto-lists them via a SilverBullet query
