What this command does
The user wants to create a note about: $ARGUMENTS
Follow the note-authoring workflow:
- List the vault root to understand the folder structure.
- Suggest a placement (folder + filename) based on the topic. Confirm with the user.
- Search the vault for related existing notes to link in.
- Draft the note using the standard template (frontmatter, H1, body, Related section).
