Implement and maintain a Zettelkasten (slip-box) note-taking system in any tool. Use this skill whenever the user wants to: set up a Zettelkasten from scratch, organize existing notes with the Zettelkasten method, process an inbox of fleeting notes into permanent notes, create atomic notes, link notes into a knowledge network, find and connect orphaned notes, audit the health of a note system, create structure notes or maps of content (MOCs), split notes covering multiple ideas, or migrate notes into a slip-box workflow. Also trigger when the user mentions 'Zettelkasten', 'slip-box', 'smart notes', 'atomic notes', 'permanent notes', 'literature notes', 'fleeting notes', 'structure notes', 'MOCs', 'Luhmann', 'Ahrens', or 'How to Take Smart Notes', or asks how to organize notes with links instead of folders. The method is tool-agnostic: it works with Obsidian, Logseq, Notion, Craft, or plain markdown files.
