What is zettelkasten linking for project notes?

Zettelkasten linking for project notes is a method of connecting individual idea notes to a central projects.md index, establishing back-links to related notes to create an interlinked, searchable knowledge network for research.

How do I document project research and link it to my notes directory?

You document project research by spawning a web-research workflow to gather sources, integrating findings into a new project note, and linking it to projects.md within your configured notes_dir.

Does this project note workflow require a repository?

No, this project note workflow does not require a repository. It intentionally skips repo creation, focusing instead on documenting the idea and linking it into projects.md to maintain a lightweight, searchable idea network.

Can I run web research in the background while creating a project note?
