Create your first note

This walkthrough uses the akb CLI. Run the commands from inside your workspace folder, or pass the path with --root /path/to/workspace.

1. Create a note

akb create "Project Ideas"

Alexandria creates a Markdown file for the note in your workspace.

2. List your notes

akb list notes

Use this to confirm the note exists and to see its title and identifier.

3. Update the note

akb update "Project Ideas" --body "Ideas to explore for the next release."

You can also rename it:

akb update "Project Ideas" --title "Product Ideas"

4. Add a tag

Create a simple tag, then apply it:

akb create-tag "Planning"
akb tag "Product Ideas" "Planning"

Next, learn how tagging can add properties such as status, priority, and due dates.
