Create Note
create_noteCreate a new markdown note in your Obsidian vault. Specify path, content, and optional frontmatter. Fails if the note already exists to prevent accidental overwrites.
Instructions
Create a new markdown note at the given path with body content and optional YAML frontmatter. Fails (does not overwrite) if a note already exists at that path — use append_to_note, prepend_to_note, or update_frontmatter for existing notes. Missing directories are created automatically, and a .md extension is appended if omitted.
