You are creating a new scratch file in the .agents/scratches/ directory.

Your Task

1. Determine the slug - Based on the conversation context and intent, determine an appropriate file slug (kebab-case recommended). Ask the user if unclear.
2. Gather content - Collect or generate the scratch content from the discussion
3. Create the file - Use the create-scratch script to generate the file

Usage

The script will automatically:

• Generate a unique three-word ID (e.g., calm-teal-cloud)
• Create frontmatter with current date and formatted title
• Save the file as {id}-{slug}.md in .agents/scratches/

Creating the File

Option 1: Direct Content

If you have the content ready, run:

bun scripts/create-scratch.ts "<slug>" "Your scratch content here"

Option 2: Multi-line Content (Heredoc)

For multi-line content, use heredoc:

bun scripts/create-scratch.ts "<slug>" << HEREDOC
Your multi-line
scratch content
goes here
HEREDOC

Option 3: Pipe Content

You can also pipe content:

echo "Your content" | bun scripts/create-scratch.ts "<slug>"

File Format

The created file will have:

---
date: 2026-01-21
title: Scratch Title
---

Your content here

The title is automatically formatted from the slug (e.g., quick-notes → Quick Notes).

Guidelines

• Use descriptive slugs in kebab-case (e.g., exploration-ideas, temporary-notes)
• Scratch files are for temporary notes, explorations, or ideas
• The unique ID ensures no filename conflicts
• Files are automatically dated for organization

Begin

Create a scratch file using an appropriate slug based on the conversation context and content for notes or exploration.
