Types & Templates

Types give notes a repeatable structure. A type maps a name to a directory and a template.

Default Types

Type	Directory	Template
note	Notes/	.pkm/types/note.md
moc	MOCs/	.pkm/types/moc.md
fleeting	Inbox/	.pkm/types/fleeting.md

Template Example

---
type: dag
schedule: ""
retry: ""
---

# {title}

Register it:

pkm type add dag --template dag-template.md --dir Notes/DAGs --scope global

Use it:

pkm save --type dag --title "DAG: user_events_daily" --tags dag,airflow

Resolution Order

When saving a project note, pkm checks project types first and then falls back to global types. Project types override global types with the same name.
