Speed up recurring note workflows with templates
Templates in Moonstone are stored in a configurable folder and can insert frontmatter and basic variables into the current note.
4 min readKeep templates close to the vault
Templates live inside your vault so they travel with your workflow and remain easy to inspect or edit in plain Markdown.
Use variables for the repetitive parts
Title, date, and time placeholders can take care of the boilerplate so you can focus on the actual thinking inside the note.
- {{title}} for the current note title
- {{date}} for the current date
- {{time}} for the current time
Start simple
The best templates are lightweight. A meeting note, reading note, or project snapshot is usually enough to save time without making the system feel heavy.
