Description Guidelines

The description field is flexible and can be enriched by the agent:

User provides description: Use it as-is or enhance with additional context
User doesn't provide description: Create a concise, informative description based on the topic
Enrichment encouraged: Add technical context, use cases, or clarifying details that make the note more discoverable

Example enrichments:

User: "Create a note about PyO3"
Basic: "A way to wrap Rust logic into Python modules"
Enriched: "Rust-Python interoperability library for creating native Python extensions in Rust, providing performance benefits and type safety"
