Apple Shortcut for adding to the vault inbox

1. Receive URLs (if using from Share Sheet)
2. Ask for text - freeform thought
3. Pull current time and duration from wake up
4. Create file with
   • File name as “YYYY-MM-dd HHmmss Z” and part of the freeform input text
   • File body with time, day duration, freeform thought, URL (if applicable), and tagged with “inbox”
5. Save to the vault folder

The new file is dropped in a location in the vault where it can be consistently and reliably processed later (Vault inbox). Mine are found by querying for the “inbox” tag.
