lb_create_para_item

Creates a new item in your PARA structure. PARA items are the primary organizational units in LoomBrain. Nodes are tagged with PARA items to scope them to a project, area of responsibility, or resource collection.

Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description | |-----------|------|----------|-------------| | category | string | Yes | PARA category: projects, areas, or resources | | label | string | Yes | Human-readable name for the item | | description | string | No | Optional description of the item's purpose or scope |

Response

{
  "id": "...",
  "slug": "...",
  "label": "...",
  "category": "...",
  "status": "active",
  "description": "...",
  "created_at": "..."
}

Usage notes

• The slug is generated automatically from label — lowercased, with spaces replaced by hyphens. You cannot set it manually.
• archive is not a valid category — archived items are ordinary items moved to the archive state via lb_archive_para_item.
• The created item has status: "active" and is immediately available for tagging nodes.
• To tag an existing node with the new item, use lb_update_node_tags.
