+# Specialized Note Type Editors — Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Replace the generic note editor with type-specialized form-first views for Person, Place, and List, and fix tab navigation so focus flows logically from title through content fields, skipping the formatting toolbar.
+
+**Architecture:** `NoteEditorView.vue` gains type-conditional template sections. When `noteType` is `person` or `place`, the main editor area renders a structured form with the TipTap editor in a secondary "Notes" section. When `noteType` is `list`, a dedicated list builder replaces TipTap as the primary interface. `MarkdownToolbar.vue` gets `tabindex="-1"` on buttons. Backend `_note_to_item` gains new person/place fields.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Vue 3 Composition API, TipTap editor, TypeScript, scoped CSS.

+### Task 1: Tab navigation fix — toolbar tabindex + auto-focus
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `frontend/src/components/MarkdownToolbar.vue`
+- Modify: `frontend/src/views/NoteEditorView.vue`
+
+**Context:** The MarkdownToolbar renders buttons via `v-for` in a single `<button>` element. Adding `tabindex="-1"` removes them from tab order while keeping them clickable. The NoteEditorView already has a `titleRef` — auto-focus on mount needs to call `.focus()` on it. The title placeholder should vary by note type.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add tabindex="-1" to toolbar buttons**
+
+In `frontend/src/components/MarkdownToolbar.vue`, find:
+
+```html
+        <button
+          v-for="btn in group"
+          :key="btn.id"
+          :class="['md-btn', { active: btn.isActive() }]"
+          :title="btn.title"
+          type="button"
+          @mousedown.prevent="btn.command()"
+        >
+```
+
+Replace with:
+
+```html
+        <button
+          v-for="btn in group"
+          :key="btn.id"
+          :class="['md-btn', { active: btn.isActive() }]"
+          :title="btn.title"
+          type="button"
+          tabindex="-1"
+          @mousedown.prevent="btn.command()"
+        >
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add auto-focus on mount and type-dependent placeholder**
+
+In `frontend/src/views/NoteEditorView.vue`, find the title input:
+
+```html
+      <input
+        ref="titleRef"
+        v-model="title"
+        type="text"
+        placeholder="Title"
+        class="title-input"
+```
+
+Replace with:
+
+```html
+      <input
+        ref="titleRef"
+        v-model="title"
+        type="text"
+        :placeholder="titlePlaceholder"
+        class="title-input"
+```
+
+Add the computed property in the `<script setup>` section, after the `isEditing` computed:
+
+```ts
+const titlePlaceholder = computed(() => {
+  switch (noteType.value) {
+    case 'person': return 'Name';
+    case 'place': return 'Place name';
+    case 'list': return 'List title';
+    default: return 'Title';
+  }
+});
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Auto-focus title on mount**
+
+In the `onMounted` callback, after all the data loading logic (after the draft restore try/catch block), add:
+
+```ts
+  await nextTick();
+  titleRef.value?.focus();
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Verify TypeScript compiles**
+
+```bash
+cd frontend && npx tsc --noEmit
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add frontend/src/components/MarkdownToolbar.vue frontend/src/views/NoteEditorView.vue
+git commit -m "feat(editor): skip toolbar in tab order; auto-focus title; type-dependent placeholders"
+```
+

+
+### Task 2: Person editor — form-first layout
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `frontend/src/views/NoteEditorView.vue`
+
+**Context:** When `noteType === 'person'`, the main content area should render a contact card form instead of the TipTap-first editor. The person metadata fields (currently in the sidebar) move to the main area, and new fields (birthday, organization, address) are added. The TipTap editor becomes a collapsible "Notes" section below. The sidebar keeps project/tags/type/etc but loses the person-specific fields.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add the person form template**
+
+In the template, find the `<!-- ── Main column ──` section. The current structure is:
+
+```html
+      <div class="note-main" @keydown.ctrl.e.prevent="tiptapEditor?.commands.focus()">
+        <div class="body-tabs-row">
+          ...
+        </div>
+        <!-- Streaming/Review/Normal editor templates -->
+      </div>
+```
+
+Wrap the existing main column content in a `v-if="noteType === 'note'"` (and also show it for any type not person/place/list), and add a person form block. Replace the opening of the main column content:
+
+Find the `<div class="note-main"` line and the content inside it up to `</div>` that closes `.note-main`. Wrap all existing content inside:
+
+```html
+      <div class="note-main">
+        <!-- ── Person form ──────────────────────────────────────── -->
+        <template v-if="noteType === 'person'">
+          <div class="entity-form">
+            <div class="ef-field">
+              <label class="ef-label">Relationship</label>
+              <input class="ef-input" v-model="entityMeta.relationship" placeholder="e.g. Friend, Colleague, Family" @input="markDirty" />
+            </div>
+            <div class="ef-field">
+              <label class="ef-label">Birthday</label>
+              <input class="ef-input" type="date" v-model="entityMeta.birthday" @input="markDirty" />
+            </div>
+            <div class="ef-field">
+              <label class="ef-label">Email</label>
+              <input class="ef-input" type="email" v-model="entityMeta.email" placeholder="email@example.com" @input="markDirty" />
+            </div>
+            <div class="ef-field">
+              <label class="ef-label">Phone</label>
+              <input class="ef-input" type="tel" v-model="entityMeta.phone" placeholder="+1 555 000 0000" @input="markDirty" />
+            </div>
+            <div class="ef-field">
+              <label class="ef-label">Organization</label>
+              <input class="ef-input" v-model="entityMeta.organization" placeholder="Company or organization" @input="markDirty" />
+            </div>
+            <div class="ef-field">
+              <label class="ef-label">Address</label>
+              <input class="ef-input" v-model="entityMeta.address" placeholder="Street, City, State" @input="markDirty" />
+            </div>
+          </div>
+          <div class="notes-section">
+            <button class="notes-toggle" @click="notesExpanded = !notesExpanded">
+              {{ notesExpanded ? '▾' : '▸' }} Notes
+            </button>
+            <div v-if="notesExpanded" class="notes-editor-wrap">
+              <MarkdownToolbar v-show="!showPreview" :editor="tiptapEditor" />
+              <TiptapEditor
+                ref="editorRef"
+                :modelValue="body"
+                placeholder="Additional notes, wikilinks, context..."
+                @update:modelValue="onBodyUpdate"
+                @escape="titleRef?.focus()"
+              />
+            </div>
+          </div>
+        </template>
+
+        <!-- ── Generic note editor (existing) ───────────────────── -->
+        <template v-else-if="noteType === 'note'">
+          <!-- ... existing TipTap-first editor content stays here ... -->
+        </template>
+      </div>
+```
+
+IMPORTANT: Do NOT duplicate the existing editor content. Wrap the existing content in `<template v-else-if="noteType === 'note'">` and place the person form as a sibling `<template>` above it. The place and list forms will be added in subsequent tasks.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add `notesExpanded` ref**
+
+In the `<script setup>`, after the `sidebarOpen` ref, add:
+
+```ts
+const notesExpanded = ref(false);
+```
+
+Also initialize it based on whether the note has body content, in the onMounted data-loading section. After `Object.assign(entityMeta, store.currentNote.metadata || {});` add:
+
+```ts
+      notesExpanded.value = !!(store.currentNote.body || '').trim();
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Remove person fields from sidebar**
+
+In the sidebar template, find:
+
+```html
+          <!-- Person metadata -->
+          <template v-if="noteType === 'person'">
+            <div class="sb-field">
+              <label class="sb-label">Relationship</label>
+              <input class="sb-input" v-model="entityMeta.relationship" placeholder="e.g. Friend, Colleague" @input="markDirty" />
+            </div>
+            <div class="sb-field">
+              <label class="sb-label">Email</label>
+              <input class="sb-input" v-model="entityMeta.email" type="email" placeholder="email@example.com" @input="markDirty" />
+            </div>
+            <div class="sb-field">
+              <label class="sb-label">Phone</label>
+              <input class="sb-input" v-model="entityMeta.phone" type="tel" placeholder="+1 555 000 0000" @input="markDirty" />
+            </div>
+          </template>
+```
+
+Delete this entire block.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Add entity form CSS**
+
+Add to the `<style scoped>` block:
+
+```css
+/* ── Entity form (Person / Place) ───────────────────────── */
+.entity-form {
+  display: flex;
+  flex-direction: column;
+  gap: 12px;

+}
+.ef-label {
+  font-family: 'Fraunces', Georgia, serif;
+  font-style: italic;
+  font-size: 0.78rem;
+  color: var(--color-primary);
+}
+.ef-input {
+  padding: 8px 12px;
+  border: 1px solid var(--color-border);

+}
+.ef-input:focus {
+  border-color: var(--color-primary);
+  box-shadow: var(--focus-ring);
+}
+.ef-input::placeholder {
+  color: var(--color-text-muted);
+}
+
+/* ── Notes section (collapsible TipTap) ─────────────────── */
+.notes-section {
+  margin-top: 16px;
+  border-top: 1px solid var(--color-border);
+  padding-top: 12px;
+}

+}
+.notes-toggle:hover {
+  color: var(--color-text);
+}
+.notes-editor-wrap {
+  margin-top: 8px;
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Verify TypeScript compiles**
+
+```bash
+cd frontend && npx tsc --noEmit
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add frontend/src/views/NoteEditorView.vue
+git commit -m "feat(editor): person form-first layout with structured fields and collapsible notes"
+```

+
+### Task 3: Place editor + List builder
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `frontend/src/views/NoteEditorView.vue`
+
+**Context:** Place uses the same entity form pattern as Person with different fields. List uses a dedicated checklist builder with Enter-to-add and Backspace-to-delete behavior. Both are additional `<template>` branches in the main column.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add place form template**
+
+In the `note-main` div, after the person `</template>` and before the generic note `<template v-else-if="noteType === 'note'">`, add:
+
+```html
+        <!-- ── Place form ───────────────────────────────────────── -->
+        <template v-else-if="noteType === 'place'">
+          <div class="entity-form">

+            </div>
+          </div>

+            <div v-if="notesExpanded" class="notes-editor-wrap">
+              <MarkdownToolbar v-show="!showPreview" :editor="tiptapEditor" />
+              <TiptapEditor
+                ref="editorRef"
+                :modelValue="body"
+                placeholder="Additional notes, wikilinks, context..."
+                @update:modelValue="onBodyUpdate"

+              />
+            </div>
+          </div>
+        </template>
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Remove place fields from sidebar**
+
+Find and delete:
+
+```html
+          <!-- Place metadata -->
+          <template v-if="noteType === 'place'">
+            <div class="sb-field">

+            </div>
+          </template>
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add list item types and state**
+
+In the `<script setup>`, after the `notesExpanded` ref, add:
+
+```ts
+// ── List builder ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+interface ListItem {
+  text: string;
+  checked: boolean;
+}
+const listItems = ref<ListItem[]>([]);
+const listItemRefs = ref<(HTMLInputElement | null)[]>([]);
+
+function parseListFromBody(bodyText: string): { items: ListItem[]; extra: string } {
+  const lines = bodyText.split('\n');
+  const items: ListItem[] = [];
+  const extraLines: string[] = [];
+  let pastList = false;
+  for (const line of lines) {
+    const stripped = line.trimStart();
+    if (!pastList && (stripped.startsWith('- [ ] ') || stripped.startsWith('- [x] ') || stripped.startsWith('- [X] '))) {
+      items.push({ text: stripped.slice(6), checked: !stripped.startsWith('- [ ] ') });
+    } else if (!pastList && stripped === '' && items.length > 0) {
+      pastList = true;
+    } else {
+      pastList = true;
+      extraLines.push(line);
+    }
+  }
+  return { items, extra: extraLines.join('\n').trim() };
+}
+
+function serializeListToBody(): string {
+  const listPart = listItems.value
+    .map(item => `- [${item.checked ? 'x' : ' '}] ${item.text}`)
+    .join('\n');
+  const extraPart = body.value.trim();
+  return extraPart ? `${listPart}\n\n${extraPart}` : listPart;
+}
+
+function addListItem(afterIndex?: number) {
+  const idx = afterIndex !== undefined ? afterIndex + 1 : listItems.value.length;
+  listItems.value.splice(idx, 0, { text: '', checked: false });
+  markDirty();
+  nextTick(() => {
+    listItemRefs.value[idx]?.focus();
+  });
+}
+
+function removeListItem(index: number) {
+  if (listItems.value.length <= 1) return;
+  listItems.value.splice(index, 1);
+  markDirty();
+  nextTick(() => {
+    const focusIdx = Math.max(0, index - 1);
+    listItemRefs.value[focusIdx]?.focus();
+  });
+}
+
+function onListItemKeydown(e: KeyboardEvent, index: number) {
+  if (e.key === 'Enter') {
+    e.preventDefault();
+    addListItem(index);
+  } else if (e.key === 'Backspace' && listItems.value[index].text === '') {

+function onListItemInput(index: number) {
+  markDirty();
+}
+
+function toggleListItemCheck(index: number) {
+  listItems.value[index].checked = !listItems.value[index].checked;
+  markDirty();
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Initialize list items on mount**
+
+In the onMounted data-loading section, after `notesExpanded.value = !!(store.currentNote.body || '').trim();`, add:
+
+```ts
+      if (noteType.value === 'list') {
+        const parsed = parseListFromBody(body.value);
+        listItems.value = parsed.items.length > 0 ? parsed.items : [{ text: '', checked: false }];
+        body.value = parsed.extra;
+        notesExpanded.value = !!parsed.extra;
+      }
+```
+
+And in the new-note branch (the `else` block after loading), after `noteType.value = qt as NoteType;`, add:
+
+```ts
+    if (noteType.value === 'list') {
+      listItems.value = [{ text: '', checked: false }];
+    }
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Update save to serialize list**
+
+In the `save` function, find where the body is prepared for the API call. Before the `apiPost` or `apiPatch` call that sends the note data, add list serialization. Find the save function's data construction. Add before the API call:
+
+```ts
+  const finalBody = noteType.value === 'list' ? serializeListToBody() : body.value;
+```
+
+Then use `finalBody` instead of `body.value` in the API payload. Find all occurrences of `body: body.value` in the save function and replace with `body: finalBody`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Add list builder template**
+
+In the `note-main` div, after the place `</template>` and before the generic note `<template v-else-if="noteType === 'note'">`, add:
+
+```html
+        <!-- ── List builder ─────────────────────────────────────── -->
+        <template v-else-if="noteType === 'list'">
+          <div class="list-builder">

+- [ ] **Step 8: Handle the generic note template wrapper**
+
+Make sure the existing TipTap-first editor content is wrapped in `<template v-else>` (not `v-else-if="noteType === 'note'"`) so it serves as the default for any unrecognized type.
+
+The final structure in `.note-main` should be:
+
+```
+<template v-if="noteType === 'person'"> ... </template>
+<template v-else-if="noteType === 'place'"> ... </template>
+<template v-else-if="noteType === 'list'"> ... </template>

+### Task 4: Backend — new person/place fields in knowledge cards
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/fabledassistant/services/knowledge.py`
+- Modify: `frontend/src/views/KnowledgeView.vue`
+
+**Context:** The knowledge card display should show the new fields (birthday, organization for person; website, category for place). The backend `_note_to_item` needs to include them. The frontend card rendering needs to display the useful ones.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Update `_note_to_item` for person**
+
+In `src/fabledassistant/services/knowledge.py`, find:
+
+```python
+    if note.entity_type == "person":
+        item["relationship"] = meta.get("relationship", "")
+        item["email"] = meta.get("email", "")
+        item["phone"] = meta.get("phone", "")

+        item["birthday"] = meta.get("birthday", "")
+        item["organization"] = meta.get("organization", "")
+        item["address"] = meta.get("address", "")
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Update `_note_to_item` for place**
+
+Find:
+
+```python
+    elif note.entity_type == "place":
+        item["address"] = meta.get("address", "")
+        item["phone"] = meta.get("phone", "")

+# Specialized Note Type Editors — Design Spec
+
+## Goal
+
+Replace the one-size-fits-all note editor with type-specialized views for Person, Place, and List. Each type gets a form-first layout where structured fields are the main content, with a secondary notes area for free text. Fix tab navigation across all note types so focus flows logically from title through fields to body, skipping the formatting toolbar.
+
+## Architecture
+
+The existing `NoteEditorView.vue` remains the single editor component but renders different layouts based on `noteType`. When `noteType` is `person`, `place`, or `list`, the main editor area switches from TipTap-first to form-first. The TipTap editor moves to a secondary "Notes" section below the form fields. The sidebar metadata fields for person/place move into the main content area. The `note_type` field, entity metadata storage, and API contract are unchanged.
+
+## Person Editor
+
+When `noteType === 'person'`, the main content area renders a contact card form instead of the TipTap editor.
+
+### Fields (in order, all in main content area)
+
+| Field | Type | Placeholder | Source |
+|-------|------|-------------|--------|
+| Name | text input (title) | "Name" | `title` |
+| Relationship | text input | "e.g. Friend, Colleague, Family" | `entityMeta.relationship` |
+| Birthday | date input | — | `entityMeta.birthday` (new field) |
+| Email | email input | "email@example.com" | `entityMeta.email` |
+| Phone | tel input | "+1 555 000 0000" | `entityMeta.phone` |
+| Organization | text input | "Company or organization" | `entityMeta.organization` (new field) |
+| Address | text input | "Street, City, State" | `entityMeta.address` (new field for person) |
+
+### Notes section
+
+Below the form fields, a collapsible "Notes" section with the TipTap editor for free-text content. This is where wikilinks, tags, and general context go. The section starts expanded if the note already has body content, collapsed if empty on a new note.
+
+### Layout
+
+```

+│ └──────────────────────────────────────┘ │
+│                                          │
+│           [sidebar: project/tags/etc]    │
+└──────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+### Data migration
+
+Existing person notes may have structured data written as plain text in the body (e.g. "Relationship: daughter Birthday: 2013-12-13"). No automatic migration — the body content stays as-is in the Notes section. Users can move data to the structured fields manually.
+
+## Place Editor
+
+When `noteType === 'place'`, same form-first pattern.
+
+### Fields
+
+| Field | Type | Placeholder | Source |
+|-------|------|-------------|--------|
+| Name | text input (title) | "Place name" | `title` |
+| Address | text input | "Street, City, State" | `entityMeta.address` |
+| Phone | tel input | "+1 555 000 0000" | `entityMeta.phone` |
+| Hours | text input | "e.g. Mon–Fri 9am–5pm" | `entityMeta.hours` |
+| Website | url input | "https://..." | `entityMeta.website` (new field) |
+| Category | text input | "e.g. Restaurant, Office, Doctor" | `entityMeta.category` (new field) |
+
+### Notes section
+
+Same as Person — collapsible TipTap editor below the form.
+
+## List Editor
+
+When `noteType === 'list'`, the main content area renders a checklist builder instead of the TipTap editor.
+
+### List builder
+
+Each list item is a row with:
+- Checkbox (toggle checked state)
+- Text input (item text, fills available width)
+- Delete button (× icon, right side)
+
+Below the items: an "Add item" button.
+
+### Behavior
+
+- **Enter** in any item input: creates a new item below and focuses it
+- **Backspace** on an empty item: deletes the item and focuses the previous one
+- **Checkbox toggle**: updates the item's checked state
+- **Delete button**: removes the item
+
+### Serialization
+
+On save, list items are serialized to markdown checkbox format in the body:
+```markdown
+- [ ] Buy groceries
+- [x] Call dentist
+- [ ] Pick up prescription
+```
+
+On load, the body is parsed back into structured items (same parser already exists in `knowledge.py` and `KnowledgeView.vue`).
+
+### Notes section
+
+Same collapsible TipTap "Notes" section below the list builder, for additional context that isn't a list item.
+
+### Layout

+
+## Tab Navigation & Auto-Focus
+
+### All note types
+
+1. **On page load**: focus the title/name input automatically
+2. **Tab from title**: skip the formatting toolbar entirely, go to the first content field:
+   - Note: TipTap editor body
+   - Person: Relationship field
+   - Place: Address field
+   - List: first list item (or "Add item" button if empty)
+3. **Tab through fields**: natural order through all form fields
+4. **Tab from last form field**: enter the Notes section (TipTap editor)
+
+### Implementation
+
+Set `tabindex="-1"` on all MarkdownToolbar buttons so they are clickable but not in the tab order. The toolbar remains fully functional via mouse/touch — it's just skipped when tabbing.
+
+### Title placeholder by type
+
+| Type | Placeholder |
+|------|-------------|
+| Note | "Title" |
+| Person | "Name" |
+| Place | "Place name" |
+| List | "List title" |
+| Task | "Title" (unchanged, task editor is separate) |
+
+## Sidebar changes
+
+When editing a Person or Place, the type-specific metadata fields (Relationship, Email, Phone, etc.) **move from the sidebar to the main content area**. The sidebar keeps: Project, Milestone, Tags, Suggest Tags, Type selector, Link Suggestions, Writing Assistant, Version History.
+
+The Type selector remains in the sidebar so users can change the type if needed. Changing type switches the layout.
+
+## Backend changes
+
+### New entity metadata fields
+
+The `entity_meta` JSON column on the Note model already stores arbitrary key-value pairs. No schema migration needed — just store the new keys:
+
+- Person: `birthday`, `organization`, `address` (new; `relationship`, `email`, `phone` existing)
+- Place: `website`, `category` (new; `address`, `phone`, `hours` existing)
+
+### Knowledge service
+
+Update `_note_to_item` in `services/knowledge.py` to include the new fields in the response for person and place cards:
+
+- Person: add `birthday`, `organization`, `address`
+- Place: add `website`, `category`
+
+### Knowledge card display
+
+Update `KnowledgeView.vue` card rendering to show the new fields where useful (e.g. organization on person cards, category on place cards).
+
+## Files changed
+
+| File | Change |
+|------|--------|
+| `frontend/src/views/NoteEditorView.vue` | Type-conditional layouts, form fields, list builder, tab navigation, auto-focus, title placeholders |
+| `frontend/src/views/KnowledgeView.vue` | Card display for new person/place fields |
+| `frontend/src/components/MarkdownToolbar.vue` | `tabindex="-1"` on all buttons |
+| `src/fabledassistant/services/knowledge.py` | New fields in `_note_to_item` for person/place |
+
+## What does NOT change
+
+- Note model / database schema (entity_meta is already a JSON column)
+- API endpoints (same CRUD)
+- Task editor (`TaskEditorView.vue`) — separate component, unchanged
+- Generic note editing — TipTap-first layout stays for `noteType === 'note'`
+- Backend storage format — entity_meta key-value pairs
