Good questions! I don’t want to be too prescriptive – the object of the exercise is to generate searchable, linkable slips quickly.
In my thinking, the draft title and the (main) markdown heading would be the same.
It actually doesn’t matter where the ID appears in the note but it’s ugly if it forms part of the heading. My preference is for all the ‘front matter’ to be together at the top but that’s just a familiar convention.
Here’s a general-interest example which is probably a bit more structured than most – a typical slip would be more like a heading and a paragraph or two:

Feel free to suggest a different or better way to go! The workflow should rule… Eg, another approach would be to generate slip template in Drafts (with the ID) and then add text and title and post to e.g. Ulysses as a separate action.
Thank you so much for your input, sylumer.
