## The prompt

- Add a card to my \[COLUMN]: \[TITLE]

## What alfred_ does

1. Creates the card in the column you named
2. Sets priority if mentioned
3. Sets assignee if mentioned
4. Confirms the card was added

## Tips

- **Default column** is your "backlog" / inbox column unless you say otherwise
- **From an email**: "Make a card from this email" creates a card linked to the source thread
- **Bulk add**: "Add 5 cards: X, Y, Z, A, B"
