- Rename my \[OLD NAME] note to \[NEW NAME].

## What alfred_ does

- **Rename**: keeps the content, updates the name, all references update
- **Clear**: keeps the note name, wipes the content
- **Delete**: removes the note entirely
- **Archive**: hides from default view but keeps the content

## Common patterns

- "Rename '2026 PMF update' to '2026 PMF'" (real user prompt)
- "Clear my Q3 note and start fresh"
- "Delete the old Acme deal note"
