Organizing with Tags

Tags are a powerful way to organize your nuggets. Learn how to create an effective tagging system that helps you find and connect your insights.

What Are Tags?

Tags are labels you attach to nuggets to categorize them. Unlike folders, which force you to choose one location, tags allow a nugget to belong to multiple categories.

For example, a nugget about "React performance tips" could have tags like:

• react
• performance
• frontend
• project-website

Creating Tags

From the Tags Page

1. Navigate to Tags in the sidebar
2. Click "Create Tag"
3. Enter a name for your tag
4. Choose a color (optional)
5. Click "Save"

While Saving a Nugget

When saving a new nugget, tags are created and assigned automatically

Tag Best Practices

Use a Consistent Naming Convention

Choose a style and stick with it:

• Lowercase: react, marketing
• Kebab-case: project-alpha, user-research
• Avoid: mixing styles like React, marketing, Project_Alpha

Create Categories

Build a tagging taxonomy that makes sense for your work:

By Project

• project-alpha
• project-beta
• client-acme

By Topic

• coding
• design
• marketing
• research

By Type

• how-to
• decision
• idea
• reference

By Status

• action-required
• review-later
• archived

Don't Over-Tag

Aim for 2-5 tags per nugget. Too many tags can:

• Make it harder to find things
• Dilute the meaning of each tag
• Create maintenance headaches

Review Tags Regularly

Periodically review your tags:

• Merge similar tags (e.g., frontend and front-end)
• Delete unused tags
• Rename tags for clarity

Managing Tags

Editing Tags

1. Go to Tags in the sidebar
2. Click on a tag to edit it
3. Change the name or color
4. All associated nuggets are updated automatically

Deleting Tags

1. Go to Tags in the sidebar
2. Click the delete icon on a tag
3. Confirm the deletion
4. The tag is removed from all nuggets

Note: Deleting a tag doesn't delete the nuggets—it only removes the tag association.

Viewing Nuggets by Tag

To see all nuggets with a specific tag:

1. Go to Nuggets in the sidebar
2. Use the tag filter or search
3. Click on a tag to filter

Tag Colors

Colors help you visually distinguish tags at a glance. Consider using colors to indicate:

• Category type (blue for projects, green for topics)
• Priority (red for urgent, yellow for important)
• Status (gray for archived, purple for active)

Filtering and Searching

Using Tags in Search

On the Nuggets page, you can:

• Click tags to filter
• Combine multiple tags (AND logic)
• Search within tagged nuggets

In AI Chat

Reference tags when asking questions:

"What nuggets tagged with 'project-alpha' are about deployment?"

"Summarize my 'decision' tagged nuggets from this month."

Team Tags

When using Nuggetz.ai with a team:

• Tags are shared across the team
• Anyone can create, edit, or use tags
• Establish team conventions early
• Consider documenting your tagging system

Tips for Getting Started

1. Start simple – Begin with 5-10 broad tags
2. Add as needed – Create new tags when you notice patterns
3. Merge duplicates – Consolidate similar tags regularly
