Use a Shell function (recommended — zero dependencies)
#

Add this to ~/.zshrc:

labnote() {
 local slug="${1:-}"
 if [[ -z "$slug" ]]; then
 read "slug?Lab note slug: "
 fi
 slug="${slug// /_}" # spaces → underscores
 (cd ~/code/thetasigma-site && hugo new "lab-notes/${slug}.md" && code "content/lab-notes/${slug}.md")
}

Then labnote thetasigma_labs_setup or just labnote and it prompts you. Opens it in VSCode immediately. This is almost certainly what you want — it’s a 30-second setup and you never leave the terminal.
