Recently I've started using [org-roam](https://www.orgroam.com/), so far so
good. Utilizing capture buffers I create notes for work and my reefing aquarium
hobby. Adding the roam tags manually became a pain so now I've figured out a way to 
prefill them with capture templates.

```lisp
(setq org-roam-capture-templates
        '(("r" "reef" plain (function org-roam-capture--get-point)
           "%?"
           :file-name "%<%Y%m%d%H%M%S>-${slug}"
           :head "#+title: ${title}\n#+roam_tags: reef"
           :unnarrowed t)
          ("w" "work" plain (function org-roam-capture--get-point)
           "%?"
           :file-name "%<%Y%m%d%H%M%S>-${slug}"
           :head "#+title: ${title}\n#+roam_tags: work"
           :unnarrowed t)
          ("d" "default" plain (function org-roam-capture--get-point)
           "%?"
           :file-name "%<%Y%m%d%H%M%S>-${slug}"
           :head "#+title: ${title}\n"
           :unnarrowed t)))
```
