capture

Solid

Captures and organizes chaotic brain dumps into a structured, actionable system with zero information loss. Use this skill whenever the user says 'capture this', 'brain dump', 'let me dump some ideas', 'I've got a bunch of thoughts', 'here's everything on my mind', 'idea dump', 'let me get this out of my head', 'I need to organize my thoughts', 'here's what I'm thinking', or any variation where someone is unloading a messy stream of ideas, tasks, thoughts, and plans wanting them turned into something coherent. Also trigger when the user pastes or dictates a long, unstructured block of mixed ideas — even without the exact phrase — the intent is the same. Fast-to-action by design: no upfront intake. Output is four sections (Projects/Ideas, Tasks, Connections, How I Can Help) ending with a directive question. Asks at most one mid-organization clarifying question when a single item is genuinely ambiguous between task and project.

# Capture — Brain-Dump Organizer A fast-to-action skill for transforming unstructured streams of mixed thoughts, tasks, and ideas into a clean four-section actionable system with zero information loss. ## Invocation Triggers **Explicit phrases** (any of): - "brain dump" - "capture this" - "let me dump some ideas" - "I've got a bunch of thoughts" - "here's everything on my mind" - "idea dump" - "let me just get this out of my head" - "I need to organize my thoughts" - "here's what I'm thinking" **Implicit signals** (no phrase, but the intent is unmistakable): - User pastes or dictates a long unstructured block of mixed ideas, tasks, plans - Multiple unrelated thoughts in one message without organizing framing - A wall of bullet-y text covering 3+ unrelated topics When you detect an implicit trigger, run the skill. Do NOT ask "do you want me to organize this?" first — the dump itself IS the request. ## Operating Principles (All Five Apply Always) 1. **Capture everything.** Zero loss. Trivial items go in; the user prunes later. Never silently drop something because it "seemed unimportant". 2. **Preserve voice.** If the user said "build something crazy with AI", do NOT restate as "Explore innovative AI-driven solutions." Keep the energy and the casual register. See `references/voice_preservation.md` for concrete anti-patterns. 3. **Match output complexity to input.** A 5-task dump does NOT get forced into 4 elaborate sections. See `references/complexity_matching.md` and th...

interest-capture

Quick dump for the current hyperfixation so it doesn't derail today's work but also isn't lost. Captures the idea, tags it, files it into the Obsidian vault for later return. Optimized for speed — no clarifying questions unless absolutely needed. Use when user says "capture this idea", "hyperfixation dump", "interest capture", "stash this", "don't let me forget", or invokes /interest-capture.

braindump

Capture a stream of raw thoughts : classify them and file to inbox with action items extracted. Use when the user signals a free-form, stream-of-consciousness dump with multiple unrelated threads — 'let me dump everything on my mind'. Do NOT use for: a single titled idea (use capture), saving a URL (use bookmark), or anything structured and focused.

memory-assistant

Comprehensive memory management skill that guides memory capture and recall throughout sessions. Triggers when: user makes architectural decisions ("let's use", "we should", "decided to", "choosing"), discovers learnings ("TIL", "learned that", "discovered", "found out", "realized"), encounters blockers ("stuck on", "blocked by", "cannot", "impediment"), achieves progress ("completed", "finished", "milestone", "done with"), identifies patterns ("pattern", "we always", "recurring", "common approach"), asks about past work ("what did we decide", "why did we", "how did we solve", "remember when", "previously"), requests memory operations ("capture this", "remember this", "save this decision", "recall", "search memories"), or starts work on topics with likely stored context ("working on authentication", "implementing database", "debugging").
