SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

End-of-session decisions, high-value outputs, and immediate next actions are often lost because capturing them requires an extra conscious step. This Skill ensures those ACT NOW items and a concise session summary are stored in Open Brain at session close so nothing important slips away.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Behavioral wrap-up detection: Recognizes end-of-session cues like "wrap up" or "park this" and triggers a focused capture routine.
  • ACT NOW capture with provenance: Captures each high-value action as a self-contained thought including why it matters, 2–3 concrete next steps, and provenance metadata.
  • Session summary capture and duplicate avoidance: Saves a single session summary and optionally checks Open Brain for obvious duplicates before creating captures. Use this for brainstorming wrap-ups, Panning for Gold evaluations, or any conversation that produced concrete next actions.

Quick Start

End the session and tell the AI to wrap up and capture each ACT NOW item and a concise session summary to Open Brain using the available capture tool.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically save session decisions and next actions to knowledge management storage?

Automatically saving session decisions requires capturing end-of-session cues like "wrap up" to store ACT NOW items and concise summaries in Open Brain persistent storage. This prevents high-value outputs from being lost when a conversation ends.

What is the best way to capture brainstorming wrap-ups without losing immediate next steps?

The best way to capture brainstorming wrap-ups is to trigger a focused routine at session close that saves high-value actions as self-contained thoughts, including why they matter and concrete next steps, directly to Open Brain.

How do I avoid duplicate entries when saving session summaries to Open Brain?

To avoid duplicate entries when saving session summaries, the capture routine optionally checks Open Brain for obvious duplicates using a search tool before creating new persistent storage records.

Do I need an AI client with skill support to auto-capture session-ending decisions?

Yes, you need an AI client with reusable instructions or skill support and access to an Open Brain capture tool. The optional search tool helps check for duplicates before saving.

Can I use this to save outputs from a Panning for Gold evaluation?

Yes, you can use this to save outputs from a Panning for Gold evaluation or any conversation that produced concrete next actions. It captures each high-value item with provenance metadata into Open Brain.
