SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables you to capture unstructured input (screenshots, notes, conversations) and turn it into structured data stored in the Second Brain Supabase database. It automatically extracts contacts, tasks, and ideas, then preserves the original content for reference.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic data extraction: Identify and structure contacts (names, emails, phones), tasks, and ideas from input.
  • Supabase integration: Store parsed data in the Second Brain database with context and enrichment.
  • Raw capture preservation: Always save the complete original content with source and timestamp for auditing.

Quick Start

Use the capture skill to save a screenshot or pasted text. Paste the content you want to remember and say "save this" to store it in Second Brain.

FAQPage Schema
How do I capture and structure information from screenshots and notes?

Capture automatically extracts and structures contacts, tasks, and ideas from screenshots, meeting notes, or pasted text, then stores the parsed data in Supabase with the original content preserved for reference.

Can I extract contacts and tasks from unstructured text?

Yes, capture identifies and structures contacts with names, emails, and phones, plus tasks and ideas from any text input, enriching them with location, timezone, industry, and seniority data before storing in your Second Brain database.

What happens to the original content when I capture information?

Capture preserves the complete raw content with source and timestamp for auditing while also storing the parsed, structured data separately, ensuring you never lose the original context.

Does capture work with screenshots and pasted notes?

Capture accepts screenshots, pasted text, meeting notes, and transcripts as input, parsing each format to extract contacts, tasks, and ideas with automatic duplicate checking across your Supabase tables.

How do I save captured data to my Second Brain database?

Capture automatically stores parsed data into the Supabase MCP across captured_items and contacts tables; paste your content and say 'save this' to capture and store it with enriched fields.

What structured fields does capture add when parsing input?

Capture enriches extracted contacts and tasks with location, timezone, industry, and seniority while maintaining raw content, enabling reliable long-term storage and later retrieval across your Second Brain.
