SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Users often generate vague ideas or fragments that never become actionable. This Skill structures those fragments into concrete tasks and compressed long-term memories (mem0).

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Two-output workflow: Creates one or more tasks and adds concise memory entries to mem0.
  • Clarify before capture: If needed, asks 1–2 clarifying questions to reduce ambiguity.
  • Structured outputs: Produces a compact title, description, category, priority, and tags for easy triage.

Quick Start

Tell capture-idea to treat "research question: how to optimize onboarding" as a task and memory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn scattered ideas into actionable tasks?

Capture-idea converts vague ideas and fragments into structured tasks with clear titles, descriptions, categories, priorities, and tags. It asks clarifying questions when needed to reduce ambiguity, then creates concrete action items ready for your task workflow.

Can I store ideas as long-term memories alongside tasks?

Yes. Capture-idea creates both tasks and compressed memory entries simultaneously. It stores condensed conclusions in mem0 without preserving verbatim dialogue, letting you retain key insights for future reference without cluttering your task list.

What types of ideas work best with this Skill?

Capture-idea handles personal, professional, and research workflows—research questions, emergent follow-ups, action items, and reflections that require future recall. It structures anything from rough thoughts to half-formed questions into retrievable, prioritized outputs.

How does capture-idea handle ambiguous or incomplete ideas?

If an idea is unclear, capture-idea asks 1–2 focused clarifying questions before structuring it. This reduces ambiguity upfront so your tasks and memories are precise and actionable rather than vague.

Do I need to format my input in a specific way?

No. Simply tell capture-idea your idea, question, or fragment in natural language. The Skill handles the structuring—clarifying if needed, then producing formatted tasks and memory entries automatically.
