FAQPage Schema
How do I capture user ideas verbatim without interpreting them?▼

Verbatim idea capture preserves exact user wording for later refinement. This Skill stores unaltered ideas in .wrangler/ideas/ using the MCP issues_create tool, creating an auditable artifact that maintains original phrasing without enhancement or interpretation.

What's the best way to archive rough feature concepts for future specification?▼

Archive rough concepts by capturing them verbatim in a dedicated ideas directory. This approach creates timestamped records suitable for converting into formal specifications or issues later, maintaining an audit trail of original proposals.

Can I convert captured ideas into issues or specifications later?▼

Yes. Captured ideas stored in .wrangler/ideas/ serve as source material for downstream conversion into formal specifications or issues. The verbatim preservation ensures no original intent is lost during later refinement and formalization.

How does verbatim capture work with MCP workflow tools?▼

Verbatim capture integrates with MCP through the issues_create tool, storing ideas with type='idea' in the ideas directory. This creates machine-readable artifacts compatible with MCP-based workflow automation and issue tracking pipelines.

Why preserve exact user wording instead of paraphrasing ideas?▼

Exact wording prevents interpretation loss and maintains accountability. Verbatim records provide clarity when transitioning ideas to specifications, reduce miscommunication in team refinement, and create defensible audit trails for feature tracking.
