SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides a low-friction intake queue to quickly capture ideas, bugs, and follow-up tasks, allowing you to review and act on items later without breaking your workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Quick capture: Add ideas, issues, and documentation gaps to a persistent intake queue.
  • Review & prioritize: List pending items and organize by priority for later escalation.
  • Promote to specs: Dismiss items or promote them into actionable spec tasks to drive work.
  • Workflow continuity: Keep a running backlog of items while you continue coding or researching.

Quick Start

Use the foundry-note skill to quickly capture items and manage your intake queue. Example commands:

  • Add item: Skill(foundry:foundry-note) "Add idea: draft onboarding checklist"
  • List items: Skill(foundry:foundry-note) "Show me the intake queue"
  • Promote or dismiss: Skill(foundry:foundry-note) "Promote intake-001 to spec" or "Dismiss item intake-001, resolved"

FAQPage Schema
How do I quickly capture ideas and tasks without interrupting my coding workflow?

You can rapidly capture ideas and tasks into a persistent intake queue using MCP-based authoring actions. This lightweight workflow allows you to log items on the fly and review them later without breaking your current focus.

How do I prioritize and manage a backlog of captured follow-up tasks?

To prioritize captured follow-up tasks, you can list pending items from the intake queue and organize them by priority. This allows you to systematically review your backlog before deciding whether to dismiss or escalate items.

How do I promote a captured idea into an actionable spec task?

You can promote an intake queue item into an actionable spec task by triggering a promotion-to-spec transition. This converts a raw captured idea into structured work, moving it from your backlog into active development.

When should I dismiss items from my intake queue?

You should dismiss items from your intake queue when the captured issue is resolved or the idea is no longer relevant. Dismissing removes the entry from your pending backlog to maintain a clean and actionable list.

Can I use MCP-based actions to manage an intake queue for documentation gaps and bugs?

Yes, you can use MCP-based authoring actions to manage an intake queue for documentation gaps and bugs. The queue accepts any rapid capture entry, allowing you to consolidate issues and ideas for later review.

Do I need any dependencies to run a lightweight intake queue for issue tracking?

No dependencies are required to run this lightweight intake queue. It operates independently using front-end workflow logic and MCP actions to manage item capture, dismissal, and spec promotion.
