SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Valuable ideas, theses, and observations shared in conversation are often lost in chat history. This Skill preserves original thinking in a gbrain knowledge base by storing the user's exact words as tagged, cross-linked pages so insights remain discoverable through the graph. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Verbatim Capture: Stores the user's exact phrasing without paraphrasing, since the original language carries the insight. - Structured Filing: Files each capture under ideas/ or concepts/ with YAML frontmatter (title, type, tags, date) and one page per distinct idea. - Graph Linking: Tags pages with idea and creates back-links from every mentioned person, company, or project so captures are discoverable. - Use Case: A founder says "I think we should pivot our pricing to usage-based for SMBs." The Skill dedup-checks via search, creates ideas/usage-based-pricing-pivot with the exact quote, tags it, and links it from the company page. ## Quick Start Capture this idea to gbrain, preserving my exact words and linking it to the relevant people and companies.

FAQPage Schema
How do I capture ideas into gbrain without losing the original wording?

Use the capture workflow: search gbrain for duplicates, create a page under ideas/ or concepts/ containing the user's exact words verbatim, then tag it and add cross-links. The Skill explicitly forbids paraphrasing because the original phrasing carries the insight.

What is the difference between ideas/ and concepts/ in gbrain?

Captures are filed under ideas/ or concepts/ rather than projects/ or people/. Ideas are novel thoughts, theses, or hunches, while concepts represent frameworks or reusable mental models. Each distinct idea gets its own page.

When should I not capture something to gbrain?

Do not capture operational messages like ok, thanks, or greetings, single-word replies, routine status updates, or information already stored elsewhere in the brain. Over-capturing chit-chat dilutes the knowledge graph.

Why are my captured ideas not showing up in gbrain searches?

Captures become invisible when back-links are skipped. The workflow requires mcp_gbrain_add_link from every mentioned entity (person, company, project) to the new page, plus an idea tag via mcp_gbrain_add_tag, so the graph can surface them.

Can I batch multiple ideas into one gbrain page?

No. The Skill enforces one page per distinct idea because batching unrelated ideas reduces recall and makes cross-linking ambiguous. Run the capture workflow separately for each idea.
