SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes friction from capturing ideas, tasks, notes, and seeds by routing each input to the correct destination in the GSD planning system instead of leaving it scattered in chat.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Mode-based routing: Captures content as a structured todo, a zero-friction note, a numbered backlog item, a seeded forward-looking idea with triggers, or an interactive todo browser.
  • Structured planning outputs: Writes todos into .planning/todos/, backlog entries into ROADMAP.md under a 999.x section, and seeds into .planning/seeds/SEED-NNN-slug.md.
  • End-to-end workflow execution: Loads and runs the appropriate workflow end-to-end while preserving the target workflow’s gates (e.g., checks, duplicate detection, and commit behavior).

Quick Start

Use gsd-capture with no flags to add your idea as a structured todo for later work.

FAQPage Schema
How do I capture ideas and tasks into my planning backlog without losing context?

Capturing ideas fast requires routing each input to the correct GSD planning destination. This Skill parses your input and writes structured todos into .planning/todos/ or backlog entries into ROADMAP.md, preventing items from scattering in chat.

What is the best way to organize daily workflow triage and forward-planning tasks?

Daily workflow triage benefits from mode-based routing. You can capture content as a structured todo, a zero-friction note, a numbered backlog item, or a seeded forward-looking idea with triggers, placing each into the appropriate planning directory.

How do I add a new item to my ROADMAP.md backlog using a capture workflow?

To add a backlog item, use the add-backlog routing flag. The workflow executes end-to-end, writing your entry into ROADMAP.md under a 999.x section while preserving workflow gates like duplicate detection and commit rules.

Can I use this capture workflow to store forward-looking ideas with specific triggers?

Yes, you can store forward-looking ideas by using the plant-seed routing flag. This workflow captures your idea and writes it into .planning/seeds/ as a SEED-NNN-slug.md file with appropriate trigger formatting.

Do I need to manually format my notes and todos before capturing them?

No manual formatting is needed. The workflow automatically applies the appropriate formatting based on the routing flag you provide, ensuring your todos, notes, and seeds are structured correctly when written to the planning system.

What happens if I try to capture a duplicate task or note?

The workflow preserves target workflow gates, including duplicate detection. When you capture an item, the system checks for duplicates and follows the appropriate commit behavior to maintain a clean planning backlog.
