kb-capture

What problem does it solve?

Users often lose valuable insights from conversations, web sources, or synthesized ideas because they lack a consistent way to capture them into a structured knowledge base with proper metadata.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Automatic KB path resolution: Detects the knowledge base location from CLAUDE.md or defaults to a standard directory.
• Intelligent note classification: Determines whether the content should be a source, concept, report, or question and places it in the appropriate wiki bucket.
• Slug generation and collision handling: Creates unique, readable filenames based on title heuristics.
• Frontmatter creation: Writes complete YAML frontmatter with ID, type, title, summary, topics, sources, status, and timestamps.
• Template‑driven body drafting: Populates notes using predefined markdown templates for each note type.
• Validation workflow: Runs just lint and just refresh to ensure the note passes linting and is indexed correctly.
• Reporting: Provides the user with the note ID, path, lint outcome, refresh result, and a concise capture summary.

Typical scenario: A researcher finishes a meeting and runs /kb-capture to instantly turn the discussion into a structured report note that is searchable across their personal wiki.

Quick Start

Run /kb-capture to save the current conversation as a draft report in your personal knowledge base.
