SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Quick capture of thoughts, observations, or ideas during research sessions. Logs timestamped notes to activity.md. Supports both explicit /note command and natural language like "make a note" or "jot down".

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Rapid note capture without context switching by using /note or natural-language prompts.
  • Timestamped logging to .research/logs/activity.md, enabling daily summaries and retrospective reviews.
  • Seamless session integration: if today's entry exists, notes are appended; if not, a placeholder entry is created for later completion with /wrap_up.

Quick Start

To capture a thought, type /note Your thought here.

Frequently Asked Questions about note

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I capture quick research thoughts during an active session?▼

Capture research thoughts by typing /note followed by your text, or use natural-language prompts like 'make a note' or 'jot down' to log timestamped entries without interrupting your workflow.

How does timestamped note logging work with activity logs?▼

Timestamped note logging appends entries to the .research/logs/activity.md file. If today's date entry exists, notes are appended directly; otherwise, a placeholder entry is created for later completion.

Can I use natural language to jot down observations in experiments and meetings?▼

Yes, you can use natural language like 'make a note' or 'jot down' to log observations across experiments, meetings, and idea-generation moments, ensuring rapid capture without explicit commands.

What's the best way to generate daily summaries from timestamped research logs?▼

Generate daily summaries by integrating the note skill with the /wrap_up command, which completes placeholder entries and compiles the timestamped logs recorded in activity.md throughout the day.

Do I need a specific file structure for research session logging?▼

Yes, research session logging requires the .research/logs/activity.md file structure to store timestamped notes, enabling seamless appending to existing entries and daily retrospective reviews.

Why does my note command create a placeholder instead of appending to today's entry?▼

The note command creates a placeholder when today's entry does not exist in activity.md, ensuring no observations are lost while waiting for the /wrap_up command to complete the daily summary.
