SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill prevents tangential thoughts from derailing active work by capturing them as discrete sidenotes and preserving them until the team is ready to act.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured capture: Recognize sidenote:, /sidenote, and /sidenotes commands, write the note to docs/sidenotes with sequential SN-NNNN IDs, and confirm creation before saying another word.
  • Backlog management: Support list, show, verify, convert, tackle, and dismiss commands so pending notes can be reviewed, converted, or removed without guesswork.
  • Conversion orchestration: Follow documented patterns and load the appropriate ce:brainstorm, ce:plan, ce:work, or todo-create skill while updating notes with conversion metadata.

Quick Start

Use the sidenote: command to capture tangents before continuing the main task.
