SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a quick and effortless way to jot down ideas, conversation context, or temporary notes without interrupting your flow. It ensures no valuable thought is lost, making it easy to revisit and organize later, so you can focus on the task at hand.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Rapid Note-Taking: Captures any piece of information from your conversation into a dedicated scratch folder.
  • Automatic Formatting: Generates descriptive filenames and ensures a consistent H1 title for easy identification and future retrieval.
  • Temporary Storage: Stores notes in a scratch/ directory, serving as an inbox for ideas ready for later review and promotion.
  • Use Case: During a brainstorming session, if a new idea sparks, simply tell the AI to "capture this note: [your idea]". The Skill will automatically save it to scratch/ with a proper title, allowing you to focus on the conversation without worrying about forgetting the idea.

Quick Start

To capture a note about a new database pattern:

The skill will prompt for the content and generate a filename.

Example content: "We discussed using a single-writer, multiple-reader pattern for the event log."

This will create a file like './.notes/scratch/database-patterns-event-log.md'

with '# Database patterns event log' as the H1.
