SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Prevents high-value next actions and decisions from getting lost when a work session, brainstorm, or review ends.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-of-session capture protocol: Treats session close as the moment to store actionable outputs in Open Brain rather than relying on memory.
  • ACT NOW item preservation: Captures each ACT NOW item as its own self-contained thought with why it matters and concrete next actions.
  • Session summary recording: Writes one concise summary covering what happened, main themes, and where fuller context lives.
  • Duplicate and noise avoidance: Uses available Open Brain search tools (when present) to skip obvious duplicates and avoids transcript noise, parked/killed items.

Quick Start

Install auto-capture by copying SKILL.md into your AI client’s reusable skills location, then end a short session that produces clear ACT NOW items to verify it saves both the items and the session summary to Open Brain.

Frequently Asked Questions about auto-capture

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically capture next actions when a work session ends?▼

To automatically capture next actions when a session ends, you can use an end-of-session capture protocol that detects conversation closures and stores ACT NOW decisions as structured thoughts in Open Brain.

How do I prevent brainstorm summary loss without relying on manual memory?▼

Preventing brainstorm summary loss requires a session-close trigger that writes concise summaries of main themes and actionable outputs directly into Open Brain, bypassing manual memory.

How does deduplication work when saving session summaries to Open Brain?▼

Deduplication works by using available Open Brain search tools to scan existing thoughts before saving, skipping obvious duplicates and avoiding transcript noise like parked or killed items.

Can I use this capture protocol for Panning for Gold evaluation runs?▼

Yes, you can use this capture protocol for Panning for Gold evaluation runs, as it is designed for work-session wrap-ups and reviews where valuable outputs need long-term persistence.

What do I need to set up before capturing session-level summaries into Open Brain?▼

Before capturing session-level summaries, you need an AI client with a reusable skills location and access to Open Brain capture and search tools like capture_thought and search_thoughts.

Why are my ACT NOW decisions not saving as self-contained thoughts?▼

ACT NOW decisions may not save properly if the session-close trigger fails to detect the conversation ending, preventing each item from capturing its context and concrete next actions individually.
