thought-capture

What problem does it solve?

Crucial insights, decisions, and "gotchas" often get lost in conversations or forgotten over time. This skill ensures that valuable knowledge is captured proactively, organized, and seamlessly integrated into a permanent memory system, preventing knowledge loss and rework.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Proactive Insight Capture: Automatically detects architectural decisions, discoveries, gotchas, or blockers in conversation and guides their immediate capture into a staging area.
• Structured Templates: Provides pre-formatted templates for different insight types (decision, discovery, gotcha, insight) to ensure consistent, detailed documentation.
• Consolidation Lifecycle Management: Monitors captured thoughts, provides consolidation reminders (e.g., when thoughts are old or too numerous), and integrates with the session:notes skill for permanent storage.
• Smart Tagging: Guides users in applying appropriate tags (#decision, #gotcha, #auth) to enhance discoverability and knowledge graph integration.
• Use Case: After a critical design meeting, you realize a complex architectural decision has been made. Use this skill to quickly document the decision, its rationale, and trade-offs, ensuring it's not forgotten and can be referenced by future team members.
