capture
Use whenever the user unloads a messy brain dump of ideas, tasks and plans ('capture this', 'brain dump', a long unstructured paste) and wants it organized. Sorts it with dump_classifier.py into projects, tasks and connections with nothing lost.
Why this skill is useful
Provides a structured framework for organizing chaotic thoughts and tasks that the AI wouldn't generate on its own.

What this skill does
Capture — Brain-Dump Organizer A fast-to-action skill for transforming unstructured streams of mixed thoughts, tasks, and ideas into a clean four-section actionable system with zero information loss. Invocation Triggers Explicit phrases (any of): "brain dump" "capture this" "let me dump some ideas" "I've got a bunch of thoughts" "here's everything on my mind" "idea dump" "let me just get this out of my head" "I need to organize my thoughts" "here's what I'm thinking" Implicit signals (no phrase, but the intent is unmistakable): User pastes or dictates a long unstructured block of mixed ideas, tasks, plans Multiple unrelated thoughts in one message without organizing framing A wall of bullet-y text covering 3+ unrelated topics When you detect an implicit trigger, run the skill. Do NOT ask "do you want me to organize this?" first — the dump itself IS the request. Operating Principles (All Five Apply Always) 1. Capture everything. Zero loss. Trivial items go in; the user prunes later. Never silently drop something because it "seemed unimportant". 2. Preserve voice. If the user said "build something crazy with AI", do NOT restate as "Explore innovative AI-driven solutions." Keep the energy and the casual register. See references/voicepreservation.md for concrete anti-patterns. 3. Match output complexity to input. A 5-task dump does NOT get forced into 4 elaborate sections. See references/complexitymatching.md and the Compressed Output Pattern below. 4. Be honest about ambiguity. If you're unsure what something means, flag it. Don't guess silently. 5. No action without approval. The ONLY immediate action is the organization itself. Every offer in Section 4 waits for the user's explicit pick. Grill-Me Mid-Organization Clarifier Capture is fast-to-action by design. No upfront intake. The dump is enough — start organizing immediately. …
