--- name: capture-0c8b9c2e4b61 description: > Save a memory to Origin in flow. Active capture verb — use proactively when the user states a preference, makes a decision, corrects you, or shares a durable fact. Invoked as `/capture `. argument-hint: "" allowed-tools: ["mcp__plugin_origin_origin__capture", "mcp__plugin_origin_origin__recall", "mcp__plugin_origin_origin__create_entity", "mcp__plugin_origin_origin__create_relation", "mcp__plugin_origin_origin__accept_revision", "mcp__plugin_origin_origin__dismiss_revision", "Bash"] --- # /capture Capture a single memory in the moment. Active verb: agent captures the moment of insight, like a photograph. ## How to invoke Call the `origin` MCP server's `capture` tool with the user's content as a complete, self-contained statement. Attach `topic` from cwd or the conversation — don't make the user type it. ``` capture(content="", memory_type="", entity="", space=) ``` ### `memory_type` — agent picks one of 6 The daemon classifies when a local model or API key is configured. In local memory mode it does not, so the agent picks the type from the content itself. Use this mapping: | Type | Use for | |---|---| | `identity` | Durable facts about the user (role, company, language preference) | | `preference` | "I prefer X because Y" — a habit, a correction, a stylistic choice | | `decision` | "Going with A over B because C" — a specific choice with rationale | | `lesson` | Root cause found, workaround discovered, technical insight earned | | `gotcha` | Sharp edge, surprising behavior, a thing to watch out for | | `fact` | Durable info about people, projects, tools — anchor to `entity` when possible | If two types fit, pick the one closest to *why the memory matters*. A decision *also* implies a preference, but `decision` is more specific. ### `entity` — extract the anchor Pick the single most important named thing in the content: a person, project, tool, place. Use the exact name. Example: "Alice prefers TDD because…" → `entity="Alice"`. If the content has no named anchor, omit `entity`. ### `topic` / `space` inference - cwd inside a repo → repo name (e.g. `~/Repos/origin/...` → `"origin"`). - Outside any repo → most recent topic from the conversation, or omit. - Always pass `space` when scope is known; if uncertain, run `list_spaces` later (post-PR-C) or omit. ### Multiple entities or relations The MCP `capture` tool takes a single primary `entity`. For additional entities or relations, use the dedicated MCP tools. If the content names more than one entity, capture the memory first, then for each additional entity: ``` create_entity(name="", entity_type="") ``` For a relation between two entities: ``` create_relation(from_entity="", to_entity="", relation_type="") ``` Skip these calls when the daemon has an LLM — its post-ingest enrichment covers extraction. ## What to capture - Decisions: "Going with approach A because B" - Preferences: "Prefers TDD because catches regressions early" - Corrections: "Actually it's C, not D" - Identity / project facts: "Works on Origin, a local memory daemon for AI tools" ## What NOT to capture - System prompts, boot logs, heartbeats - Transient task state ("currently working on...") - Tool output, command results, architecture dumps - Single-word acknowledgments - Things the user can trivially re-derive (file paths, recent git history) ## Atomic ideas One capture = one idea. "Prefers TDD" and "Uses pytest" are two captures, not one. ## When to use - User explicitly says "remember this", "save that", "capture this". - User states a durable preference / decision / correction proactively (no ask required — that's the floor, not the trigger). ## When NOT to use - End of session bulk store → use `/handoff` (multi-item batch). - Pulling memories back out → use `/recall`. ## Post-capture contradiction signal After `capture` returns, check `response.triggered_revisions` and `response.auto_superseded`. ### auto_superseded (no action needed) If `auto_superseded` is non-empty, the daemon already resolved the contradiction. Surface it as informational: ``` Note: auto-superseded mem_X. Origin replaced a prior protected memory because trust=high and similarity > 0.9. No action needed. ``` No accept/dismiss call required. The revision was applied automatically. ### triggered_revisions (human review needed) If `triggered_revisions` is non-empty (and `auto_superseded` is empty), render an inline block to the user: ``` Stored mem_new. This capture topic-matches a protected memory now flagged for revision: - mem_target_abc Action: accept (replace original content) | dismiss (drop the revision) | leave (decide later) ``` Inline verb map: - accept: `accept_revision(target_source_id="mem_target_abc")` - dismiss: `dismiss_revision(target_source_id="mem_target_abc")` - leave: no call; surfaces again in next `/brief` Both fields can technically be non-empty in a single response (multiple protected matches), but in practice only one fires per capture: `auto_superseded` fires when trust=full and similarity > 0.9, `triggered_revisions` fires otherwise. If neither field is non-empty, the capture stored cleanly with no conflicts. --- Source attribution: davepoon Original project: https://github.com/davepoon/buildwithclaude/blob/a1103092fa571c032ae3e706433505ce0d6327bc/plugins/origin/skills/capture/SKILL.md License: MIT License information: https://opensource.org/license/mit Original upstream instructions; downloaded from Dave AI. ## Upstream license notice MIT License Copyright (c) 2025 davepoon Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
