- description
- Capture or update an idea, append an update log, and write a session summary for later retrieval.
Idea Capture
Use this skill when the user wants to save or update an idea/project discussion.
Storage
- Main idea doc:
ideas/<idea-id>.md - Session summaries:
ideas/summaries/<idea-id>/<timestamp>.md - Human index:
ideas/INDEX.md - Machine catalog:
ideas/catalog.json
Inputs
Provide what you have:
titlesummarynotestagsmode:create|update|auto- optional
idea_id - optional
source - optional open questions / next steps
Matching rules
update: require an existing matchauto: preferidea_id, then normalized title/slug, else create- avoid duplicate idea files when a clear match exists
Behavior
Use scripts/idea_capture.py for the write/update work.
Example:
python3 skills/idea-capture/scripts/idea_capture.py \
--title "Desktop Pet OpenClaw" \
--summary "Turn OpenClaw into a desktop pet assistant" \
--notes "Need create/update/session-summary support." \
--tags ai,desktop,agent \
--mode auto \
--source qqbotExpected result
Report:
- idea id
- created vs updated
- changed files
- session summary path
Guardrails
- Keep the main idea doc readable.
- Preserve update history.
- Put chronology in update logs / session summaries, not in long repeated prose.
