# Quick-Capture Improvement Idea Save an improvement idea to the backlog for later processing during wrap-up. No routing, no classification — just capture and continue. ## Step 1: Capture the Entry Append to `.claude/improvement-backlog.md` in the current project root. Create the file if it doesn't exist. ### File format: ```markdown # Improvement Backlog ## Captured: {YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM} **Note:** {user's description — what needs improving} **Context:** {what was being done when this was noticed — extract from recent conversation} --- ``` Each new entry is appended after existing entries, separated by `---`. ### What to include in Context: - What task the user was working on when they noticed this - Which file or tool was involved - Any error messages or unexpected behavior - Enough detail so the wrap-up skill can classify it later without the original conversation ### Example entry: ```markdown ## Captured: 2026-03-30 14:22 **Note:** directus-dev plugin missing cache: 'no-store' gotcha in sdk-patterns skill **Context:** Was fetching Directus collections in a Server Component and got stale data. Had to manually add cache: 'no-store' to every fetch call. The directus-dev sdk-patterns skill should document this. --- ``` ## Step 2: Confirm Count the total entries in the backlog file and respond with a single line: > Captured. {N} item(s) in backlog. Run `/wrap-up` to process. Do not ask follow-up questions. Do not classify. Do not route. Return to the user's previous task immediately.
