Raw Ideas Quick Capture

Capture Protocol

CRITICAL RULES:

1. NEVER ask clarifying questions - just capture verbatim
2. NEVER process or refine - raw capture only
3. ALWAYS scan for related ideas - link to existing content
4. ALWAYS return Obsidian URL - user needs the link
5. ALWAYS commit and push - preserve in git

Steps

1. Create Note

Location: ~/ws/notes/3-Resources/💡 Raw Ideas/ Filename: YYYY-MM-DD-brief-title.md (lowercase, hyphens, 3-5 word slug)

2. Template

---
captured: YYYY-MM-DD
type: raw-idea
status: unprocessed
tags:
  - relevant-tag1
  - relevant-tag2
---

# [Idea Title]

## Raw Idea (captured verbatim)

[User's exact words - do not paraphrase or refine]

## Related Ideas & Context

- [[related-note-1]] - Brief description
- [[related-note-2]] - Brief description

3. Scan for Related Ideas

Search patterns: keywords from the idea, related concepts, similar features.

Common search areas:

• 2-Areas/Everything Backlog/ - Product ideas
• 2-Areas/Everything AI Strategy/ - Strategic ideas
• 1-Projects/ - Active project connections
• 3-Resources/💡 Raw Ideas/ - Other raw ideas

4. Generate Obsidian URL

Format: obsidian://open?vault=80e3750e23d08134&file=3-Resources%2F%F0%9F%92%A1%20Raw%20Ideas%2FFILENAME

Return as: [YYYY-MM-DD-brief-title](obsidian://...)

5. Commit and Push

cd ~/ws/notes
git add "3-Resources/💡 Raw Ideas/YYYY-MM-DD-filename.md"
git commit -m "Add raw idea: [brief description]"
git push
