name	take-note
description	Capture notes, learnings, and context into ChromaDB for long-term memory. Use when saving something to remember, recording a discovery or decision, storing context for future sessions, or building the knowledge base.

Take Note Skill

Quickly capture notes, learnings, observations, and context. Builds a searchable knowledge base over time.

Requirements

pip install chromadb

Usage

Capture a quick note

python3 {baseDir}/note.py "Learned that Flux models respond better to natural language prompts"

Auto-generates ID with timestamp: note-2026-02-10-213045-abc123

Add note with category/tags

python3 {baseDir}/note.py "User prefers dark fantasy aesthetics with purple and green color schemes" \
  --category user-preferences \
  --tags "color,style,fantasy"

Add note with custom ID

python3 {baseDir}/note.py "Important discovery about training parameters" \
  --id important-training-discovery

Search notes

python3 {baseDir}/note.py --search "training parameters" --limit 5

List recent notes

python3 {baseDir}/note.py --list [--limit 10]

What Gets Stored

Each note includes:

• Content: Your note text (embedded for semantic search)
• ID: Auto-generated note-YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS-hash or custom
• Timestamp: ISO 8601 timestamp
• Category: Optional category for filtering (default: "general")
• Tags: Comma-separated tags for filtering
• Source: "agent" to distinguish from imported notes

Categories

Suggested categories (use what makes sense):

• learning — Technical discoveries, how-tos
• user-preferences — User likes/dislikes, style preferences
• context — Background info, project context
• decision — Decisions made and why
• idea — Ideas for future exploration
• observation — Patterns noticed over time
• general — Default for uncategorized notes

Environment Variables

• CHROMADB_HOST: ChromaDB server host (default: localhost)
• CHROMADB_PORT: ChromaDB server port (default: 8000)

Examples

# Quick learning capture
python3 {baseDir}/note.py "The scratching LoRA works best at weight 0.8-1.0 for sketch effects"

# User preference with tags
python3 {baseDir}/note.py "User avoids overly bright colors, prefers muted/dark palettes" \
  --category user-preferences \
  --tags "color,palette,style"

# Technical decision with category
python3 {baseDir}/note.py "Switched to cosine scheduler for all future training - smoother results" \
  --category decision \
  --tags "training,scheduler"

# Search for relevant context
python3 {baseDir}/note.py --search "user color preferences"

# List recent notes
python3 {baseDir}/note.py --list --limit 5

Integration with Other Skills

• Notes are stored in ChromaDB notes collection alongside any imported data
• Use chromadb skill for advanced semantic search
• Notes can inform image generation, content creation, and decision-making over time
