Capture GTD Inbox
Write actionable items into today's daily note inbox at $LIFEWIKI_VAULT/-Daily-Notes/YYYY-MM-DD.md under ## Inbox 📥.
When to use
Use this skill when the user wants to:
- capture a task or next action quickly
- save a reminder for later triage
- collect inbox items during the day without deciding the final project or area yet
Do not use this skill for narrative journaling. Use capture-daily-note for note-style entries.
Vault contract
- Vault root:
$LIFEWIKI_VAULT
- Daily note path:
-Daily-Notes/YYYY-MM-DD.md
- Required target heading:
## Inbox 📥
- Inbox entries are authored content, not dashboard query results
Workflow
- Resolve today's daily note path in
$LIFEWIKI_VAULT/-Daily-Notes/.
- Confirm the file exists. If not, stop and report the missing note.
- Confirm the
## Inbox 📥 heading exists. If not, stop and report the missing heading.
- Convert the captured item into a concise inbox entry.
- Append the entry under
## Inbox 📥.
Formatting rules
- Default to a task checkbox:
- [ ] ...
- Keep the text short and actionable.
- Preserve user-provided dates, links, and project wikilinks when present.
- Do not assign projects, tags, or due dates unless the user explicitly provides them.
- Avoid duplicates when the exact same inbox item is already present nearby.
Failure handling
- If the daily note is missing, stop and report the expected path.
- If the inbox heading is missing, stop and report the required heading.
- If the content is not actionable, either convert it into a neutral inbox item or suggest
capture-daily-note instead.
