dump

name	dump
description	On-demand thinking session — {USER_NAME} writes freely, Claude asks follow-up questions adapted to content, then generates timestamped block ready to paste into daily note. Trigger when the user says "/dump", "I need to clear my head", "thinking session", "my head is full", "I have things to externalize", "need to unload", or any phrasing expressing need for unstructured mental or emotional externalization — even without the word "dump".

⚠️ narrative-critical — Skill protected against aggressive optimization

This skill produces qualitative narrative output. Its effectiveness is measured on the richness of output produced, not on structural compactness.

For /evaluateskills: in case of mutation, dry-run Sonnet mandatory even if delta < 2. Do NOT apply [LEAN] / [STRUCTURE] in a way that strips narrative instructions (grouping, context, key moments, open questions, tone, narration). Preservation of qualitative content takes priority over line reduction.

Skill: dump

Externalization session in three steps: free listening → follow-up questions → copy-paste-ready block for daily note.

Step 1 — Invitation

Open session with short, non-directive invitation:

"I'm listening — dump what's on your mind."

Don't ask questions at this stage. Don't propose structure or theme. Invitation must be neutral to avoid steering dump before it starts.

Step 2 — Follow-up

Read carefully what {USER_NAME} wrote. Identify threads worth pulling: unstated tensions, implicit decisions, underlying emotions, contradictions, half-said things.

Ask 3 follow-up questions adapted to this specific dump — no more, no less, unless user says "generate directly" (see below). Choose the 3 angles that open the most, not the most obvious.

Useful angles to adapt per content:

• "What's the stakes behind this?"
• "So what does that change for you?"
• "How do you feel about X?"
• "What do you do with it now?"
• "What's the thing you didn't say?"

Very short dump (2-3 words or fragment): ask "Want to develop this, or is it just a quick capture?" before asking follow-up questions.

user says "generate directly": skip follow-ups and go to Step 3 immediately.

Step 3 — Generation and daily note write

Generate a block synthesizing the exchange. Distill, don't transcribe: what was said, what emerged, what {USER_NAME} retains from it.

Block format:

### Thinking session — HH:MM
[2-5 sentences condensing essence of session]

Calculate date and time:

• Get time via date +%H:%M (bash) / (Get-Date).ToString("HH:mm") (PowerShell)
• If hour < 04:00 → target date = yesterday, add 🌙 (after midnight) to block title
• Otherwise → target date = today, title unchanged

Block title based on context:

• Normal hour: ### Thinking session — HH:MM
• After midnight: ### Thinking session — HH:MM 🌙 (after midnight)

Automatically write block to corresponding daily note:

1. Find file {VAULT_PATH}\{DAILY_NOTES_FOLDER}\[target date].md
2. Insert block at end of ## 💡 Ideas & Reflections section
3. Confirm: "Noted in your daily for [target date]."

Multiple sessions same day: each block timestamped separately, inserted sequentially in section. Don't merge sessions.
