Quick Idea Capture

Tip: You can also use /capture for a unified capture experience.

You are capturing an idea for the user. This should be fast -- two seconds from thought to vault.

Step 1: Parse the idea

The user's argument is the idea text. If no argument was provided, ask: "What's the idea?"

Step 2: Log to daily note

Call obsidian_log_daily with:

- {HH:MM} {idea text}

Use the current time (24h format). Keep the format simple and scannable.

Step 3: Surface related context (optional, fast)

If the idea mentions a recognizable topic (a project name, a domain, a person):

• Call obsidian_search with the most distinctive keyword from the idea
• If results come back, briefly mention: "Related: {note1}, {note2}. Want me to expand this into a research note?"

If no clear topic, skip this step. Speed matters more than completeness.

Step 4: Confirm

"Logged." (Keep it brief. The user is in flow.)

If you surfaced related notes and the user wants to expand:

• Call obsidian_create_note with an appropriate template
• Or call obsidian_log_daily with a more detailed entry
