Palette Capture Signals Skill

When to use this skill

Only call the palette_share_update tool when the user explicitly asks. Examples:

• "capture this"
• "log this update"
• "share this with Palette"
• Running /palette:capture

Never call palette_share_update proactively. The user must initiate every share.

How to share an update

1. Take the user's message verbatim — do not summarize, extract, or rewrite it.
2. Call the palette_share_update tool from the Palette MCP server:
   • Input: { message: "<user's message verbatim>" }
   • Returns: { accepted: boolean }
3. If accepted is true, confirm to the user that the update was submitted to Palette. Note that submission does not guarantee a signal is created — Palette's processing decides what becomes a signal.
4. If accepted is false (or the call fails), let the user know the update wasn't submitted and suggest they try again.

Important

• Pass the message exactly as the user wrote it — Palette handles all parsing
• Do not batch or queue updates — submit immediately when asked
• Do not modify, summarize, or enrich the message before sending
• Submitting is not the same as a signal being created; don't promise a signal
