braindump

name	braindump
description	Capture raw, unstructured thoughts from Eduardo into the inbox with light classification and frontmatter. Use when [OWNER] says "braindump", "brain dump", "quick capture", "vacía la cabeza", or otherwise signals he wants to dump ideas without organizing them. Does NOT file the note into a final folder — that is the job of process-inbox.

Braindump

Capture raw thoughts fast. The braindump skill is the lowest-friction entry point into the vault: take what [OWNER] says, write it down, classify it just enough to be retrievable later, and stop. Never try to perfect, organize, or move the note out of 00-inbox/quick-capture/.

The cost of capturing badly is near zero. The cost of not capturing because the system felt heavy is everything. Optimize for speed.

Workflow

1. Receive the dump. Take whatever [OWNER] says verbatim. Do not summarize away nuance, do not translate — keep the original language (Spanish or English).
2. Ask at most ONE clarifying question only if the content is ambiguous to the point of being unfileable. Otherwise, just capture.
3. Classify the dump into one of these types:
   • idea — a new concept, business angle, hypothesis
   • task — something to do
   • insight — a realization, lesson, or pattern noticed
   • resource — a link, name, tool, book, or reference to look up
   • person — info about someone (client, lead, collaborator)
4. Generate filename: YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM-<short-kebab-slug>.md using today's date. Slug should be 3-6 words capturing the gist.
5. Write the file to 00-inbox/quick-capture/ with the frontmatter and body below. Use the Write tool.
6. Confirm to Eduardo with: filename, type, and one-line summary. Then stop. Do NOT move it, do NOT link it, do NOT process it.

Rules

• Never file outside 00-inbox/quick-capture/. Filing is process-inbox's job.
• Never delete or condense [OWNER]'s words. Capture-fidelity > tidiness.
• Bilingual: write in whatever language Eduardo used. Don't translate.
• Tags should be specific (#[your-project], #supabase-rls) not generic (#idea, #note).
• If the dump contains 3+ distinct ideas, create 3+ separate files — one idea per note.
• Never block on missing info. Capture what you have.
