description	Manually capture and save a plan to Obsidian vault when the ExitPlanMode hook didn't fire

When to Use

You selected "Tell Claude what to change" in plan mode, and the plan was NOT automatically saved to your Obsidian vault. This skill replays the capture-plan.sh hook to save it manually.

How It Works

1. Resolves the plan file path (uses your current session's plan file from context, or finds the most recent .md in ~/.claude/plans/)
2. Pipes a crafted JSON payload to ~/.claude/hooks/capture-plan.sh to trigger the same vault-save logic
3. Reports success from the hook's debug log

What Happens

Running this skill will:

• Extract the plan title and generate a slug
• Create a note in your Obsidian vault at Projects/Engineering/Plans/<MM-DD-YYYY>-<slug>.md
• Append an entry to your daily journal
• Add or merge tags on the daily note

Usage

Simply invoke the skill:

/capture-plan

Or pass the plan file path explicitly:

/capture-plan path=/path/to/plan/file.md

If no path is provided, the script finds the most recently modified .md file in ~/.claude/plans/.

Debug

If the plan isn't appearing in your vault, check:

• Your Obsidian vault is accessible at the path stored in obsidian vault info=path
• The plan file exists and has at least 20 characters of content
• Check /tmp/capture-plan-debug.log for error details
