/idea - Quick Idea Capture

Captures an idea instantly to BrainStorm's knowledge graph Inbox. Works from any agent — no need to switch to BrainStorm first. BrainStorm processes the Inbox on its next startup and connects it to the graph.

Usage

/idea Build a CLI that logs what you worked on each day
/idea What if Arsenal.yaml had a "recommended by" field per tool?
/idea Comparison GIF — raw Claude Code vs AutoMates side by side

Instructions

Step 1: Get the Idea

The user's arguments after /idea are the idea content. If no arguments were provided, ask: "What's the idea?"

Step 2: Generate Metadata

• Date: today's date in YYYY-MM-DD format
• Slug: kebab-case from the first ~5 words (e.g., cli-daily-work-logger)
• Source agent: whichever agent is currently active (check the conversation context), or "direct" if no agent is active
• Tags: generate 2-4 relevant tags from the content

Step 3: Write to Inbox

Write the idea to AgenTeam/BrainStorm/Memory_Logs/MindMap/Inbox/{slug}.md:

---
date: YYYY-MM-DD
source: [agent name or "direct"]
type: idea
tags: [tag1, tag2, tag3]
---

# [Idea title — clean, concise version of the user's words]

[The full idea text as the user wrote it. Add nothing, remove nothing.]

If a file with the same slug already exists, append a number (e.g., cli-daily-work-logger-2.md).

Step 4: Confirm

Report back briefly:

Idea captured → BrainStorm/MindMap/Inbox/{slug}.md
Tags: #tag1 #tag2 #tag3
BrainStorm will connect it to the graph next session.

Rules

• Never switch agents. This skill works inline — the current agent stays active.
• Never edit the idea. Capture the user's exact words. Don't improve, rewrite, or expand.
• Keep it fast. This is a 5-second operation, not a brainstorm session. No follow-up questions beyond "what's the idea?" if arguments are missing.
• The Inbox is a drop zone. BrainStorm owns processing (categorizing, connecting, indexing). This skill just captures.
