What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by a5c-ai/babysitter in library/methodologies/cog-second-brain/skills/braindump-capture/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

  • Classify content into personal, professional, and project-specific domains
  • Extract embedded URLs for separate processing
  • Route classified content to appropriate vault directories
  • Tag entries with metadata: date, domain, confidence, topics
  • Maintain strict domain separation (02-personal vs 03-professional)
  • Quality-gated capture with iterative refinement

Tool Use Instructions

  1. Use file-read to load user profile from 00-inbox for classification context
  2. Classify content by domain using natural language analysis
  3. Use file-write to create classified entries in appropriate vault directories
  4. Use file-search to find related existing entries for cross-referencing
  5. Use file-write to add cross-references to new and existing entries
  6. Use git-commit to commit captured content
