Learn Capture

SkillDev tools

Extract 1–5 atomic facts from pasted text and save them as spaced-repetition cards in workspace/learning/facts/ with SM-2 frontmatter. Use when the user says "capture this", "save fact", "learn this", "memorize this", or pastes content they want to retain.

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by evolution-foundation/evo-nexus in .claude/skills/learn-capture/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Extracts atomic facts from user-provided text and saves them as SM-2 flashcard files in workspace/learning/facts/.

Trigger

User pastes text (article, note, transcript excerpt) and wants to retain key facts for later review. Does NOT fetch URLs automatically. If the user provides a URL, ask them to paste the text content instead (v0 policy — no network dependency).

Workflow

Step 1 — Receive input

Ask the user (if not already provided):

  • The text to capture (paste directly)
  • Optional: deck name (default: infer from content or use general)
  • Optional: source URL or description (default: manual)

If the user provides a URL only, respond:

"Por favor, cole o texto do artigo diretamente aqui. A skill não faz fetch automático de URLs para evitar problemas de paywall e dependência de rede."

Step 2 — Extract facts

Read the pasted text carefully. Extract 1 to 5 atomic facts — each fact must be:

  • Atomic: one idea per fact, not a summary paragraph
  • Memorable: something worth reviewing in 1–30 days
  • Retrievable: can be turned into a self-test question

Do NOT extract:

  • Opinions without evidence
  • Context that depends on reading the full article
  • Facts already trivially known (e.g., "Python is a programming language")

Step 3 — Generate file content for each fact

For each fact, produce content in this exact format:

---
id: {YYYY-MM-DD}-{slug}
source: {source_url_or_"manual"}
deck: {deck_name}
created: {YYYY-MM-DD}
next_review: {YYYY-MM-DD+1 day}
interval: 1
ease: 2.5
reps: 0
lapses: 0
---

**Fact:** {The atomic fact stated directly, in pt-BR.}

**Why it matters:** {One sentence on why Davidson should remember this, in pt-BR.}

**Retrieval Q:** {A question whose answer is the fact above, in pt-BR.}

Slug rules:

  • Kebab-case of the main topic of the fact
  • Max 40 characters
  • No accents, special characters, or spaces
  • Example: claude-skills-sao-arquivos-markdown

If slug collision (same date + same slug): append -2, -3, etc.

Dates (use today's actual date):

  • created: today in YYYY-MM-DD
  • next_review: tomorrow in YYYY-MM-DD (today + 1 day)

Language: fact content (Fact, Why it matters, Retrieval Q) must be in pt-BR by default (workspace.language = pt-BR), regardless of the source language.

Step 4 — Save files

For each fact:

  1. Create workspace/learning/facts/ directory if it does not exist
  2. Write the file to workspace/learning/facts/{YYYY-MM-DD}-{slug}.md
  3. Confirm success with the file path

Step 5 — Report

After saving all files, output a summary:

✅ {N} fato(s) capturado(s) no deck "{deck}":
- workspace/learning/facts/{filename1}.md → {first 5 words of Retrieval Q}...
- workspace/learning/facts/{filename2}.md → ...

Constraints

  • Max 5 facts per capture session. If the text warrants more, tell the user to split it into multiple runs.
  • Do NOT create or modify any file outside workspace/learning/facts/.
  • Do NOT touch review-log.jsonl or any existing fact file.
  • Do NOT fetch URLs — ask user to paste text.
  • All 9 frontmatter fields must be present: id, source, deck, created, next_review, interval, ease, reps, lapses.
  • interval=1, ease=2.5, reps=0, lapses=0 are always the initial values.
