Quick Capture

Capture anything into the LifeOS with zero friction. The point is to get it out of the owner's head and into the system, then sort later.

Steps

1. Read 06_Trackers/inbox.md — if it doesn't exist yet (fresh instance ships only templates), create it from 06_Trackers/inbox.template.md first.
2. Append the captured item as a bullet with a timestamp: - [YYYY-MM-DD] <text>.
3. If it's obviously a task, a routine, a reminder, or a someday-item, say so in one line and offer to file it directly. This skill writes vault files; it does not update existing browser tasks/habits. Explain that boundary if the owner expects the dashboard to change (see docs/browser-data.md):
   • Task → 06_Trackers/tasks.md (with priority + area code from dashboard/lifeos.config.json; create the file from its template if missing)
   • Recurring → 06_Trackers/habits.md
   • Date-bound → 06_Trackers/reminders.md
   • Someday → the relevant 02_Areas/ note (or a dedicated someday file)
4. Do not overwrite existing entries — always append.
5. Keep the reply to one or two lines. Don't turn a capture into a planning session.

Rules

• Capture the owner's stated priority without automatically parking it until a mission gate. Offer a parking-lot label only if they ask for focus support or choose it themselves.
• When tagging an area, use only the area codes defined in dashboard/lifeos.config.json (fall back to the .example config if it doesn't exist).
