Capture — Brain-Dump Organizer

Dump your messy stream of thoughts, tasks and ideas and get back a clean four-section system (Projects/Ideas, Tasks, Connections, How I Can Help) with zero information loss.

What it does

Fires on phrases like "brain dump", "capture this", "let me get this out of my head", or simply when you paste a long unstructured wall of mixed ideas — no confirmation question first.
Produces four sections: Projects & Ideas, Tasks, Connections, How I Can Help, closing with "Which of these should I tackle?".
Core rules: capture everything (no silent dropping of "trivial" items), preserve your voice (no corporate rewrites), and match output size to input — small dumps get a compressed format instead of forced structure.
The Connections section uses Glob/Grep (plus scripts/workspace_inventory.py) against your real workspace and is explicitly forbidden from fabricating links; if no workspace is reachable it says so.
Asks at most one mid-organization clarifier — only when an item is genuinely ambiguous between a task and a multi-step project.

Who it's for

Anyone whose notes, meeting takeaways and half-formed ideas pile up faster than they can organize them.
Founders, PMs, developers, writers, students — stack- and role-agnostic.
Claude Code users who want new ideas cross-referenced against existing files and in-progress projects.

Examples

"Brain dump: redo the landing page, sort out invoices, AI newsletter idea, write onboarding docs, decide whether to raise pricing…" → themed project clusters, a flat task list, real file matches, and concrete offers with output paths.
Paste a raw meeting-notes blob with no trigger phrase → the implicit trigger fires; decisions become Decide: and open questions become Q: inside the relevant project.
Five unrelated one-line tasks → compressed "What I heard / How I can help" output instead of the full four sections.

Try it now, no install

Paste this into Claude to use the skill without installing anything.

Read the instructions in this file and follow them to help me:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills/HEAD/.gemini/skills/capture/SKILL.md

What I want: (describe your task here)

If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.

↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.

Install in the Claude app (no terminal)

Download the ZIP with the button below.
In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.

↓ Download ZIP

Install in Claude Code

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the .gemini/skills/capture folder from the GitHub repo alirezarezvani/claude-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/capture/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills.git /tmp/claude-skills && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/claude-skills/.gemini/skills/capture ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

Open a terminal (Terminal on macOS/Linux, Git Bash or WSL on Windows).
Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills.git
Create the skills directory: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
Copy the skill in: cp -r claude-skills/.gemini/skills/capture ~/.claude/skills/
Verify with ls ~/.claude/skills/capture — you should see SKILL.md plus scripts/ and references/.
Restart Claude Code, then say "brain dump" or paste an unstructured block of thoughts to trigger it.
For the Connections section, launch Claude Code from inside the project folder you want inventoried (the helper scripts need python3).
