- #954: strip non-spec source/attribution keys from all 39 plugin.json manifests so Claude Code's validator accepts them; metadata preserved in new .claude-plugin/authoring-notes.json sidecars; check_plugin_json.py now hard-fails manifests carrying those keys and sanity-checks the sidecar; CLAUDE.md ClawHub schema section updated to the new rule. - #949: move the c-level-agents plugin out of c-level-advisor/ to a top-level directory so the two marketplace sources no longer overlap; updated marketplace.json source, homepage, descriptions, all cross-references, docs, harness manifest, mirror-tree symlinks/indexes, and rebased the moved files' relative links; domain counters trued up (18 -> 19 domains). - #933: replace dead links to the gitignored maintainer-local megaprompts/ tree with annotated plain-text references (44 files: SKILL.md, READMEs, agents, commands). - #931: DynamoDB on-demand pricing updated to post-Nov-2024 rates ($0.625/M writes, $0.125/M strongly consistent reads). - #969: skill_security_auditor.py and the three dossier scripts reconfigure stdout/stderr to UTF-8 (errors=replace) so legacy Windows codepages no longer crash at print time; PYTHONUTF8=1 documented. - #968: Windows Notes section in INSTALLATION.md + README pointer for the core.symlinks mirror-tree checkout caveat. - #924/#885 residuals: hook commands quote "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}" paths in all plugin hooks.json/settings.json (space-safe roots); removed the stale pre-rename status/review mirror symlinks and index entries left over from the memory-status/memory-review rename.

capture
Brain-dump organizer. Catches an unstructured stream of mixed thoughts, tasks, and ideas and transforms it into a clean four-section actionable system with zero information loss.
What it does
When the user dumps (explicitly with phrases like "brain dump" / "let me get this out of my head", or implicitly by pasting a long unstructured block of mixed ideas), the skill:
- Captures everything (zero loss; trivial items go in)
- Asks at most ONE mid-organization clarifying question — only if a single item is genuinely ambiguous between task and project
- Returns four sections:
- Projects & Ideas — clustered themes with embedded questions/decisions
- Tasks — flat scannable action list
- Connections — real workspace links (Glob/Grep verified — never fabricated)
- How I Can Help — concrete offers with
what + where
- Ends with a directive question: "Which of these should I tackle?"
- Waits for the user's pick before any further action.
When the dump is small (≤5 items, unrelated), the skill drops into a compressed output instead of forcing 4 sections.
Source spec
This skill is a Path-B direct conversion of megaprompts/05-capture-megaprompt.md (maintainer-local draft spec — gitignored, not in the public repo) (PR #657). The megaprompt is the canonical spec; this plugin is the working implementation. Drift between the two is a bug — re-grill with /cs:grill-with-docs if they diverge.

skills/capture/SKILL.md |
The skill itself (Claude reads this when triggered) |
skills/capture/scripts/workspace_inventory.py |
Glob+Grep helper for Section 3 — given a working dir + keyword list, returns a structured inventory of file matches + folder structure. Stdlib-only. |
skills/capture/scripts/dump_classifier.py |
Regex-classify dump lines into task / decision / question / project-component. Heuristic, not authoritative. |
skills/capture/scripts/complexity_estimator.py |
Count items in dump; recommend full 4-section vs compressed output format. |
skills/capture/references/workspace_detection.md |
Context-specific detection tactics (CLI / web / MCP / inaccessible) |
skills/capture/references/voice_preservation.md |
Concrete examples of corporate-speak anti-patterns |
skills/capture/references/complexity_matching.md |
When to compress vs full 4-section, with worked examples |
agents/cs-capture.md |
Capture-organizer persona (no-fabrication, voice-preservation enforcer) |
commands/cs-capture.md |
/cs:capture <dump> slash command for explicit invocation |
