Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/camacho/ai-skills --skill capture
  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads capture automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

Inputs

  • Free-text description of an idea, bug, or feature request

Steps

  1. Parse the description to detect type:

    KeywordsTypeLabels
    error, crash, broken, fix, bug, fails, regressionBugtriage, bug
    add, want, should, new, feature, enhance, improveFeaturetriage, enhancement
    DefaultFeaturetriage, enhancement
  2. Create GitHub Issue:

    gh issue create \
      --title "<concise title from description>" \
      --body "<full description>" \
      --label "triage" --label "<bug or enhancement>"
    
  3. Return the issue number and URL.

Fallback

If gh is not available or GitHub access fails:

  1. Try GitHub MCP tools (if available)
  2. If neither works → append to ai-workspace/scratchpad.md:
    ## Captured [date]
    **Type**: [bug/feature]
    **Description**: [text]
    _Failed to create GitHub Issue — saved here as fallback._
    
    Inform the user that the capture was saved locally.

Edge Cases

  • No description provided → ask the user to describe the idea/bug
  • Offline / no GitHub access → scratchpad fallback (see above)
