Use when designing daily capture, note-taking, or personal-knowledge operations — defines the discipline of when, what, and where to capture. Tool-agnostic; the practice survives tool changes. Default skill for Starlight Second Brain.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Capture Discipline

> *"Lower friction beats higher structure. Every time."*

## When This Skill Activates

- Any capture, note-taking, or personal-knowledge operation
- Keywords: *capture*, *note-taking*, *daily review*, *what to capture*, *second brain*, *PKM*, *personal knowledge management*, *inbox zero for my brain*
- Default for: Starlight Second Brain
- Composes with: memory/vault-management, memory/knowledge-synthesis, creator-productivity

## What This Skill Does

Defines the discipline of daily capture. Tool-agnostic — works with Obsidian, Notion, Apple Notes, Drafts, plain text, voice memos. The skill prescribes *when*, *what*, and *where*, never *which app*. The practice survives tool changes; a tool-specific practice does not survive practice drift.

Capture is the cheapest part of PKM. Routing is where people fail. This skill fixes routing without making capture expensive.

## Core Principles

1. **Friction is the enemy.** If daily capture takes more than 10 minutes, the architecture is wrong. Simplify — fewer fields, fewer decisions, fewer apps.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add frankxai/starlight-intelligence-system/memory/capture-discipline@sha256:575aa9520cdc537c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260505.489390e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
