Use during /research, /scope (or any recipe) to write or update a vault note via dossier-mcp. Agent drafts slug + frontmatter + body + citations, writes the note, and surfaces what was captured so the user can redirect afterward. Supports create (new note) and update (refine existing note) modes.
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 to Vault
Draft a note and write it. Surface the slug and any non-obvious placement decisions afterward so the user can redirect or revise. Do not wait for approval before writing. One note per call.
## Modes
- **create** (default) — write a new vault note via `mcp__dossier-mcp__create_note`.
- **update** — refine an existing note in place via `mcp__dossier-mcp__update_note`. Preserves required frontmatter and auto-bumps the `updated:` field.
## Input
- `mode` (optional) — `create` (default) or `update`.
- `body` — the finding, decision, or synthesis. Markdown. Lead with the conclusion or key takeaway. In update mode, this represents the intended new state of the body (or a description sufficient to derive it from the loaded current state).
- `slug` (required for update mode) — the existing note's slug.
- `related` (optional) — vault slugs the note references. If absent, infer from body content and recent session context.
- `citations` (optional) — list of `{title, url, accessed}` entries from web-researcher findings. Include whenever the body draws on web sources.

How to install
mdr add ethanaubuchon/dossier-tradecraft/capture-to-vault@sha256:14d31cbb1d4e84faThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260503.21e93ab, 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.
