Use when the user asks to read a source and make a note for it, create or find an atomic note, or check whether a note already exists or add to one that does. Triggers on "read <url> and make a note", "make a note for", "create (or find) an atomic note", "do we have notes about X?", "check if we have a note for", "capture this", "put together a note", "distill this", and on a bare URL/PDF/tweet/thread handed over with intent to write it up. Use inside an Obsidian vault or anywhere a vault is…
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
Write a note into the vault from a source the user hands you. One arc, six steps: **open (search,
fetch, ask why) -> read the primary source -> create through sb -> leave it in the inbox -> link
connections -> fold in follow-ups.** "Read this and make a note" means all six; the connect step
won't happen unless this skill runs it.
Two requests take a different path through the same skill. Decide which one you have before Step 1:
| The user wants | Path |
|---|---|
| A source written up as a new note | Steps 1-6 below |
| To know what the vault already holds ("do we have notes on X", "find notes about X") | [Lookup only](#lookup-only-do-we-have-notes-on-x) |
| Something added to a note that already exists ("add this to the X note", "pull up the note for X", or a "yes, extend it" to Step 1) | [Extend an existing note](#extend-an-existing-note) |
Note shape: [references/note-format.md](references/note-format.md). sb commands:
[../obsidian/references/sb-cli.md](../obsidian/references/sb-cli.md).
## Step 0: Locate the vault
```bash
npx @techpickles/sb vault info
npx @techpickles/sb config qmd-collection
```

How to install
mdr add technicalpickles/pickled-claude-plugins/capture@sha256:f3fcefd808bd23c7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.cd5a64e, 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.
