captureSave a memory to Origin in flow. An agent skill from davepoon/buildwithclaude.
Capture is an agent skill from davepoon/buildwithclaude. Save a memory to Origin in flow. Active capture verb — use proactively when the user states a preference, makes a decision, corrects you, or shares a durable fact. Invoked as /capture <content.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: A single hub to find Claude Skills, Agents, Commands, Hooks, Plugins, and Marketplace collections to extend Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Agent SDK and OpenClaw. The licence is MIT.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 10bfc43. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
mcp__plugin_origin_origin__capturemcp__plugin_origin_origin__recallmcp__plugin_origin_origin__create_entitymcp__plugin_origin_origin__create_relationmcp__plugin_origin_origin__accept_revisionmcp__plugin_origin_origin__dismiss_revisionBashFrom allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Capture loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 568 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
allowed-tools: mcp__plugin_origin_origin__capture, mcp__plugin_origin_origin__recall, mcp__plugin_origin_origin__crAutomated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

.claude/skills/capture/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).Capture a single memory in the moment. Active verb: agent captures the moment of insight, like a photograph.
Call the origin MCP server's capture tool with the user's content as a
complete, self-contained statement. Attach topic from cwd or the
conversation — don't make the user type it.
capture(content="<args, written as a full sentence with WHY>",
memory_type="<picked from the 6 types>",
entity="<primary entity name, if any>",
space=<inferred>)memory_type — agent picks one of 6The daemon classifies when a local model or API key is configured. In local memory mode it does not, so the agent picks the type from the content itself. Use this mapping:
| Type | Use for |
|---|---|
identity | Durable facts about the user (role, company, language preference) |
preference | "I prefer X because Y" — a habit, a correction, a stylistic choice |
decision | "Going with A over B because C" — a specific choice with rationale |
lesson | Root cause found, workaround discovered, technical insight earned |
gotcha | Sharp edge, surprising behavior, a thing to watch out for |
fact | Durable info about people, projects, tools — anchor to entity when possible |
If two types fit, pick the one closest to why the memory matters. A
decision also implies a preference, but decision is more specific.
entity — extract the anchorPick the single most important named thing in the content: a person,
project, tool, place. Use the exact name. Example: "Alice prefers TDD
because…" → entity="Alice". If the content has no named anchor,
omit entity.
topic / space inference~/Repos/origin/... → "origin").space when scope is known; if uncertain, run list_spaces
later (post-PR-C) or omit.The MCP capture tool takes a single primary entity. For additional
entities or relations, use the dedicated MCP tools. If the content
names more than one entity, capture the memory first, then for each
additional entity:
create_entity(name="<entity>", entity_type="<person|project|tool|place>")For a relation between two entities:
create_relation(from_entity="<a>", to_entity="<b>", relation_type="<verb>")Skip these calls when the daemon has an LLM — its post-ingest enrichment covers extraction.
One capture = one idea. "Prefers TDD" and "Uses pytest" are two captures, not one.
/handoff (multi-item batch)./recall.After capture returns, check response.triggered_revisions and response.auto_superseded.
If auto_superseded is non-empty, the daemon already resolved the contradiction. Surface it as informational:
Note: auto-superseded mem_X. Origin replaced a prior protected memory because
trust=high and similarity > 0.9. No action needed.No accept/dismiss call required. The revision was applied automatically.
If triggered_revisions is non-empty (and auto_superseded is empty), render an inline block to the user:
Stored mem_new.
This capture topic-matches a protected memory now flagged for revision:
- mem_target_abc
Action: accept (replace original content) | dismiss (drop the revision) | leave (decide later)Inline verb map:
accept_revision(target_source_id="mem_target_abc")dismiss_revision(target_source_id="mem_target_abc")/briefBoth fields can technically be non-empty in a single response (multiple protected matches), but in practice only one fires per capture: auto_superseded fires when trust=full and similarity > 0.9, triggered_revisions fires otherwise.
If neither field is non-empty, the capture stored cleanly with no conflicts.

Save a memory to Origin in flow. An agent skill from davepoon/buildwithclaude. Capture is an agent skill from davepoon/buildwithclaude. Save a memory to Origin in flow.
Capture fits situations like: states a preference; makes a decision; shares a durable fact.
Run `npx skills add davepoon/buildwithclaude --skill capture -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/origin/skills/capture in davepoon/buildwithclaude) into .claude/skills/capture in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add davepoon/buildwithclaude --skill capture -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/origin/skills/capture in davepoon/buildwithclaude) into .agents/skills/capture in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add davepoon/buildwithclaude --skill capture -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/capture, .gemini/skills/capture, .github/skills/capture and .opencode/skills/capture in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Capture is instructions for the agent only. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: mcp__plugin_origin_origin__capture, mcp__plugin_origin_origin__recall, mcp__plugin_origin_origin__create_entity, mcp__plugin_origin_origin__create_relation, mcp__plugin_origin_origin__accept_revision, mcp__plugin_origin_origin__dismiss_revision, Bash.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Capture is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Capture: Capture (alirezarezvani/claude-skills, 28k stars), Context Save (garrytan/gstack, 136k stars), Latchshot Page Capture (github/awesome-copilot, 40k stars) and Modeling Activation Metrics (PostHog/posthog, 40k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
