What it does
Capture is an agent skill from inbrainfun/inbrain. Save any thought or content into the brain via one CLI command. The single human-facing entrypoint that replaces "putpage vs commit-then-sync vs autopilot-wait" with one command that just works.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
Example prompts
- “putpage vs commit-then-sync vs autopilot-wait”
- “/capture”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5231990. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Capture loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 456 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.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated 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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 456 words (~1,101 tokens).
“When the user wants to save a thought, an article snippet, a transcript fragment, or any text into their brain, run inbrain capture. Don't reach for inbrain put or commit-then-sync — capture is the front door and it handles both…”
