At a glance
Captures ACT NOW items and one session summary into Open Brain when a work session ends, as a behavioral protocol rather than a background hook.
- Works in 6 steps: Detect that the session is ending. Treat… → Identify the highest-value outputs from… → Before capturing an ACT NOW item, check… → …
- Wrapping up a brainstorm that produced decisions and next actions
- SKILL.md covers Problem, Trigger Conditions, Process and Output, plus 1 more section
- Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
What it does
The skill addresses a familiar loss: high-value decisions and next actions disappear at the end of a session when saving them takes a separate decision. It triggers when you are clearly wrapping up (wrap up, park this, goodnight), when a brainstorm or a Panning for Gold run has produced ACT NOW items, or when the conversation is about to end. It is a cue the agent follows, not a timer, daemon, hook or background service.
For each ACT NOW item, the agent first searches Open Brain for an obvious existing match when a search tool is exposed, then captures the item as its own self-contained thought: the idea in its strongest form, why it matters, two or three concrete next actions and provenance such as a date or source file. One session summary records the topic, how many important items emerged, the main themes and where fuller context lives. Raw transcripts, parked items and duplicates are skipped. If the capture tool fails, the agent says so instead of claiming success.
When your agent uses it
- Wrapping up a brainstorm that produced decisions and next actions
- Parking a project and wanting its key items saved
- Finishing a Panning for Gold run
- Closing a session so its outcomes are findable months later
Example prompts
- “Let's stop here. Capture the ACT NOW items and a session summary to Open Brain.”
- “Park this project for now and save what we decided.”
- “Goodnight. Save today's brainstorm outputs before you go.”
Requirements
- An Open Brain connection that exposes a capture tool, often named capture_thought
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Detect that the session is ending. Treat this as a behavioral cue, not a timer, daemon, hook, or background service.
- Identify the highest-value outputs from the session
- Before capturing an ACT NOW item, check for an obvious existing match in Open Brain using the available search tool if the client exposes…
- Capture each ACT NOW item as its own self-contained thought using the available Open Brain capture tool.
- Capture one session summary that records
- Do not capture low-value noise. Skip
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 238df6c. 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.
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
Auto-Capture to Open Brain loads about 753 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 111 tokens; SKILL.md has 376 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 376 words (~753 tokens).
“High-value decisions and next actions are easy to lose at the end of a session. If capturing them requires a separate decision, they often never make it into Open Brain.”
