Quick Person Note

Append an observation to a person's profile without breaking flow.

Process

1. Parse the input: Extract person name and observation

   • /note lucy plays aggressive chess → name: "lucy", note: "plays aggressive chess"
   • /note about e prefers morning conversations → name: "e", note: "prefers morning conversations"

2. Check if person exists:

   ls ~/.claude-mind/memory/people/{name}/profile.md
   

3. If person doesn't exist: Ask whether to create them first

   • Don't silently create - confirm intent
   • Then use /person {name} flow to create

4. Format the note:

   
   ## YYYY-MM-DD: Brief Title
   
   The observation itself. Keep it concise but capture the texture.
   Context: what prompted this if relevant.
   

5. Append to profile: Use Edit tool to append the formatted note to the end of their profile.md

6. Confirm: Brief acknowledgment that the note was captured

Guidelines

• Atomic observations: One insight per note
• Include context: What prompted noticing this?
• Use today's date: Format as YYYY-MM-DD
• Brief titles: 3-5 words summarizing the observation
• Texture over data: "Plays aggressive sacrificial chess" > "Chess skill: advanced"

Examples

Quick capture:

/note lucy prefers direct communication

→ Appends dated observation to Lucy's profile

With context:

/note e mentioned frustration with verbose AI responses today

→ Captures both the observation and the context

Natural trigger:

"I noticed Cal gets energized by debugging sessions"

→ Prompts to capture as note about Cal
