foundry-note

Note: Fast Capture Skill

Overview

Skill(foundry:foundry-note) provides a low-friction intake queue for capturing ideas, bugs, and follow-up tasks without disrupting your current workflow. Items are stored for later review and can be promoted to spec tasks.

Core capabilities:

• Quick capture of ideas, bugs, and documentation gaps
• List and review pending intake items
• Dismiss or promote items to spec tasks
• Priority-based organization

When to Use This Skill

Use when:

• User asks to capture an idea or issue
• User wants to review the intake queue
• User wants to dismiss or promote intake items

Autonomous capture (no skill invocation needed): During implementation, proactively add items using MCP directly - do NOT prompt the user.

Flow
