  • Classify content into personal, professional, and project-specific domains
  • Extract embedded URLs for separate processing
  • Route classified content to appropriate vault directories
  • Tag entries with metadata: date, domain, confidence, topics
  • Maintain strict domain separation (02-personal vs 03-professional)
  • Quality-gated capture with iterative refinement

Tool Use Instructions

1. Use `file-read` to load user profile from 00-inbox for classification context 2. Classify content by domain using natural language analysis 3. Use `file-write` to create classified entries in appropriate vault directories 4. Use `file-search` to find related existing entries for cross-referencing 5. Use `file-write` to add cross-references to new and existing entries 6. Use `git-commit` to commit captured content
