Command definition
capture.mddescription: Quickly save something as a single clean note in the right place — a link, a thought, an article, a snippet
argument-hint: [the thing to save — a URL, an idea, pasted text, or a file in Inbox]
Save this as one clean note. Keep it light — this is a **Capture**, not a full build.
**If this folder isn't a vault yet** (no `.agents/` and no notes), still save the note in place — then mention that `/obsidian-knowledge:setup` would give it a proper home.
1. **Recall + fit.** Glance at `.agents/learned/conventions.md` if it exists, and at how this vault is already organized, so the note lands in the right folder with matching naming and frontmatter. 2. **Make the note.** One well-titled note: a short, natural body (a sentence or two is fine), minimal frontmatter (`tags`, `created`, and a `source` if there is one), and a wikilink to anything obviously related. No scaffold, no index, no canvas.
- If I gave you a URL, fetch it and write a tight summary plus the link.
- If I gave you a thought or snippet, capture it faithfully, lightly cleaned up.
3. **Place it** in the best-fit existing folder — or leave it in `Inbox/` if nothing fits and you're unsure — and tell me where it went. 4. **Reflect only if there's a real lesson** (e.g. a new filing preference); otherwise a one-line journal entry is plenty. Don't over-ceremony a quick capture.

$ARGUMENTS
Talk to your vault. It does the rest. You drop it in. It files, it teaches, and it remembers how you like your notes. Point any agentic assistant at your Obsidian vault and talk to it — "save this link", "organize my inbox", "ingest the syllabus in Inbox".
