rforge:capture

A command for quickly saving ideas, tasks, or TODOs to the project's `.STATUS` file. It detects the relevant package or project and records details such as priority and time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to capture a new feature, bug, research idea, or other follow-up task, optionally marking its priority.
Why use it?
It prevents small tasks from being forgotten or scattered across notes. It also helps place each task in the right project context.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

rforge:capture scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

/rforge:capture - Quick Task Capture

Quickly capture ideas, tasks, and TODOs with automatic context detection.

What It Does

Uses the rforge_capture MCP tool to:

  • Capture tasks to .STATUS file
  • Auto-detect context (which package)
  • Add metadata (timestamp, status)
  • Trigger doc cascade detection
  • Organize by priority

Usage

# Capture a task
/rforge:capture "Add bootstrap confidence intervals"

# Capture with priority
/rforge:capture "Fix bug #234" --priority high

# Capture idea
/rforge:capture "Research weighted mediation"

Output

Returns confirmation with:

  • Task ID: Unique identifier
  • Location: Which .STATUS file
  • Context: Detected package/project
  • Priority: Auto-assigned or manual
  • Next Steps: Suggested actions

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
