awesome-second-brain: Command for Claude Code

.claude/commands/capture/quick-dump.md

quick-dump is a command for Claude Code from superuser-pal/awesome-second-brain. It costs 33 tokens per session (741 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for sorting a free-form work dump—such as decisions, incidents, achievements, or ideas—into the appropriate notes. It can also identify when the dump contains several separate topics.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to turn conversations, updates, thoughts, and other raw text into organized notes in a knowledge vault.
Why use it?
It removes the need to decide where each piece of information belongs or create note links by hand. It also helps avoid duplicate notes by checking for related pages first.

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

quick-dump 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 2mo ago.

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.

Quick Dump

Process the following freeform dump.

Usage

/quick-dump <content>

Routing note: This command is for high-confidence routing. It bypasses the three-stage inbox pipeline and routes directly to final destinations (domains, work pages, or thinking notes).

For each distinct piece of information:

  1. Classify it: decision, incident, 1-on-1 content, win/achievement, architecture, project update, person context, or general work note.

  2. Check for split-worthy content — If the dump covers 3+ independently page-worthy topics (each self-contained and useful on its own), offer to split before routing:

    This dump covers [N] independent topics:
      1. [Topic A] → suggested page: `topic-a.md`
      2. [Topic B] → suggested page: `topic-b.md`
    Split into separate pages, or route as one?
    

    Only split if topics are genuinely separable — not if they build on each other.

  3. Search first: Use qmd semantic search (or obsidian search) to check if a related page already exists. Prefer appending to existing pages over creating new ones for small updates.

  4. Preserve original source — When creating a new page, include the verbatim raw input in a collapsible callout at the bottom:

    > [!quote]- Original Source
    > [raw input exactly as provided, no formatting changes]
    
  5. Create or update the appropriate page following CLAUDE.md conventions:

    • Correct folder placement: domains/[Name]/02_PAGES/ or work/04_PAGES/ → becomes a page; thinking/ → remains a note with status: thinking
    • Full YAML frontmatter with date, description, tags, and type-specific fields
    • All relevant [[wikilinks]] to people, projects, teams, competencies
  6. Update indexes as needed (work/INDEX.md, work/05_REVIEW/WINS.md, work/06_ORG/PEOPLE.md)

  7. Cross-link: Ensure every new page links to at least one existing page or note and is linked FROM at least one existing page.

  8. Cascade updates — After the primary page is placed, enrich related existing pages:

    • Use qmd to find 3-5 most related existing pages.
    • For each related page: wikilink additions, content appends (on confirmation), or contradiction flags.

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.
