moradin-capture

moradin-capture is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from CloseTheLoops/moradin. It costs 30 tokens per session (587 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for saving an outside source—such as a web page, code repository or research paper—as a reference in a project memory folder.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps capture a source, list its main concepts, suggest tags and identify details that were deliberately left out before the reference is saved.
Why use it?
It records the source and its notable ideas before deciding which parts are useful, so relevant information is not lost or prematurely filtered out.

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

moradin-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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 57 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

moradin:capture

Capture an external source as a reference. Capture EVERYTHING notable, not just what fits the current project. Project-specific filtering happens later at distillation time.

When invoked

/moradin:capture <url> (or /moradin:capture <description> if not URL)

The operator saw something interesting and wants to record it permanently.

What you do

  1. WebFetch the URL (or read source if local). Read README + key sections.

  2. List ALL notable concepts in your reply. Don't pre-filter for current project relevance. Show the operator a full inventory of what's in the source:

    • Concept A: [one paragraph]
    • Concept B: [one paragraph]
    • Concept C: [one paragraph]
    • ...
  3. For each concept, propose tags:

    • topics: from the 8-tag taxonomy (harness, memory, eval, llm, agent, arch, workflow, tooling)
    • applies_to: which projects might use it (universal, godtech, trading, future)
  4. Ask the operator to confirm or edit the tags. Don't auto-write — get a green light.

  5. Note what you deliberately skipped — tactical setup details, deeply specific code, or items fundamentally irrelevant.

  6. Write the reference file at memory/references/<source_name>.md using templates/reference.template.md as scaffold. Include:

    • Frontmatter: name, description, topics, applies_to, type=reference, url, captured (date), last_verified (date)
    • Body: "What it is" + "Notable concepts" (full inventory) + "What I deliberately skipped"
  7. Update indexes. Run python scripts/refresh_indexes.py so _INDEX.md reflects the new file.

  8. Confirm to operator with the file path.

Capture discipline (the rule that protects against losing useful concepts)

The big failure mode: filtering concepts at capture time based on current project. Don't. Concepts that don't fit GodTech today may fit trading next month. Capture full inventory.

Don't

  • Don't summarize away interesting-but-tangential concepts. Capture them.
  • Don't auto-assign tags without operator confirmation.
  • Don't write attribution like "inspired by X" — once captured, the concepts are ours.
  • Don't capture a reference if we've already captured the same source — update the existing file instead.

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.

moradin-capture is a skill published in the GitHub repository CloseTheLoops/moradin (2 stars, last pushed 25d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 587 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings.
