capture-drop

capture-drop is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from fakechris/obsidian_vault_pipeline. It costs 37 tokens per session (298 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A safe file-drop procedure for agents capturing notes into an OVP vault. It limits new notes to designated inbox folders for later processing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to save ordinary Markdown captures in the approved inbox or clipping folders, then let the vault's normal processing commands organize them.
Why use it?
It prevents agents from corrupting the vault's managed data, source notes, or internal records, and keeps captured material in a predictable intake location.

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

capture-drop 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

OVP Capture Drop

Safe drop-folder rules for bots and agents writing into the operator vault.

Drop here only

  • 50-Inbox/00-Capture/ — preferred for tagged/inbox captures
  • Clippings/ — optional alternate for clip-style notes

Write ordinary markdown notes under those folders only. Intake (ovp2 daily / pipeline) normalizes them into 50-Inbox/01-Raw/ and onward.

Never do this

  • Do not write under .ovp/crystal, evolution ledgers, or other .ovp/ append-only product state
  • Do not hand-edit Crystal / ledgers
  • Do not rewrite Source notes; use product commands (ovp2 …) for pipeline mutations
  • Do not commit secrets, API keys, or raw provider env files into the vault or this repo

Pointers over copies

Prefer Involute INV ids and ovp:// claim/source/theme pointers in agent-data instead of copying Crystal prose into local agent scratch.

After dropping

Operators process captures via the daily loop (ovp2 daily --vault-root …). Agents should not invent alternate write paths into Reader/Crystal.

Changes

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.
