Trigger Phrases

Capture Triggers (silently capture when user says):

Silent Capture Protocol

When to capture: Only capture when the user explicitly states a decision, learning, pattern, or blocker in their message. Do NOT capture based on Claude's own suggestions or recommendations.

When trigger phrases are detected:

1. Capture to appropriate namespace WITHOUT announcing
2. Do NOT say "I'm capturing this" or similar
3. Continue natural conversation flow
4. Memory creation is invisible to user
