capture

capture is a skill for Claude Code from sharpdeveye/maestro. It costs 22 tokens per session (617 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A session-summary tool that records what happened during a coding session. It saves decisions, changed files, discovered issues, commands used, and next steps for later sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after a session to create a persistent summary in the project's .maestro/sessions folder. It is intended for tracking workflow commands, design choices, file changes, risks, and follow-up work.
Why use it?
It prevents important context from being lost when a session ends or another agent takes over. Developers can resume work without reconstructing the earlier conversation.

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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 80 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

MANDATORY PREPARATION

Invoke /agent-workflow — it contains workflow principles, anti-patterns, and the Context Gathering Protocol. Follow the protocol before proceeding — if no workflow context exists yet, you MUST run /teach-maestro first.


Capture the current session's work into a persistent summary. This creates a record that survives session boundaries — future commands can reference what happened here.

What to Capture

Read the conversation history and identify:

  1. Commands run — which Maestro commands were invoked and in what order
  2. Decisions made — architectural choices, trade-offs accepted, patterns adopted
  3. Files changed — what was created, modified, or deleted
  4. Issues found — bugs, gaps, or risks identified
  5. Next steps — what should happen next (be specific)

Output Format

Generate a session summary file at .maestro/sessions/{date}_{topic}.md:

# Session: {topic}
Date: {YYYY-MM-DD}

## Commands Run
- /diagnose → Score: 18/25
- /fortify → Added retry logic to API handlers
- /evaluate → Verified with 3 test scenarios

## Decisions
- Chose retry-with-backoff over circuit breaker (simpler, sufficient for current load)
- Kept synchronous error handling (async not justified yet)

## Files Changed
- `src/api/handler.ts` — added retry wrapper
- `src/middleware/auth.ts` — added input validation
- `tests/api.test.ts` — new test file

## Open Issues
- Rate limiting not yet implemented (deferred to next session)

## Next Steps
1. Run `/guard` to add rate limiting
2. Run `/evaluate` with adversarial test cases

Also append a decision entry to .maestro/decisions.jsonl recording this capture.

Session Capture Checklist

  • All commands from this session listed
  • Key decisions documented with rationale
  • Files changed listed with brief descriptions
  • Open issues captured (nothing lost)
  • Next steps are specific and actionable
  • Summary saved to .maestro/sessions/

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.

capture is a skill published in the GitHub repository sharpdeveye/maestro (591 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 617 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
