A skill for adding headings and notes to Org-mode files, a plain-text format for outlines, tasks, and journals. It can place entries under a chosen heading and attach statuses, priorities, tags, properties, and dates.

Use it to add tasks, notes, journal entries, ideas, or dated items to an Org-based notes system.

It provides a consistent way to capture information in existing Org files without manually maintaining their outline structure.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00097	$0.00756
Opus 5	$0.00048	$0.00378
Sonnet 5	$0.00019	$0.00151
Haiku 4.5	$0.00010	$0.00076

Security

Grade A, and why

org-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 9d 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.

Org Capture

Append new headings and notes to org files using the mcp__org__org-capture tool.

Tool — `mcporgorg-capture`

Required:

title: Heading text. Non-empty, no newlines.

Targeting (where to insert):

file: Relative path within the org directory. Defaults to the configured notes file.
target_heading: Slash-separated path to insert under (e.g. "Projects/Work"). Missing intermediate headings are created automatically.

Heading metadata:

level: Heading depth (1–19). Defaults to parent_level + 1 when target_heading is set, else 1.
todo_state: Keyword matching org_todo_keywords config (e.g. "TODO", "DONE").
priority: "A", "B", or "C".
tags: List of tag strings. Each must match ^[A-Za-z0-9_@]+$.
body: Text placed beneath the heading.
properties: List of {key, value} pairs written into a property drawer.

Timestamps (ISO YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM, optional repeater/warning):

scheduled: SCHEDULED active timestamp.
deadline: DEADLINE active timestamp.
closed: CLOSED inactive timestamp.
Repeater syntax: +N, ++N, or .+N followed by h|d|w|m|y.
Warning syntax: -N followed by h|d|w|m|y.

Datetree (Year/Month/Day hierarchy):

datetree: true: Expand target_heading with a Year → Month → Day tree before resolving, placing the entry under today's leaf.
datetree_date: Override the target day (YYYY-MM-DD). Only valid when datetree is true.

Common patterns

Goal	Key parameters
Quick TODO	`title`, `todo_state: "TODO"`
Scheduled task	`title`, `todo_state`, `scheduled`
Journal entry today	`datetree: true`, `title`, `body`
Journal entry specific day	`datetree: true`, `datetree_date: "YYYY-MM-DD"`, `title`
Note under a heading	`target_heading: "Area/Subarea"`, `title`, `body`
Note in specific file	`file: "relative/path.org"`, `title`
Tagged note	`title`, `tags: ["tag1", "tag2"]`
Note with properties	`title`, `properties: [{"key": "SOURCE", "value": "..."}]`

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.
