capture

capture is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from wenlan-app/wenlan. It costs 47 tokens per session (1,712 once invoked), scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

A command for saving one durable memory to Wenlan, a local tool for retaining project context across conversations. The memory is written as a self-contained statement with why it matters.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to record a project fact, user preference, decision, correction, or other context for later recall.
Why use it?
It preserves decisions, preferences, corrections, and other facts that would otherwise be lost when the conversation ends.

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 B, and why

capture scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 172 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/capture

Capture a single memory in the moment. Active verb: agent captures the moment of insight, like a photograph.

Resolve the active space

The /capture skill accepts one optional inline token of the form space:<name> anywhere in the argument string. The bundled resolver strips it and returns the rest as the content. It prints the resolved Space line itself:

raw_args="<the full argument string passed to /capture>"
# The resolver ships inside the installed plugin; the relative path only
# exists in a wenlan checkout.
resolver="$(find "$HOME/.codex/plugins/cache" -path '*/wenlan/*/bin/resolve-space.sh' 2>/dev/null | head -1)"
resolved="$("${resolver:-plugin-codex/bin/resolve-space.sh}" --cwd "$PWD" --args "$raw_args")"
space="$(printf '%s\n' "$resolved" | cut -f1)"
source_layer="$(printf '%s\n' "$resolved" | cut -f2)"
content="$(printf '%s\n' "$resolved" | cut -f3-)"

If content is empty, ask the user what they want to capture before calling the tool. Pass space="$space" to the capture MCP tool only when space is non-empty.

The resolver line reports the proposed client context. After capture, relay the tool's returned space, space_source, and write_outcome; those fields describe what the daemon actually persisted and are authoritative.

Unknown spaces are not auto-created. Register one through the resolved CLI binary, or omit space to store uncategorized:

W="$(command -v wenlan || echo "$HOME/.wenlan/bin/wenlan")"
"$W" spaces add <space>

How to invoke

Call the wenlan MCP server's capture tool with the user's content as a complete, self-contained statement. Attach topic from cwd or the conversation — don't make the user type it.

capture(content="<args, written as a full sentence with WHY>",
        memory_type="<picked from the 6 types>",
        entity="<primary entity name, if any>",
        space=<resolved if non-empty>)

memory_type — agent picks one of 6

The daemon classifies when a local model or API key is configured. In local memory mode it does not, so the agent picks the type from the content itself. Use this mapping:

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
