wenlan-capture

/wenlan-capture

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

Resolve the active space

The /wenlan-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 /wenlan-capture>"
resolved="$("{{WENLAN_SKILLS_DIR}}/wenlan/scripts/resolve-space.sh" --cwd "$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>

Memory or note

Default to one memory. Save a note instead only when the user asks for one in their own words: "save this as a note", "write this up", "存成筆記", "寫成一篇筆記", or /wenlan-capture text that starts with "note:". Proactive captures are always memories; never create a note on your own initiative, and never save the same thing as both a memory and a note in one turn. Turning many memories into notes is a different job: that is /wenlan distill.

To save a note, follow "Save a note" below and skip the memory steps.

Something from another app or the web

When the user wants to keep something you read in another app or on the web (an email, a Notion or Drive page, a Slack thread, an issue, an article), save the original with save_source instead of capturing it. Pass its permanent link as url, its title, the text as you read it (not a summary), a source_label such as gmail, notion, drive, slack, github or web, and space when it is non-empty. Never make up a link: if you have no link to the original, capture the insight as a memory instead. Save only what the user asked to keep; never copy a whole inbox or channel.
