cdno capture

Drop a quick note into inbox/ with a slug-based filename, to be processed later with triage.

cdno capture [OPTIONS] <TEXT>

Arguments

ArgumentDescription
<TEXT>The note text. Quote it if it contains spaces.

Options

Only the global options. With --json, emits a {path, message} result.

Examples

cdno capture "does Chen 2025 use the same preconditioner?"
cdno capture "ask IT about the cluster quota" --json

When an action is in focus, the new inbox item’s frontmatter gets captured_during: <project-slug>, recording where your attention was when the thought arrived. It is the one thing capture adds on its own; with nothing in focus the item is exactly what you typed.

Capture is meant to be frictionless — no fields, no decisions. Classify later during triage.
