COG Braindump Skill
Purpose
Transform raw thoughts into strategic intelligence through quick capture, systematic analysis, pattern recognition, and domain-aware insight extraction with minimal user friction.
When to Invoke
- User wants to capture stream-of-consciousness thoughts
- User says "braindump", "brain dump", "capture thoughts", or "write down ideas"
- User has ideas they want to quickly record
- User mentions wanting to get thoughts out of their head
Agent Mode Awareness
Check agent_mode in 00-inbox/MY-PROFILE.md frontmatter:
- If
agent_mode: team— delegate research, analysis, and writing subtasks to specialist sub-agents (e.g., use Task tool to delegate deep analysis, competitive intel extraction, or pattern recognition to separate agents). Combine results before presenting to user. - If
agent_mode: solo(default) — handle everything directly in the conversation. No delegation.
