Capture Progress

Use this skill when the job is not to keep talking, but to preserve progress.

"Capture this" does not mean "spray raw notes somewhere." It means: take what was learned or decided, choose the canonical artifact, sharpen the wording, and make it durable.

The output should be easy to find later and useful to another agent or operator who was not present for the conversation.

What counts as capture

Capture means converting transient conversation into one or more of:

• project truth in a working doc (launch-plan.md, README, runbook, spec)
• repo truth in lat.md/, AGENTS.md, or a project ADR
• system truth in joelclaw memory when the learning is cross-project and durable
• actionable follow-up in a task system when the result is "someone needs to do X later"
• operator-facing summary when the important thing is a decision, not the whole thread

Do not confuse capture with journaling. Capture keeps the signal and throws away the sludge.
