Idea Capturer
The Idea Capturer skill provides a structured system for capturing fleeting thoughts, developing raw ideas into actionable concepts, and organizing your creative thinking. Rather than losing good ideas to forgetting or scattered notes, this skill creates a reliable "second brain" for ideation and creative work.
This skill applies principles from Zettelkasten note-taking, David Allen's GTD capture system, and creative thinking methodologies to help you externalize thoughts quickly, connect ideas across domains, and develop half-formed notions into fully realized concepts. The focus is on reducing friction in the capture moment while adding structure that makes ideas findable and actionable later.
The system distinguishes between quick captures (fleeting thoughts), developed notes (explored concepts), and connected insights (synthesized understanding), providing appropriate workflows for each stage of idea development.
Core Workflows
Workflow 1: Quick Capture
Immediate idea recording with minimal friction:
- Dump: Get the idea out of your head fast
- Tag: Add 1-3 keywords for findability
- Context: Where did this come from? Why does it matter?
- Type: Is this a project, question, observation, or inspiration?
- Future Action: Develop now, schedule later, or just archive?

14lecture-alchemist
Transform raw lecture transcripts (Zoom, YouTube, etc.) into structured, retention-optimized study notes. Use when the user provides a lecture transcript, class recording text, or asks to process/convert lecture notes. Handles WebDev, AI/ML, Web3, DSA, and general tech domains. Produces hierarchical topic breakdowns, cleaned code artifacts, intuition builders, flashcards, spaced repetition plans, and actionable study materials. Trigger phrases: 'process this transcript', 'convert lecture to notes', 'lecture notes', 'transcript to study material', 'Lecture Alchemist'.
14backend-pe
Distinguished Principal Engineer backend/system architecture skill. Use when the user demands "BackendPE", "Supermode", "Antigravity", or requests high-performance, unlimited-context, world-class backend and distributed systems design. This skill maximizes depth, rigor, and production readiness.
13constellation-team
Coordinate a cross-functional star-team workflow (Product Manager, Principal Engineer, Backend, Frontend, QA/Security, DevOps) with mandatory architecture and code-review checkpoints. Use when a request needs end-to-end product delivery, multi-role collaboration, or explicit role-based outputs (PM/PE/Backend/Frontend/QA/DevOps), or when the user asks for "star team", "cross-functional", "full lifecycle", or "multi-role" planning.
13transcribe-refiner
Clean and reconstruct raw auto-generated captions (Zoom, YouTube, Teams, Google Meet, Otter.ai, etc.) into readable, coherent transcripts. Use when the user provides raw caption files (.txt, .vtt, .srt), meeting transcripts with timestamps and speaker tags, or asks to clean up/refine a transcript. Handles: timestamp removal, speaker tag normalization, filler word removal, broken sentence reconstruction, transcription error correction, paragraph formation. Preserves every piece of substantive content while removing noise. Trigger phrases: 'clean this transcript', 'refine captions', 'fix this transcript', 'process Zoom captions', 'clean up meeting notes'.
