These are templates for what *you* type into your capture channel or say directly to any MCP-connected AI using "save this" or "remember this." + +### 1. Decision Capture + +```text +Decision: [what was decided]. Context: [why]. Owner: [who]. +``` + +Example: `Decision: Moving the launch to March 15. Context: QA found three blockers in the payment flow. Owner: Rachel.` + +Why it works: "Decision" triggers the `task` type. Naming an owner triggers people extraction. The context gives the embedding meaningful content to match against later. + +### 2. Person Note + +```text +[Name] — [what happened or what you learned about them]. +``` + +Example: `Marcus — mentioned he's overwhelmed since the reorg. Wants to move to the platform team. His wife just had a baby.` + +Why it works: Leading with a name triggers `person_note` classification and people extraction. Everything after the dash becomes searchable context about that person. + +### 3. Insight Capture + +```text +Insight: [the thing you realized]. Triggered by: [what made you think of it]. +``` + +Example: `Insight: Our onboarding flow assumes users already understand permissions. Triggered by: watching a new hire struggle for 20 minutes with role setup.` + +Why it works: "Insight" triggers `idea` type. Including the trigger gives the embedding richer semantic content and helps you remember the original context months later. + +### 4. Meeting Debrief + +```text +Meeting with [who] about [topic]. Key points: [the important stuff]. Action items: [what happens next]. +``` + +Example: `Meeting with design team about the dashboard redesign. Key points: they want to cut three panels, keep the revenue chart, add a trend line. Action items: I send them the API spec by Thursday, they send revised mocks by Monday.` + +Why it works: Hits multiple extraction targets at once — people, topics, action items, dates. Dense captures like this are the highest-value entries in your brain. + +### 5. The AI Save + +```text +Saving from [AI tool]: [the key takeaway or output worth keeping]. +``` + +Example: `Saving from Claude: Framework for evaluating vendor proposals — score on integration effort (40%), maintenance burden (30%), and switching cost (30%). Weight integration highest because that's where every past vendor has surprised us.` + +Why it works: "Saving from [tool]" creates a natural `reference` classification.

Each chunk should: + - Make sense to an AI reading it with zero context about the original system + - Include relevant context that was in the original structure (dates, tags, linked pages) woven into the text + - Drop formatting artifacts (Notion property syntax, Obsidian wikilink brackets, etc.) + - Preserve the actual meaning and detail + + Example transformation: + - Original Notion database row: `| Meeting with Design | 2025-01-15 | #product #redesign | Action: send API spec by Friday |` + - Transformed: "Meeting with Design team on January 15, 2025 about the product redesign.
