## Description

Capture raw thoughts with automatic domain classification and vault routing

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

- Classify content into personal, professional, and project-specific domains
- Extract embedded URLs for separate processing
- Route classified content to appropriate vault directories
- Tag entries with metadata: date, domain, confidence, topics
- Maintain strict domain separation (02-personal vs 03-professional)
- Quality-gated capture with iterative refinement

## Tool Use Instructions

1. Use `file-read` to load user profile from 00-inbox for classification context
2. Classify content by domain using natural language analysis
3. Use `file-write` to create classified entries in appropriate vault directories
4. Use `file-search` to find related existing entries for cross-referencing
5. Use `file-write` to add cross-references to new and existing entries
6. Use `git-commit` to commit captured content

## Examples

```json
{
  "vaultPath": "./cog-vault",
  "captureType": "braindump",
  "content": "Had a great idea about the auth system redesign. Also need to book vacation for July. The React 19 features look promising for our dashboard project.",
  "targetQuality": 80
}
