Where are my discussions saved?

Discussions are saved as Markdown files in your local directory at ~/.things/for-the-record/discussions/.

Can I capture content from an existing local file?

Yes, you can use the --from-file argument to read the entire contents of a specific file and save it directly into your discussions directory.

How does this differ from standard AI notes?

Most AI tools summarize or clean up text. This skill is strictly verbatim, ensuring that no context or specific phrasing is lost during the capture process.

Does this skill handle version control?

Yes, it integrates with your Git configuration to automatically commit and push new captures if your workflow is set to 'auto' or 'ask'.

Captures verbatim discussions and chat transcripts into a structured knowledge system without any summarization or restructuring.

Discussion Capture is a specialized utility for the 'For The Record' plugin ecosystem, designed for high-fidelity archival of conversations and text. While most AI tools focus on summarization, this skill provides the critical opposite function: ensuring that every word of a discussion is preserved exactly as provided. It automates the generation of Markdown files complete with frontmatter metadata, handles file naming conventions, and integrates with local Git workflows to ensure your raw records are version-controlled and portable within your personal knowledge system.
