How do I convert a captured idea into a real task?

Once you are ready to act on an idea, you can use the writing-specifications skill to build a formal plan or use issues_update to change the type from 'idea' to 'issue'.

Does this skill automatically turn ideas into code?

No, this skill is designed specifically for capture. It preserves raw ideas verbatim to prevent loss of insight; implementation occurs only after the idea is later refined into a specification.

Where are the captured ideas stored?

Ideas are stored within your project's .wrangler/ideas/ directory, managed via the MCP issues_create tool with a specific 'idea' type designation.

Why shouldn't I rephrase the user's idea?

The core principle of this skill is to avoid interpretation or 'technical drift.' Keeping the exact wording ensures the original intent and user perspective are preserved for the planning phase.

Records user feature suggestions and raw concepts verbatim to preserve original creative intent without technical interpretation.

The Idea Capture skill ensures that 'lightbulb moments' and casual suggestions are never lost during the development process. By recording user input exactly as stated, it creates a pristine archive of raw thoughts in the .wrangler/ideas/ directory. This allows developers to focus on current tasks while ensuring that future improvements are documented in their original context, free from premature technical constraints or rephrasing that might alter the user's initial vision.
