Captures and organizes narrative ideas using a minimalist approach that preserves creative freedom and records author intent without over-extending details.

The Brainstorming Capture skill provides a specialized framework for writers to document story sessions while maintaining the delicate balance between AI assistance and creative control. It prioritizes recording the author's exact thoughts without filling in gaps or resolving intentional vagueness, ensuring that 'maybe' and 'might' are preserved as creative space. By utilizing a specific tagging system for AI suggestions, hidden spoilers, and rejected ideas, it creates a structured but unpolluted workspace that integrates seamlessly with specialized resources for characters, worldbuilding, and chapter planning.
