Captures story ideas and narrative notes while preserving creative freedom and distinguishing author intent from AI suggestions.

The Brainstorming Capture skill is designed for writers who use Claude Code to explore narrative possibilities without losing their creative voice. It provides a structured framework for recording character arcs, worldbuilding, and plot points while strictly adhering to a 'minimal capture' philosophy. By using specialized tags like <AI> for suggestions, <hidden> for secret reveals, and <rejected> for discarded ideas, the skill ensures that the author's original vision remains the priority. It excels at maintaining creative vagueness and allowing contradictory options to coexist, preventing the AI from prematurely 'fixing' plot holes or resolving uncertainties that the author wishes to keep open.
