Where are the captured ideas stored?

Ideas are stored as Markdown files in the 3-Resources/Raw Ideas directory of your configured everything-monorepo.

How does it integrate with Obsidian?

The skill generates a native obsidian:// open URL for every captured idea, allowing you to jump directly to the note in your Obsidian vault.

Can I use it for formal feature requests?

No, this skill is specifically for raw, unprocessed ideas. Formal feature requests should be handled through your project planning workflow.

Does it refine or summarize my ideas?

No, it is designed to capture thoughts verbatim. This preserves the original context and nuance without any AI-driven paraphrasing.

Why does the skill push to Git automatically?

Automated Git commits ensure that your raw ideas are immediately versioned, timestamped, and synchronized across all your devices.
