Kairos Knote

Knote

Fast capture for thoughts, notes, and observations throughout the day.

Two Modes

1. Explicit Invocation (/kairos:knote)

When the user types /kairos:knote with no content:

• Prompt: "What's on your mind?"
• Wait for response, then save

2. Natural Language Capture

When the user dictates something that's clearly meant to be captured, save it immediately. Don't ask for clarification.

Recognition patterns:

• "knote that"
• "log that"
• "capture that"
• "quick note:"
• Any statement followed by a capture instruction

Example:

"We figured out that the sync issue was caused by a race condition in the file watcher. Knote that."

Just save it. Don't ask "what would you like to capture?"

Create the Knote

• Filename: kairos/knotes/YYYY/MM/YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS.md
• Frontmatter:

  ---
  tags: [knote]
  date: YYYY-MM-DD
  time: HH:MM
  ---
  

• Body: The captured text (extracted from what user said, minus the capture instruction)

Confirm

Show: "Captured to kairos/knotes/YYYY/MM/YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS.md"

Done - no follow-up needed.

Notes

• No title needed - the timestamp is the identifier
• Tag with knote for easy filtering
• These are raw captures - process later or let them accumulate
• Can be reviewed during /shutdown or weekly review
• Works great with voice dictation (Wispr)
