Capture Context

Category: Product  ·  Sub-category: product-misc  ·  Last updated:
Extract reusable knowledge from any input — conversations, pasted documents, links, MCP content, teammate messages, meeting notes, casual mentions — and route it into the right workspace files so future conversations start smarter. Use this skill whenever the user says "capture", "save what we learned", "update context", "feed this back", "remember this for next time", "capture context", or at the end of any substantive conversation. Also trigger proactively — when a conversation is wrapping up and the user shared information that would save time in future chats (corrections, clarifications, process explanations, cost figures, stakeholder preferences, constraints), suggest running this skill before closing out. Even partial triggers count: if the user provided new domain knowledge while using another skill, this skill captures the knowledge that made that skill work better. Trigger phrases include "done", "thanks", "that's it", "wrap up" when the conversation contained new reusable information. Also trigger when the user pastes a Teams/Slack message, shares a link, or says things like "someone told me", "I just learned", "turns out", "FYI", "heads up", or relays information from a meeting, stakeholder, or document.

From the source SKILL.md

People share valuable information during every conversation — constraints, processes, cost figures, how things actually work internally, what a stakeholder said, what they learned in a meeting. That knowledge dies when the chat ends. This skill extracts it and feeds it back into the workspace so every future conversation (and every skill) benefits automatically. The goal: say something once, and it sticks.

What this skill does

Capture Context is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the product-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/capture-context/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

Who uses this skill

The Capture Context Claude Code skill is built for product managers, product designers, and cross-functional teams planning, shipping, and measuring product features. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 211,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
