Auto Capture

Problem

High-value decisions and next actions are easy to lose at the end of a session. If capturing them requires a separate decision, they often never make it into Open Brain.

Trigger Conditions

• The user is clearly ending a session: "wrap up", "park this", "goodnight", "let's stop here"
• A brainstorm or work session produced ACT NOW items worth preserving
• A Panning for Gold run finished and produced evaluated outputs
• The conversation is about to end and there is clear value in preserving the results

Process

1. Detect that the session is ending. Treat this as a behavioral cue, not a timer, daemon, hook, or background service.
2. Identify the highest-value outputs from the session:
   • each ACT NOW item
   • one concise session summary
3. Before capturing an ACT NOW item, check for an obvious existing match in Open Brain using the available search tool if the client exposes one (often search_thoughts; prefixes vary by connector).
