name: create-scratch description: Create a new scratch file in .agents/scratches/ with a unique three-word ID, frontmatter, and formatted title license: MIT compatibility: opencode metadata: audience: agents workflow: exploration

What I do

I help you create new scratch files in the .agents/scratches/ directory. Each scratch file gets:

A unique three-word identifier (e.g., calm-teal-cloud)
Frontmatter with the current date and formatted title
Content you provide

How to use

Run the script with a slug and content:

npx tsx scripts/create-scratch.ts "note-name" "Scratch content here"

Or use heredoc for multi-line content:

npx tsx scripts/create-scratch.ts "note-name" << HEREDOC
Multi-line
scratch content
goes here
HEREDOC

File format

Files are created as: {three-word-id}-{slug}.md

Example: calm-teal-cloud-note-name.md

The file includes frontmatter:

---
date: 2026-01-13
title: Note Name
---

Your content here

When to use me

Use this skill when you need to create a temporary note, exploration document, or scratch pad for ideas. The unique ID ensures no filename conflicts, and the frontmatter provides metadata for organization.
