/aha — Capture Key Moments

Captures the current context automatically when something clicks. Designed for speed — don't break flow.

Behavior

When triggered (by /aha, /aha <note>, or natural language like "aha"):

1. Capture context automatically (no questions asked):

   • Current repo (from working directory)
   • Last 3-5 git commits in this session
   • Recent git diff --stat (what changed)
   • The decision or insight that just happened (from conversation context)

2. Append to daily aha file: {vault}/daily/sessions/YYYY-MM-DD-aha.md

   Format per entry:

   ## HH:MM — <repo> (<topic>)
   > "<user's one-liner if provided>"
   
   **Context:** <what was being worked on, 1-2 sentences>
   **Decision:** <the key decision or insight>
   **Evidence:** <commits, file changes, or conversation that led here>
   **Files:** <key files involved>
   

3. Confirm briefly: "Captured." — then continue working. No summary, no questions.

Trigger Rules

• "aha" at start of message = ALWAYS a trigger, even with instructions after it
  • "aha cần tạo task..." → capture aha first, then handle the instruction
  • "aha switching to remote task" → capture with that as the quote
• "aha" mid-sentence is NOT a trigger — e.g., "I had an aha about..." is normal speech
• Primary trigger: /aha (always reliable)
• Natural language: best-effort, depends on position in message

Rules

• Speed over completeness — capture in <5 seconds, don't ask follow-up questions
• If user provides a one-liner (aha switching to remote task is faster), use it as the quote
• If no one-liner, infer the key moment from recent conversation context
• One file per day, multiple entries appended
• This is RAW MATERIAL for /journal — don't polish, just capture
• Never break the user's flow with confirmation dialogs or summaries

Outcome log

Follow skill-spec.md § 11. Append to {vault}/daily/skill-outcomes/aha.log:

{date} | aha | capture | ~/work/brain-os-plugin | daily/sessions/{date}-aha.md | commit:N/A | {result}

• result: pass (captured successfully), fail (context too sparse to capture)
• Optional: args="{user-one-liner}"
