Daily Capture — Fleeting Ideas to Structured Notes

Capture random thoughts, inspirations, and fragments throughout the day. Periodically organize and merge them into structured thematic notes saved to your Yuque knowledge base.

When to Use

• User wants to quickly jot down an idea or thought
• User says "take a note", "jot this down", "I have an idea", "capture this", "note this for now"
• User wants to review and organize accumulated captures
• User says "organize my recent ideas", "categorize my fragmentary notes", "organize my captures"

Required MCP Tools

All tools are from the yuque-mcp server:

• yuque_search — Search for existing capture documents or thematic notes
• yuque_get_doc — Read existing capture log or thematic notes
• yuque_create_doc — Create new capture log or thematic notes
• yuque_update_doc — Append to capture log or update thematic notes
• yuque_list_books — List knowledge bases to find the target repo

Workflow

Phase A: Quick Capture

When the user shares a fleeting idea or thought:

Step 1: Receive the Input

Accept the user's input as-is. It can be:

• A sentence or fragment
• A question they want to explore later
• A link with a brief comment
• A random observation or insight

Step 2: Classify the Capture

Assign a lightweight tag based on content:

Tag	When to Use
💡 Ideas	Original ideas, hypotheses, "what if" thoughts
📌 To-dos	Things to do or follow up on
🔗 References	Links, references, things to read later
💬 Excerpts	Quotes or snippets from conversations
❓ Questions	Questions to research or think about
🎯 Inspiration	Creative sparks, project ideas

Step 3: Append to Capture Log

Find or create a daily capture log document:

Tool: yuque_search
Parameters:
  query: "每日碎片 YYYY-MM-DD"
  type: "doc"

If no log exists for today, create one:

Tool: yuque_create_doc
Parameters:
  repo_id: "<target namespace>"
  title: "📝 每日碎片 — YYYY-MM-DD"
  body: "<capture log template>"

If the log exists, append the new capture:

Tool: yuque_update_doc
Parameters:
  repo_id: "<namespace>"
  doc_id: "<slug>"
  body: "<existing content + new capture entry>"

Each capture entry format:

### [HH:MM] [Tag] 简短标题

[用户的原始内容]

---

Confirm to the user: "Recorded ✅ — [tag] [short title]"

Phase B: Organize and Merge

When the user asks to organize their captures, or when there are enough accumulated entries:

Step 1: Gather Recent Captures

Search for recent capture logs:

Tool: yuque_search
Parameters:
  query: "每日碎片"
  type: "doc"

Fetch the content of recent capture logs (last 7 days or as specified by the user).

Step 2: Analyze and Group

Read through all captures and group them by theme:

1. Identify themes — Find captures that relate to the same topic, project, or idea
2. Detect connections — Note captures that build on each other or are complementary
3. Flag actionable items — Separate TODO items from reflective thoughts

Present the grouping to the user:

## 📊 碎片整理预览

过去 [N] 天共 [X] 条碎片，归为 [Y] 个主题：

### 主题 1：[主题名称]（[N] 条相关）
- [碎片摘要 1]
- [碎片摘要 2]
- [碎片摘要 3]

### 主题 2：[主题名称]（[N] 条相关）
- [碎片摘要 1]
- [碎片摘要 2]

### 🔮 未归类（[N] 条）
- [碎片摘要]

Step 3: Generate Thematic Notes

For each theme the user confirms, generate a structured note:

# [主题标题]

> 📅 整理自 YYYY-MM-DD ~ YYYY-MM-DD 的碎片笔记
> 📝 包含 [N] 条相关想法

## 核心想法

[将相关碎片整合成连贯的叙述，保留原始洞察]

- [ ] [延伸问题]

Step 4: Save Thematic Notes

Tool: yuque_create_doc
Parameters:
  repo_id: "<target namespace>"
  title: "[主题标题]"
  body: "<structured thematic note>"

Confirm: "Theme note \"[theme title]\" has been saved to \"[knowledge base name]\": [document link]"

Guidelines

• Always answer in the same language the user used (Chinese or English)
• Quick capture should be instant — don't over-process, just record and confirm
• Preserve the user's original wording in captures — don't rephrase their thoughts
• When organizing, respect the user's intent — ask before merging if themes are ambiguous
• Don't force organization — some captures are standalone and that's fine
• The "Uncategorized" category is valid — not everything needs a theme
• Suggest organizing when captures accumulate (e.g., > 15 unorganized items)

Error Handling

Situation	Action
Document not found (404)	Create a new capture log for today
Permission denied (403)	Tell user they may lack permission to access or edit this document
Target repo not found	List user's repos with yuque_list_books and ask them to pick one
yuque_create_doc fails	Present the capture/note in chat and suggest manual saving
No captures found for organization	Inform user: "No fragmentary records found recently, jot down a few first!"
Capture content is empty	Ask user: "What do you want to record?"
