/edikt:capture

Capture the current conversation into the right governance artifact — ADR, invariant, guideline, or PRD — without having to decide upfront.

Usage

/edikt:capture

What it does

Reads the current conversation and classifies what happened:

Signal	Routes to
Significant technical choice with trade-offs	/edikt:adr:new
Hard constraint where violation causes harm	/edikt:invariant:new
Team standard or coding convention	/edikt:guideline:new
Clearly-defined feature requirement	/edikt:sdlc:prd

After classification, edikt shows what it found and confirms before creating anything:

This conversation contains:
  → A significant technical decision (use Redis for session storage)
  → A hard constraint (sessions must expire within 24h)

Create:
  1. ADR: use Redis for session storage
  2. Invariant: sessions must expire within 24h

Proceed? (y/n/edit)

You can confirm, edit the classification, or cancel individual items.

When to use

Run at the end of a conversation where multiple governance-worthy things happened. Instead of remembering to run four different commands, run one.

The Stop hook proactively suggests specific capture commands during conversations. /edikt:capture is the catch-all when you want to sweep the whole conversation at once.

Natural language triggers

• "capture everything from this conversation"
• "let's save what we decided"
• "wrap up this conversation"

What's next

• /edikt:session — end-of-session sweep across recent work
• /edikt:adr:new — capture a specific architecture decision
• /edikt:invariant:new — capture a specific hard constraint
