Personal thought and notes capture for Claude Code. A low-pressure space for thoughts too raw for a backlog and too informal for planning documents. Quickly info dump your precious stream of consciousness ideas and let Claude organize them for you.
# Install as a Claude Code plugin
claude plugins add /path/to/briefcase
Create briefcase.json in your workspace .claude/ directory:
{
"root": "briefcase"
}
root is the directory where topic files live, relative to the project root. Defaults to briefcase/.
Then use /briefcase in any Claude Code session:
/briefcase thinking about splitting the audio stack into more layers
/briefcase brief audio stack
/briefcase chat project roadmap
| Command | What It Does |
|---|---|
/briefcase <thought> | Capture a thought. Written down verbatim and filed with comments |
/briefcase brief [topic] | Get a synthesized briefing on your recent thinking |
/briefcase chat <topic> | Conversational exploration of a topic with Claude |
/briefcase list | See all active topics |
/briefcase tidy | Reorganize. Merge, split, promote, or archive topics |
Thoughts are stored in markdown files in your configured root directory, organized by topic. When you add a thought, Claude captures it verbatim and files it under a related topic, or creates a new one. Each topic is a kebab-case .md file with dated entries.
Think of Claude as your body man.
