Palette Capture Signals Skill

When to use this skill

Only call the capture-signals tool when the user explicitly asks. Examples:

• "capture this"
• "log this signal"
• "save this update to Palette"
• Running /palette:capture

Never call capture-signals proactively. The user must initiate every capture.

How to capture

1. Take the user's message verbatim — do not summarize, extract, or rewrite it.
2. Call the capture-signals tool from the Palette MCP server:
   • Input: { message: "<user's message verbatim>" }
   • Returns: { success: boolean }
3. If successful, confirm to the user that the signal was captured.
4. If it fails, let the user know and suggest they try again.

Important

• Pass the message exactly as the user wrote it — the server handles all parsing
• Do not batch or queue signals — capture immediately when asked
• Do not modify, summarize, or enrich the message before sending
