# Capture Discipline > *"Lower friction beats higher structure. Every time."* ## When This Skill Activates - Any capture, note-taking, or personal-knowledge operation - Keywords: *capture*, *note-taking*, *daily review*, *what to capture*, *second brain*, *PKM*, *personal knowledge management*, *inbox zero for my brain* - Default for: Starlight Second Brain - Composes with: memory/vault-management, memory/knowledge-synthesis, creator-productivity ## What This Skill Does Defines the discipline of daily capture. Tool-agnostic — works with Obsidian, Notion, Apple Notes, Drafts, plain text, voice memos. The skill prescribes *when*, *what*, and *where*, never *which app*. The practice survives tool changes; a tool-specific practice does not survive practice drift. Capture is the cheapest part of PKM. Routing is where people fail. This skill fixes routing without making capture expensive. ## Core Principles 1. **Friction is the enemy.** If daily capture takes more than 10 minutes, the architecture is wrong. Simplify — fewer fields, fewer decisions, fewer apps. 2. **Voice-memo first when thinking, transcribe later.** Thinking while typing loses signal. Speak, transcribe, then route. 3. **No capture moves to archive without distillation.** Archive is not a trash can. If it's going to archive untouched, it was noise — don't capture it next time. 4. **Inbox is allowed; indecision is not.** If routing is unclear at capture time, dump to inbox. Resolve at weekly review. Never sta
