/capture

Capture ideas, tasks, notes, and seeds to their appropriate destination in the GSD system.

Mode routing:

• default (no flag): Capture as a structured todo for later work → add-todo workflow
• --note: Zero-friction idea capture (append/list/promote) → note workflow
• --backlog: Add an idea to the backlog parking lot (999.x numbering) → add-backlog workflow
• --seed: Capture a forward-looking idea with trigger conditions → plant-seed workflow
• --list: List pending todos and select one to work on → check-todos workflow
• --list-seeds [status]: Browse/audit captured seeds (read-only), optionally filtered by status → list-seeds workflow

Flag	Destination	Workflow
(none)	Structured todo in .planning/todos/	add-todo
--note	Timestamped note file, list, or promote	note
--backlog	ROADMAP.md backlog section (999.x)	add-backlog
--seed	.planning/seeds/SEED-NNN-slug.md	plant-seed
--list	Interactive todo browser + action router	check-todos
--list-seeds	Read-only seed browser (.planning/seeds/) + optional status filter	list-seeds

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Parse the first token of $ARGUMENTS:

• If it is --note: strip the flag, pass remainder to note workflow
• If it is --backlog: strip the flag, pass remainder to add-backlog workflow
• If it is --seed: strip the flag, pass remainder to plant-seed workflow
• If it is --list: pass remainder (optional area filter) to check-todos workflow
• Otherwise: pass all of $ARGUMENTS to add-todo workflow

1. Parse the leading flag (if any) from $ARGUMENTS. 2. Load and execute the appropriate workflow end-to-end based on the routing table above. 3. Preserve all workflow gates from the target workflow (directory structure, duplicate detection, commits, etc.).
