Record Command Design Session

Context

Arijit asked how My OS should capture knowledge while he and Athena are discussing, building, defining processes, making decisions, and structuring the system.

The desired behavior is a one-command capture flow: Arijit should be able to call something like /record and have the system preserve both raw material and distilled structured knowledge in Obsidian, including wiki updates and connections.

Core Insight

/record should not mean "dump the transcript."

It should mean "promote the important parts of this work into the right knowledge layers."

The raw layer preserves evidence. The distilled layer makes the vault useful.

Follow-up correction: this should not be MyOS-only or Chowmes-only. The method should apply to Codex, Claude, Hermes/Athena, MyOS role agents, and future coding agents. MyOS needs its own adapter, but the underlying methodology must be portable.

Design Direction

• Implement /record as a Hermes skill slash command.
• Package the broader method as a reusable agent knowledge-capture skill.
• Support Codex and Claude project workflows, not only Hermes/MyOS.
• Use raw logs for evidence, not as the source of truth.
• Create decision records only when actual decisions exist.
• Update canonical My OS or workspace notes when the operating model changes.
• Keep output compact in Telegram.
• Ask at most one clarifying question when the destination is ambiguous.

Files Created

• Knowledge Capture Automation
• Decision - Record Command For Knowledge Capture
• Agent Knowledge Capture SOP
• Agentic Knowledge Capture

Open Questions

• Should /record write memory proposals for Athena by default, or only when explicitly requested?
• Should high-stakes recordings require a review step before canonical files are patched?
• Should /record support modes such as raw-only, decision, process, and distill-only from day one?
• Should the first build target Hermes Telegram only, or both Hermes and Codex workflows?
