3## Purpose
4Transform raw thoughts into strategic intelligence through quick capture, systematic analysis, pattern recognition, and domain-aware insight extraction with minimal user friction.
5 
6## When to Invoke
7- User wants to capture stream-of-consciousness thoughts
8- User says "braindump", "brain dump", "capture thoughts", or "write down ideas"
9- User has ideas they want to quickly record
10- User mentions wanting to get thoughts out of their head
11 
12## Agent Mode Awareness
13 
14**Check `agent_mode` in `00-inbox/MY-PROFILE.md` frontmatter:**
15- If `agent_mode: team` — delegate research, analysis, and writing subtasks to specialist sub-agents (e.g., use Task tool to delegate deep analysis, competitive intel extraction, or pattern recognition to separate agents). Combine results before presenting to user.
16- If `agent_mode: solo` (default) — handle everything directly in the conversation. No delegation.
