Capture Observation

Agent skill
1 skill

Append a single observation, question, hypothesis, or concern to TASKSTATE.md as task memory without disrupting in-progress work or requiring a full state sync. Lean append-only; never restructures other artifacts. Use when something surfaces mid-work that should be remembered for later (during planning, implementation, or review), when you noticed something not actionable now but should not be lost, when you want to log a hypothesis to validate before closure, or when a small concern does not justify decision-interview or targeted-questions but deserves to be on record. Do not use when the observation is a canonical decision (use decision-interview or sync-task-state), invalidates the current direction (use direction-adjust), requires several artifact changes (use sync-task-state or state-reconcile), or when there is no active task folder yet (run task-init first).
