Quick Person Note

VerifiedCaution

Security analysis

Caution
Quality score90/100

The skill uses a bash command to check file existence with user-provided name, which could be exploited for path traversal, but no destructive or exfiltration commands are used. The overall risk is moderate and requires user input manipulation.

Findings
  • Potential path traversal: The `name` parameter is inserted into a bash `ls` command without sanitization, which could allow access to unintended files if malicious input is given.

Examples

Quick capture
/note lucy prefers direct communication
With context
/note e mentioned frustration with verbose AI responses today
Natural trigger
I noticed Cal gets energized by debugging sessions

Quick Person Note

Append an observation to a person's profile without breaking flow.

Process

  1. Parse the input: Extract person name and observation

    • /note lucy plays aggressive chess → name: "lucy", note: "plays aggressive chess"
    • /note about e prefers morning conversations → name: "e", note: "prefers morning conversations"
  2. Check if person exists:

    ls ~/.claude-mind/memory/people/{name}/profile.md
    
  3. If person doesn't exist: Ask whether to create them first

    • Don't silently create - confirm intent
    • Then use /person {name} flow to create
  4. Format the note:

    
    ## YYYY-MM-DD: Brief Title
    
    The observation itself. Keep it concise but capture the texture.
    Context: what prompted this if relevant.
    
  5. Append to profile: Use Edit tool to append the formatted note to the end of their profile.md

  6. Confirm: Brief acknowledgment that the note was captured

Guidelines

  • Atomic observations: One insight per note
  • Include context: What prompted noticing this?
  • Use today's date: Format as YYYY-MM-DD
  • Brief titles: 3-5 words summarizing the observation
  • Texture over data: "Plays aggressive sacrificial chess" > "Chess skill: advanced"

Examples

Quick capture:

/note lucy prefers direct communication

→ Appends dated observation to Lucy's profile

With context:

/note e mentioned frustration with verbose AI responses today

→ Captures both the observation and the context

Natural trigger:

"I noticed Cal gets energized by debugging sessions"

→ Prompts to capture as note about Cal
