How capture works

The two-step palette flow for adding to Linear, Attio, or your personal list.

The capture palette is scope-first. You pick where the new item goes, type a title, then fill in one structured field. Nothing parses natural language. Nothing routes "intent" anywhere.

Open the palette

Hit ⌘K (or Ctrl+K) on any tab. The palette opens over the current page.

If you want to land in a specific scope from the new tab, press an unmodified key first:

• l for Linear
• a for Attio
• p for personal

These only work on the new-tab page itself, not from ⌘K on other tabs.

Step 1: pick a scope and type a title

The palette opens with your default scope selected (personal unless you've changed it). Switch with Tab or Shift+Tab. Or type a prefix:

| Prefix | Scope | | --- | --- | | l: or @linear | Linear | | a: or @attio | Attio | | p: or @personal | Personal |

Type the title. Hit Enter.

Step 2: fill in the structured field

Each scope asks for one more thing:

| Scope | Second step | | --- | --- | | Linear | Pick the team the issue should land on. Optional description below. | | Attio | Pick the customer to attach the task to. Optional due date with Today / Tomorrow / Next week presets. | | Personal | Optional due date with the same presets. Skip to save without one. |

Hit Enter to confirm. The item shows up in the column on your next refresh (Linear and Attio columns also have a refresh button if you want it sooner).

What does not exist

A few things look like they should work but don't:

• No natural-language date parsing. Use the date picker or a preset pill.
• No @mention of existing records inside the title. Linked record selection happens in step 2.
• No priority operators (!, !!, etc.).
• No tags or labels from the palette.
• No cross-source search. Each scope's column is queried independently.
• No "run and stay open". The palette closes after submit.

If you want any of these, open an issue and tell us what you're trying to do. We're picking the next features based on real usage.
