Notetaker

License: MIT Version CI

Voice-friendly note capture for Claude. Capture ideas hands-free while driving, walking, or cooking. Fillers, false starts, and dictation artifacts are cleaned up automatically. Notes are organized into handoff files you can pick up in future sessions.

Works with Claude Code, Claude.ai (Projects), and Claude Desktop (Cowork). Zero config. No API keys. No dependencies.

How It Works

Say brain dump and talk freely. Claude captures each idea, cleans up the dictation, and classifies it. Say done when finished. Say organize to cluster notes by topic and save them as handoff files with ready-to-use prompts.

You:    brain dump
Claude: Go ahead - everything you say is captured until you say 'done'.

You:    the onboarding flow has too many steps,
        we should add dark mode to settings,
        and the API response time spiked after the last deploy

Claude:
[NOTE #1 | idea] Reduce steps in the onboarding flow.
[NOTE #2 | action] Add dark mode to the settings page.
[NOTE #3 | observation] API response time spiked after last deploy.

You:    done
Claude: 3 notes captured. Say 'organize' to cluster and save as handoff files.

For quick one-offs without entering brain dump mode:

Note: switched from REST to GraphQL for the dashboard
Remind me to: write tests for the payment webhook
Action: refactor the auth middleware

Setup

Claude Code - Add as a skill at .claude/skills/notetaker/SKILL.md. Copy references/ alongside it for the note router.

Claude.ai - Download notetaker.md, open a Project, click Edit Project > Add content, upload.

Claude Desktop - Download notetaker.md, start a Cowork session, upload as a skill.

The Pipeline

Capture             Organize              Resume
───────             ────────              ──────
brain dump    →     organize        →     Next session:
just talk           clusters by topic     "You have 3 ideas"
done                saves handoff files   Pick a number → go

FAQ

What's the difference between "process notes" and "organize"?

"Process notes" gives you a simple grouped list. "Organize" clusters by topic, tags complexity (quick/medium/project), and saves handoff files you can pick up in future sessions.

Can Claude act on my notes during capture?

No. Claude records and moves on. It will not analyze, expand, or offer to help with note content. After organizing, you choose when to act.

Does it work with voice dictation?

Yes - that's the primary use case. Fillers (um, like, you know), false starts ("no wait, actually..."), and dictation command words ("period", "comma") are cleaned up automatically. Non-English words are preserved.

Does it work with other languages?

Triggers are English-only, but note content can be in any language. Brain dump mode captures everything regardless of language.
