Capture markers — cheat sheet

TODO me: something I need to do

lands in todos.md, Today / Week / Next bucket based on date

TODO [name]: something [name] is doing

tracked as waiting-for, or on their team card if a direct report

DECISION: a decision made (not an action)

preserved in the meeting notes, not added to todos

SIGNAL: a pattern, observation, or flag worth keeping

preserved in structured notes, may surface in weekly review

WAITING: something I'm blocked on

explicit parking in waiting_for.md

? at start of line = open question

routed to _needs_review/

Unmarked prose = context. Cowork still parses it intelligently, but markers make classification faster and more accurate.

Updated to match Areas/System/prompts/meeting_capture.md — change one, change both.
