What I do
I help you create new scratch files in the .agents/scratches/ directory. Each scratch file gets:
- A unique three-word identifier (e.g.,
calm-teal-cloud) - Frontmatter with the current date and formatted title
- Content you provide
How to use
Run the script with a slug and content:
npx tsx scripts/create-scratch.ts "note-name" "Scratch content here"
Or use heredoc for multi-line content:
npx tsx scripts/create-scratch.ts "note-name" << HEREDOC
Multi-line
scratch content
goes here
HEREDOC
File format
Files are created as: {three-word-id}-{slug}.md
Example: calm-teal-cloud-note-name.md
The file includes frontmatter:
---
date: 2026-01-13
title: Note Name
---
Your content here
When to use me
Use this skill when you need to create a temporary note, exploration document, or scratch pad for ideas. The unique ID ensures no filename conflicts, and the frontmatter provides metadata for organization.
