blog: I Built the Capture Layer for My Portable Personal Context (draft)#76
Merged
Conversation
…-file) New post building on the 2026-07-10 portable personal context post. Frames the copilot-cli-log-to-file Copilot CLI extension as the memory/raw-capture feed that fills the pipeline's observation half; treats cross-computer sync as downstream payoff. Includes image/diagram prompts in place of generated SVGs. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Copilot-Session: a9df2167-2e11-4ef9-8728-84eccb967cc5
Rewrote in first person (the extension is Dina's own tool), cold-plunge opening, concrete receipts from the README, action-oriented headings, caveats folded inline, AI-slop vocabulary scrubbed per dina-publishing skill. Added draft:true (mandatory for new posts). Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Copilot-Session: a9df2167-2e11-4ef9-8728-84eccb967cc5

New blog post (2026-07-14) building on Portable Personal Context Across AI Client Surfaces.
Marked
draft: trueper the dina-publishing skill — remove in a separate PR to publish.What
First-person post about
copilot-cli-log-to-file(Dina's own Copilot CLI extension, MIT © Dina Berry). Frames it as the memory / raw-capture feed that the first post named but left unimplemented — theobservationhalf of theobservation to candidate to ratification to contextpromotion pipeline.Angle ("which is stronger and why")
Leads with memory-feed as the stronger angle; cross-computer sync is downstream payoff.
Voice
Passed through the dina-publishing voice skill: first-person, cold-plunge opening, concrete receipts (real filenames,
session.logvsconsole.log, hand-rolled YAML emitter), action-oriented headings, caveats inline (no quarantined limitations section), banned AI vocabulary scrubbed.npm run buildpasses locally.Visuals
Provided as image/diagram prompts (blockquote callouts) — 1 hero + 3 diagrams — for Dina to generate.
