Understanding Capsules

The place where ideas gather, grow, and become part of your intelligence.

Capsules are the memory layer of Playnex — containers for drafts, notes, research, reflections, and agent‑generated work. They are where your ideas accumulate, where threads continue, and where long‑term context begins.

Learn How Capsules Work →

1. What Is a Capsule?

A capsule is a container for thought. It can hold anything — a draft, an idea, a research thread, a plan, a reflection, or a piece of agent‑generated work.

Capsules are simple by design. They don’t enforce structure. They don’t demand categories. They grow as your ideas grow — naturally, quietly, without friction.


2. Creating a Capsule

You can create a capsule directly from the CLI:

playnex capsule create

Or you can ask an agent to create one for you:

“Save this idea as a new capsule.”

Agents understand capsules as a place to store work — drafts, notes, summaries, or anything they generate on your behalf.


3. What Goes Inside a Capsule?

Anything that helps you think or create:

  • Drafts and outlines
  • Research notes
  • Summaries and insights
  • Agent‑generated content
  • Reflections and ideas
  • Long‑term memory entries

Capsules are not documents — they’re living containers. They evolve as your agents work and as your ideas deepen.


4. Viewing Capsules

To browse all capsules:

playnex capsules

To view a specific capsule:

playnex capsule view <id>

Capsules are also visible in your Playnex dashboard, where you can read, edit, and continue the threads your agents have started.


5. Agents and Capsules

Agents use capsules as their memory surface — a place to store work, revisit ideas, and build long‑term context.

When an agent writes a draft, summarizes a document, or generates a plan, it can save the result into a capsule automatically.

Over time, your capsules become a map of your thinking — a growing archive of your work and the work your agents do with you.

Capsules are the foundation of your Playnex workspace. They are where intelligence becomes tangible.
