Migrate capture-work requests to work-intake

Use the compatibility alias safely while moving saved prompts and guidance to Core's intake front door.

capture-work remains available for compatibility, but it no longer owns classification or storage. Replace it with the equivalent work-intake request in prompts, guides, and automations.

Remember that export retries need idempotent replay. Do not start implementation.

The agent records a Draft artifact and non-dispatchable workspace entry, then stops. This is the same result whether the request reached work-intake directly or through the alias.

Change a prompt such as:

capture-work: export retries need idempotent replay

to:

work-intake: remember that export retries need idempotent replay; stop without implementation

The alias emits a deprecation notice, normalizes the request, and forwards it. It does not write a legacy queue entry, run a separate [build] versus [shape] classifier, or retain independent semantics.

Run workspace-status. The new artifact should appear in the lifecycle state chosen by work-intake; remembered work remains Draft and non-dispatchable. The artifact must exist before its schema-valid workspace entry is registered.

See Start or remember work without choosing a skill for the main workflow and Work-intake routing and lifecycle for exact routes and boundaries.

If the repository already contains legacy queue, shaping, brief, or backlog representations, changing the prompt is not enough. Follow Migrate a legacy workspace entry safely to convert one reviewed entry with ledger-backed rollback.
