Context Capture Overview

Context is the evidence behind work decisions in ClarityLoop. That includes links, screenshots, notes, and captured work artifacts.

Context Capture helps you collect that evidence once and reuse it where it matters.

Watch the guide​

Watch this overview to see how context capture works across notes, links, screenshots, and connected tools.

Why it matters​

  • Feedback and requests become more specific.
  • 1:1 and goal conversations stay grounded in real examples.
  • Growth Signals can detect clearer patterns over time.
  • AI drafts improve when they have stronger evidence.

How context is collected​

1. Capture in ClarityLoop​

  • Add links, files, and screenshots in ClarityLoop.
  • Capture quickly while browsing with the Browser extension.
  • Save reusable items in Notes when you want them later.

2. Capture from connected tools​

  • In supported integrations (Slack, Jira, GitHub, Confluence, and others), use Add to ClarityLoop.
  • Connected tools can auto-pull source metadata and related collaboration context from the work item itself.
  • This is different from manual linking. Manual linking is when a person explicitly chooses the PR, issue, page, task, or deal they want attached to a conversation.

3. Auto capture (when enabled)​

  • Workspace settings can enable background auto-capture for supported sources.
  • Auto-capture runs through the browser extension, so the extension must be installed and signed in.

Privacy and scope​

  • Context capture is based on supported work sources, not open-ended scraping.
  • Work context is meant to ground feedback, 1:1s, goals, and growth signals in shared work.
  • Work-context views are scoped in ClarityLoop rather than shown as an open workspace feed.
  • If context is attached to feedback, reviews, or another workflow, that workflow still keeps its own visibility rules.

Where context is used​

  • Feedback and feedback requests
  • 1:1 agenda items
  • Goal or OKR updates
  • Growth Signals analysis
  • AI-assisted drafting

Choosing between Notes and Linking Context​

  • Use Linking Context when you are already editing a draft and want to attach evidence now.
  • Use Notes when you are collecting evidence for later reuse.
  • You can use both in sequence: capture to Notes first, then attach when needed.
