 With capture off, Lore installs no Stop or SessionEnd hooks and never sends a
 prompt or response as a turn. Context injection, Guard, lore ask, lore remember,
 and the lore skill's "remember this session" keep working. Folder rules still
 decide where Lore runs at all.
 
+While nothing is recorded, Lore asks your agent to suggest /recap once in a
+session where you confirm a decision. lore capture reminder off stops that.

 Examples:
   lore capture off
   lore capture status
