# Capture and check a recipe source · [inbox reference]

## Capture the pointer first
- What did I save, and when? [ ]
- Where did I find it: book, card, website, message, or another source? [ ]
- Creator or author as shown by the source: [ ]
- Exact URL, book and page, or private storage reference: [ ]
- Is this source reachable and current? Check date: [ ]

## Decide what may be retained
- Did I create this recipe or receive permission to store this material? [ ]
- What can I keep: title and citation, link, personal note, or authorized copy? [ ]
- Does any source term limit copying, adaptation, or sharing? [check the source]
- What should remain outside this workspace? [ ]

## Triage gate
- [ ] The author and source are recorded as they appear at the source.
- [ ] A locator is precise enough to find the source again.
- [ ] Unclear rights remain marked for review; source text and images are not copied by default.
- [ ] The next action is either verify, add an allowed record, or discard the capture.
