Captures a solved, non-obvious problem as a durable learning doc under docs/solutions/ with validated frontmatter, and retrieves matching learnings before new work starts. Use after a tricky bug fix, a surprising root cause, or a decision with real tradeoffs, and at the start of planning to check whether the team already learned this.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Compound Learnings Every non-obvious fix that lives only in one engineer's head (or one chat transcript) gets re-discovered later at full cost. This skill writes it down once, in a place the next engineer (human or agent) will find by grepping for the symptom. Two halves: **capture** (after the work) and **retrieval** (before the work). ## The durable bar Write a learning only when it passes this counterfactual: > If this document did not exist, would a future engineer reading the final code, tests, and > existing docs still be likely to repeat the mistake or redo substantial investigation? Yes -> write it. No -> write nothing and say why. Effort, diff size, and "it was hard" do not qualify a learning. What qualifies: - A bug whose root cause was not where the symptom pointed. - A fix that looks wrong or unnecessary without the story behind it. - A failed approach that a reasonable engineer would try first. - A decision with real tradeoffs where the losing option will look attractive again. - A tooling or environment quirk that cost more than an hour. - An existing learning that is now inaccurate (update it; a misleading doc is worse than none). …

How to install
mdr add harshadmadaye/opm/compound-learnings@sha256:fedf976565d24a07The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260912.a10a790, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
