Use when asked why an agent did or did not record a decision in a session, or when a session that settled choices left nothing in the project's record.

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

# Diagnosing recording

A session that settled a choice and recorded nothing is evidence for the next row of the table in
`recording-decisions`. This reads the host's transcripts of the session and says what happened,
citing the line it says it from. A finding with no line is dropped.

<SUBAGENT-STOP>
If you were dispatched by another agent to do a task other than this diagnosis, skip this skill:
reading a conversation is its own task, and a subagent that wanders into one reads somebody's
private words for nothing.
</SUBAGENT-STOP>

## What the transcripts are, and where

The host writes one JSON object per line. Claude Code keeps them under `~/.claude/projects/`, or
under `$CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/projects/` where that is set, in a directory it names by flattening the
path it started in. That name is lossy: `/`, `.` and `-` all become `-`, so a sibling project can
share a prefix, so do not pick a session by directory name. A transcript belongs to a project when
the `cwd` recorded on its lines is the project's root or under it. `packages/code/src/transcripts.ts`
in the mnema repository is the product's own reader of this store and the reference for each fact
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add felipesauer/mnema/diagnosing-recording@sha256:2a02e8f8f7289799

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.537c482, 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.
