Pins git:20260329.00bc129 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

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

# Learning Capture

Log corrections, errors, and discoveries to orbital/LESSONS.md so future sessions avoid repeating mistakes.

## When to Use

Activate this skill whenever one of three triggers fires:

1. **User correction** -- the user says "no, do X instead" or "that's wrong."
   Log what you did, what the user wanted, and the corrected approach.

2. **Tool failure recovery** -- a tool call fails and you find a working
   alternative. Log the failing call, the error, and the fix.

3. **Non-obvious discovery** -- you learn something surprising about the
   project (e.g., a config file that overrides defaults, an undocumented
   API quirk). Log the finding and where you found it.

## Approach

### Read before act

Before starting any task type you have attempted in a previous session,
read `orbital/LESSONS.md` with the `read` tool and scan for entries
whose category or keywords match the current task. Apply any relevant
lessons before your first action.

### Entry format

Append one block per lesson. Use this exact structure:

```
### YYYY-MM-DD — <category>
**What happened:** <1-2 sentences>
**Do instead:** <1-2 sentences>
**Keywords:** <comma-separated tags for future search>
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add zqiren/orbital/learning-capture@sha256:e51afd82f688cbba

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260329.00bc129, 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.

Starting a new one? Use a template for SKILL.md on mdpantry, which passes every one of these checks and says what to change in it.
