"Activate when: user says 'I used to love this but don't anymore', 'I feel like I've stopped learning', 'I go through the motions but nothing excites me', 'how do I stay curious as I get older', or a domain expert's knowledge has visibly stagnated despite continued effort.
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
# Curiosity Learning Curve ## Overview Biological learning capacity remains measurable into the 70s and 80s. The bottleneck is not biology — it is curiosity. When curiosity drops to near zero in a domain, the cascade is predictable: curiosity lost → learning capacity lost. The framework maps three curves against age: biological age (linear), curiosity (peaks in childhood, declines with neglect), and learning capacity (follows curiosity, not biology). Curiosity is the leading indicator and the intervention point. Loewenstein's information-gap theory: curiosity is not a trait — it is a perception of a gap. Closing perceived gaps through mastery without opening new ones is the structural cause of curiosity death in expert practitioners. Pairs with [metacognition] (observe your own curiosity state early). Use BEFORE [deep-work] (deep work in a curiosity-dead domain produces treadmill output, not growth). Complements [lifestage-value-curve] (curiosity maintenance is the mechanism for Silver/Bronze Age productivity). ## When to Use - A domain expert's knowledge has visibly stopped updating despite continued work …

How to install
mdr add deciqai/knowledge-skills/curiosity-learning-curve@sha256:853f0fc2466efdbaThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.cb4e537, 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.
