quarry-capture skillA

quarry-capture is agent-read markdown (skill) from punt-labs/quarry: Persist something worth keeping into quarry so it survives context compaction and is findable by `quarry-recall` later — a durable fact, a distilled lesson, or a URL to index. Trigger phrases: "remember this", "save this fact", "note that we decided X", "learn this lesson", "the rule going forward is X", "ingest this URL/page." Covers `quarry remember` (one durable fact/procedure/opinion/observation, scoped to an agent handle), `quarry learn` (a distilled, project-wide lesson that outranks ordin.

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Quarry Capture

Three verbs, three distinct jobs. Pick the one that matches what actually
happened, not the one that's easiest to reach for.

## Verb taxonomy

- **`remember`** — one durable, agent-scoped item: a fact, a procedure, an
  opinion, or an observation. Filed under an `agent_handle`, findable later
  by that handle or by anyone searching broadly.
- **`learn`** — a distilled lesson the whole project should follow (a rule,
  a convention, a "do it this way" insight). No handle — it's project-wide,
  not personal — and it gets retrieval preference over ordinary results.
- **`ingest`** — a URL. Fetches and indexes it (sitemap-aware, single-page
  fallback). For local files or directories already on disk, use
  `register_directory` + `sync`, not `ingest`.

## Recognize the trigger and the five moments

Call `remember` (or `learn`) at these moments — not at the end of a session,
and not never:

1. You found a non-obvious root cause or gotcha → `remember`, `memory_type=fact`.
2. A decision was ratified, with its reason → `remember`, `memory_type=fact`.
3. You worked out a repeatable how-to → `remember`, `memory_type=procedure`.
