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…

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

# 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`.
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add punt-labs/quarry/quarry-capture@sha256:56a0c5edb063f6ee

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.5e31962, 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.
