Stash the current finding, result, plan or decision into .attic/ and reply with its handle. Use when the user says "stash this", "put this in the attic", "remember this", "save this for later", or when a finding is worth keeping and attic mode is active.
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
# Stash into the attic
Argument: `$ARGUMENTS` (a title, a slug, or empty).
1. Decide what to stash: the most recent finding, result, plan or decision in
this conversation. If the argument names something specific, stash that.
If nothing obvious exists, ask in one line what to stash.
Unsure whether it is worth keeping? Read
`${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../attic/references/what-to-stash.md`.
2. Pick a `kind` (`finding`, `decision`, `plan`, `output`, `note`) and a
specific kebab-case slug that will still make sense in a month.
3. Record the evidence (see **Provenance** below): which files the conclusion
came from, which commands produced it, and how far you actually checked it.
4. Write the body to a temp file, then call the script. It handles the
folder, frontmatter, index line, atomic write, and secret scan:
```bash
node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../attic/scripts/attic.js" stash \
--slug <slug> --kind <kind> --title "<title>" \
--hook "<one line under 100 chars>" [--tags a,b] \
[--type <type>] [--confidence verified|unverified] \
[--files "src/a.ts,src/b.ts"] [--commands "rg foo src"] \
[--decision-why "<why>"] --body-file <tmpfile>
```

How to install
mdr add nishikantaray/attic/attic-stash@sha256:2f98326acd4959f8The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.6.1, 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.
