qual-memo SKILL.md skillA

qual-memo from linxule/interpretive-orchestration is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add linxule/interpretive-orchestration/qual-memo@git:20261106.c8b5d8a

Pins git:20261106.c8b5d8a in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Write analytical memos to capture emerging insights during manual coding.

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

# Analytical Memo Writing

This command guides you through writing analytical memos - the essential practice that transforms coding from labeling into theorizing.

## What is an Analytical Memo?

Analytical memos are written records of your thinking as you code. They capture:
- Emerging patterns and hunches
- Questions and puzzles
- Connections and contradictions
- Methodological decisions
- Reflexive observations

Memos are where theory develops. They're not optional documentation - they're the engine of qualitative analysis.

## When to Write Memos

Write memos:
- **During coding:** When you notice something interesting
- **After each document:** To consolidate observations
- **When stuck:** To work through analytical challenges
- **At interpretive pauses:** Every 5 documents (our methodology)
- **When surprised:** Data that contradicts expectations

## Types of Memos

### Code Memos
Document the development of specific codes:
- What does this code capture?
- What are its boundaries?
- How is it similar to or different from related codes?
- What variations have you seen?

### Theoretical Memos
Develop conceptual insights:
- What patterns are emerging?

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add linxule/interpretive-orchestration/qual-memo@sha256:330cbfb5747b4deb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261106.c8b5d8a, 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.
