Read and write dekko's symbol-anchored notes in any repo with a .dekko/ directory. Trigger every time you pull a symbol's context (query_symbol, get_context_pack, dekko query/context), right after a non-obvious change, and right after any rename/move/signature edit (to sweep orphaned notes). Notes are durable, committed annotations keyed by symbol id — they carry rationale grep/Read cannot show.

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

# Keeping dekko notes current

dekko stores **symbol-anchored notes** in `.dekko/notes.json`, keyed by
symbol id (`path::Qualified.name`). They are committed to git and shown
inline by `query_symbol` / `get_context_pack` (CLI: `dekko query
symbol` / `dekko context`). See the `dekko-orient` skill for target
syntax (bare name, `Class.method`, `file.py:name`, or the tolerated
`::` form) and for when to reach for dekko over grep/Read generally.

## Consult notes before editing

Whenever you pull a symbol's context, read any `note:` lines first —
they record rationale, gotchas, and constraints the code alone does
not show. Treat a note as settled context: don't re-derive what it
already tells you by reading the code again. Call the `list_notes`
MCP tool (or `dekko note list <sym>`) directly if you need to see a
symbol's notes outside a context pack, or `dekko note list` with no
target to see every note in the repo before a large change.

If a note turns out to be wrong or obsolete, fix it (`note rm` then
`note add`) rather than leaving it to mislead the next reader.

## Write a note after a non-obvious change

After a change whose reasoning is not evident from the diff — a

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aahlijia/dekko/dekko-notes@sha256:8dd8e793315dac84

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260922.4966520, 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.
