Record reusable know-how from this session as a proposed Yarbrain lesson, report whether a used lesson worked, convert legacy v0.2 notes, and start the independent lesson gate. Use when the user corrects you or says "remember this", when the session found a working step order, a trap with a misleading error, or an unstated project rule, after you apply or disprove a Yarbrain lesson, when the yarbrain hook reports lessons that await the gate or legacy notes that await conversion, or when the…

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

# Record a Yarbrain Lesson

Turn what this session learned into a small lesson that a future agent can
apply without this conversation. You propose; an independent gate agent
decides. You never judge your own lesson.

## Before anything

Run `yarbrain status`. Act on the result:

- Command not found: run this plugin's launcher by its path. It is
  `bin/yarbrain` two folders above this skill's folder. Use that path in
  place of `yarbrain` in every command of this session.
- `no_vault`: ask the person once where the vault should live, then run
  `yarbrain init <path>`. Apply only the setup steps whose `host` is the
  host you run in: `claude-code` or `codex`. Edit exactly the file that the
  step names, never a project file, and tell the person what you changed.
  The host may ask them to approve each edit; if they decline one, or the
  edit fails, tell them the step and continue.
- Any other error: follow its `fix` field. Exit code 4 means retry once; the
  first call exits 4 after it downloads the yarbrain CLI that this plugin
  pins.

## What qualifies

Propose a lesson only when all of these hold:

- A later session in this project, or in any project, would act differently

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yarlson/yarstack/lesson-record@sha256:904d5fdd61445584

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.08c2224, 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.
