Pick out of a task what a future agent would get wrong without it, and draft it as knowledge base entries or skill gotchas for the user to approve. It only drafts: nothing is written into the knowledge base or a skill. Use when a task is done or nearly done, when LOG.md notes knowledge base cards that are wrong, stale or missing, when the independent check found something the author missed, or the user says "write this down", "add this to the knowledge base", "lessons learned…
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
# Capture knowledge from a task A knowledge base that only takes things in goes stale, and one that takes everything is not read. This skill picks the few facts of a task that a future agent would get wrong or miss, checks they are true and new, and drafts them for the user to approve. **Nothing is the default**: "nothing here is worth keeping" is a good answer. ## When to Use This Skill - A task is done or nearly done and the user wants to keep what it taught. - The independent check found something the author missed (`REVIEW/round-*/verdict.md`). That is a fact the knowledge base lacked. - The user says to write something down, or to add it to the knowledge base. - `LOG.md` notes knowledge base cards that the code showed to be wrong, stale or missing (the agent notes them while it works, as `knowledgebase.instructions.md` says; `task fetch` reports stale cards in `kb_note`). **Who starts it: offer.** When a task ends and it taught something, ask the user in one line whether to run this (it reads the task files and only drafts). Go on only after a yes, or when the user asked for it. ## Prerequisites - A task is open (`harness-my-task`). The draft is a file in its folder. …

How to install
mdr add smars-bin-hu/copilot-agentic-harness/generic-capture-knowledge@sha256:eb9fae1ce5452d80The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.d95f023, 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.
