AI self-monitoring skill. Triggers proactively when AI detects confusion or makes corrected mistakes (wrong DB schema, incorrect assumptions, user corrections on key insights). Prompts to capture learnings as project-specific skills. NOT user-invoked - AI should reference this when confused.
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
# Knowledge Capture This skill helps AI assistants recognize their own confusion and systematically capture project-specific knowledge to prevent repeated mistakes. ## When to Trigger (Self-Assessment) **IMPORTANT:** This skill is NOT user-invoked. As the AI, you should proactively invoke this when you detect ANY of these situations: ### High-Confidence Triggers (Always Invoke) 1. **Database Schema Mistakes** [category: `database`] - Queried a column that doesn't exist - Used wrong column name (e.g., `user_id` vs `userId` vs `owner_id`) - Assumed an index exists that doesn't - Got foreign key relationships wrong - Example: "SELECT created_at FROM users" → Error: column "created_at" doesn't exist (it's "createdAt") 2. **User Corrections on Architecture** [category: `architecture`] - User corrects you on how a system component works - User explains a non-obvious design pattern in use - User clarifies that "we don't do it that way here" - Example: "Actually, we use event sourcing here, not direct DB updates" 3. **API/Interface Misunderstandings** [category: `api`] - Called an API endpoint that doesn't exist …

How to install
mdr add eltmon/overdeck/knowledge-capture@sha256:9b034fa3249a0b7eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260908.0c0074f, 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.
