knowledge-capture skillA

knowledge-capture is agent-read markdown (skill) from eltmon/overdeck: 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..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns 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
