Creates a structured lessons learned entry for organizational memory. Use after an incident, a completed project, or a significant learning to record knowledge for future teams and initiatives. Distinct from iterate-retrospective, which facilitates the team ceremony; this skill writes the durable lessons entry that outlives it.
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
<!-- PM-Skills | https://github.com/product-on-purpose/pm-skills | Apache 2.0 --> # Lessons Log A lessons log entry captures significant learning from projects, incidents, or experiences in a format that's useful to future teams who weren't there. Unlike retrospectives (which focus on team improvement), lessons logs focus on organizational knowledge that transcends individual teams.patterns, anti-patterns, and hard-won wisdom. ## When to Use - After completing a significant project or initiative - Following a major incident, outage, or failure - When you realize something important that others should know - After discovering a pattern that keeps recurring - When experienced team members leave (capture their knowledge) - During post-mortems to preserve learnings ## When NOT to Use - You are facilitating the team ceremony itself -> use `iterate-retrospective`; this skill banks the durable entry that outlives it - You are deciding whether to change direction based on results -> use `iterate-pivot-decision` - The learning is an experiment readout -> use `measure-experiment-results` first, then bank the transferable lesson here …

How to install
mdr add product-on-purpose/pm-skills/iterate-lessons-log@sha256:be066e6bcc8c8930The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.1.0, 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.
