Captures an important insight, decision, constraint, pattern, or discovery to persistent memory via the vault CLI — distinct from general note-taking in that entries are tagged, tiered, and retrievable across future sessions. Use when the user says "save this", "remember this", "note for later", "don't forget", or "keep this in mind", or when the conversation produces something worth preserving: architectural decisions, recurring bugs, hard-won constraints, naming conventions, or user…
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
# vault-capture
Persist a memory to the vault so it can be retrieved in future sessions.
## Mindset
Before capturing, answer two questions:
1. **Is this time-bound?** If yes → `episodic`. If no, continue.
2. **Is this a how-to process?** If yes → `procedural`. If no → `semantic`.
Always capture with `--project` when working in a project context. Always add
`--tags` with at least two relevant keywords — they are the primary BM25 signal
for future retrieval.
## When to use
Use whenever the conversation produces:
- A confirmed decision ("we're using X instead of Y")
- A constraint that must not be violated
- A recurring bug or workaround
- A project convention or naming pattern
- A user preference expressed explicitly
## How to use
```bash
vault-cli capture --text "<memory content>" [--tier episodic|semantic|procedural] [--project <id>] [--tags tag1,tag2]
```
Always double-quote the `--text` value to handle apostrophes and special characters.
Or pipe from stdin:
```bash
echo "<memory content>" | vault-cli capture
```
## Tier selection
| Question | Answer | Tier |
|---|---|---|
| Is this tied to today's session or a specific event? | Yes | `episodic` (default) |

How to install
mdr add pantheon-org/tekhne/vault-capture@sha256:def31ac86290a0aeThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260710.9cbcee2, 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.
