Automates the recording of user decisions, feedback, and tribal knowledge to ensure project consistency and long-term learning across all development tasks.

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

## Goal
Capture and persist key architectural or procedural decisions in a centralized log file.

## File Format Reference

This skill routes each lesson to one of two homes (see §3). **App-domain** entries go to `.wiki/core/18-knowledge-capture.md`, which follows the canonical 4-section layout below — identical to what `knowledge-consolidation` Phase 9 produces. **Machinery/process/tooling** entries go to `.devops/rules/process-lessons.md` instead. Write each entry in its destination's format.

### Current file sections

```
## Quick Reference — Top Rules (up to 10)
(compact table of highest-signal rules — updated by consolidation only, not by capture)

## Pitfalls to Avoid
_Mistakes that cost time or broke things._
- **[Short title]**: [One-line rule]. *Why:* [One-line consequence]. *Do instead:* [One-line fix].

## Rules & Constraints
_Stable rules derived from prior decisions. Grouped by theme._

### [Theme Name]
- **[Short title]**: [One-line rule].

## Decision Archive
_Full context for decisions that need historical rationale._

### [Decision Title]
- **Context**: [1–2 lines max]
- **Action**: [1–2 lines max]
- **Rationale**: [1–2 lines max]
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cmc-27/pass-the-parcel/knowledge-capture@sha256:0027f070a18d8393

The line at the top of this page pins the label v9, 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.
