Cross-project idea capture and review. A notebook-with-reminders that logs the user's ideas, plans, and checklists across every project, in one plain-markdown file. Use this skill whenever the conversation contains a new idea, plan, or intention the user might want to save for later, and whenever a project milestone, task completion, or session wrap-up is a natural moment to review or capture ideas. Triggers on: new idea, good idea, plan to do, I want to, we should, wouldn't it be cool if…
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
# Idea Vault
A lightweight, cross-project notebook for capturing ideas the user wants to come back
to — with checklists, priority, status, and optional reminders. The data lives in one
plain-markdown file outside any single project, so ideas from different projects all
land in the same place.
---
## Vault location
**Default data file:** `~/IdeaVault/ideas.md`
**Default archive file:** `~/IdeaVault/archive.md`
On first use: check the default location. If no vault exists there, ask the user ONCE
where the vault should live (accepting the default is fine), create the files from the
templates below, and remember the chosen path — in your persistent memory or the user's
agent config file, if your harness has one. From then on, always read and write that
path. Never scatter vault files per project: one vault, every project.
---
## Entry schema
Each idea is one block in `ideas.md`, separated by `---`. Newest entries go on top.
```markdown
## [YYYY-MM-DD] Idea title
- **Project:** {project name or "General"}
- **Status:** new | planned | in-progress | done | archived
- **Priority:** high | medium | low
- **Effort:** S | M | L
- **Tags:** #tag1 #tag2

How to install
mdr add jovesun-lab/whetstone/idea-vault@sha256:e7cc4b760733e9c5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260922.b8ae1f7, 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.
