Use when you discover a rule, antipattern, or lesson worth keeping ("we should never write this again" / "we should always do this when") and need to encode it at the right surface and record it to the org knowledge layer. Fires on review findings, debugging discoveries, audits, and prior-art hits.
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
# Encoding loop — turn a finding into a durable, promoted rule A trigger surfaced a candidate rule. The response is always the same two moves. ## 1. Pick the smallest sufficient surface (softest→strongest) | # | Surface | Use when | |---|---|---| | 1 | `docs/` + diagram | the *why* needs more than a line, or reviewers need a picture | | 2 | `CLAUDE.md` | every session needs it, always-on (keep it lean — prefer a rule file) | | 2 | `.claude/rules/<area>.md` with `paths:` glob | scoped to a file category (loads only in context) | | 3 | `.claude/skills/` or `.claude/commands/` | a multi-step procedure with real logic | | 4 | `.coderabbit.yaml` path_instructions / `architecture-reviewer` checklist | catch at PR-review time | | 5 | a test or a CI check (`gates/` if you ran `okl scaffold`) | mechanical, build-breaking — for rules that keep being broken | Default to the *softest* surface that could hold the rule. **Promote down (toward 5) only as it earns it** — a rule that keeps being violated moves to a sterner tier, not a sterner paragraph. Most rules never leave tier 1, and that is fine. ## 2. Record it in the store, with a scope that decides which repos may see it ``` …

How to install
mdr add emeraldleaf/okl/encoding-loop@sha256:48085a70596ba9a4The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.04d23e4, 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.
