engram-digest SKILL.md skillB
This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.
engram-digest from techtheist/engram is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add techtheist/engram/engram-digest@git:20260918.c7018edPins git:20260918.c7018ed in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Seed or top up this project's Engram graph from the existing codebase — an explicit, user-invoked digestion of the current working tree into typed memory nodes (decisions, principles, cautions, problems, insights, intents). Use when the user says "digest this project", "ingest the codebase into memory", "seed the graph", or invokes /engram:digest. Not for routine capture during work — the engram skill covers that.
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
# Engram digest — ingest an existing project Digestion turns a codebase that predates its memory graph into a first graph. It is **explicit and opt-in**: it runs only when the user asks, never automatically. One digestion is a bounded pass, audibly reported at the end — the opposite of the engram skill's silent trickle capture. **The target is the current working tree** — the code and docs that exist *now* on this branch. Git history is supporting material only (the *why* behind what you see), never a deep crawl of old commits. And Engram is **reasoning memory, not a code map**: digest the decisions, constraints, and gotchas the code embodies — not its structure, which the code itself already records. Quality over coverage; a good first digest is dozens of well-linked nodes, not hundreds of thin ones. ## Procedure …

How to install
mdr add techtheist/engram/engram-digest@sha256:b6db305e60f16e90The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260918.c7018ed, 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.
