Scans the session for durable lessons and workflows, then proposes scoped project instruction updates. Use for save this lesson or add to context.

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

# Project instruction updater

Analyze the current conversation to identify information worth persisting in the project's instruction file, then propose the edits for approval before writing anything.

Resolve the target before drafting:

1. If `AGENTS.md` exists, update it. In Claude Code, if there is no `CLAUDE.md`, also propose a one-line `CLAUDE.md` import of `@AGENTS.md`. Claude Code loads `CLAUDE.md`, not `AGENTS.md`.
2. If only `CLAUDE.md` exists, update it.
3. If both exist and either imports the other, update the imported canonical file.
4. If neither exists, create `AGENTS.md`. In Claude Code, also propose the one-line `CLAUDE.md` import.

## What to look for

### 1. Hard-won lessons
- Debugging sessions that revealed non-obvious causes
- Workarounds for platform or tool limitations
- Anti-patterns discovered through failure
- "The real problem was..." moments

### 2. New infrastructure
- New services deployed
- New endpoints or URLs
- New file paths or directories
- New credentials or tokens (reference only, never the values)

### 3. New workflows
- Commands that solve recurring problems
- Multi-step processes that work well
- Integration patterns between systems

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jamditis/claude-skills-journalism/claude-md-updater@sha256:2e07a19ebbeab5d3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261024.21f0bb2, 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.
