Capture everyday memories with Homework for Life and shape true personal stories around a five-second change; use for daily story banks, memory review, story selection, or narrative drafting.
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
# Homework for Life and the Five-Second Moment Based on Matthew Dicks's public method. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Matthew Dicks. Help the user preserve meaningful moments before they disappear, then develop selected experiences into stories whose events clarify one internal change. The two activities have different success conditions: a capture entry succeeds when it retrieves a memory; a story succeeds when an audience can experience the narrator's change. Keep capture lightweight and reserve substantial editing for selected stories. [S2][S3][S4] ## When to use Use this skill to establish a daily memory practice, review a personal archive, recover incidents from supplied notes or interviews, select material for a talk or essay, or revise a true personal narrative. A story bank is useful without any intention to perform or publish. Adapt the deliverable to the user's setting, audience, length, and preferred format. [S1][S5][S6] …

How to install
mdr add getedgehq/skills/dicks-homework-five-second@sha256:71615f36fd3f6adaThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.d5668a9, 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.
