Primary pipeline knowledge-capture step that closes the compounding loop. Capture a durable lesson in docs/solutions/ onto the open PR before /closeout merges (the default), or post-merge when the lesson only surfaces during/after merge. Use so future /research and /write-a-prd runs improve. Not for trivial edits with no reusable project-level learning, and not for the merge/teardown itself (that's /closeout).
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
# Compound Document a recently solved problem or shipped feature to compound your project's knowledge. Each documented solution makes future planning and implementation faster — the agent consults `docs/solutions/` during `/research` and `/write-a-prd`, so lessons learned today prevent mistakes tomorrow. When the work surfaced planning or estimation surprises, capture those too. McConnell-style calibration only happens if actual work feeds back into future shaping. ## Invocation Position This is a primary pipeline skill that closes the compounding loop. It runs near the tail of the default delivery path, after `/pre-merge` has created the PR. **Default — capture the lesson in the PR, before merge.** When a durable lesson is already known at PR time, run `/compound` on the open PR branch so the `docs/solutions/` entry rides the same PR as the code that taught it — reviewed before the same merge and merged atomically with it. This places `/compound` between `/pre-merge` and `/closeout`, and returns through `/pre-merge` once: ``` …

How to install
mdr add chrislacey89/skills/compound@sha256:bdaa2ca64387b2e9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.d548445, 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.
