Use when user invokes /capture to capture information from the current conversation into a staging file for later reflection and knowledge graph processing. Accepts no arguments (auto-extract), specific facts as text, or filter keywords like "decisions" or "technical". Do NOT use when the user wants to write directly to knowledge files — use direct file editing instead.
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
# Session Staging ## Overview Capture information from the current conversation into a staging file for the daily reflection pipeline to consume and write to the knowledge graph. **Core principles:** 1. **Token-conscious** — 3-8 bullets, max 20 words each 2. **Complementary to Stop hook** — captures nuance and specificity the auto-summary misses 3. **Append-only** — never modify existing entries in the staging file 4. **Confirm what was staged** — always show the user exactly what was written ## Argument Types | Argument | Behavior | |----------|----------| | (none) | Auto-extract 3-8 most important facts from the conversation | | Specific text | Stage the provided facts as bullets | | `decisions` | Extract only decisions made this session | | `technical` | Extract only technical facts and implementation details | ## Workflow (MANDATORY — follow in order) ### Step 1: Parse Input Classify the argument: - **No argument** → auto-extract mode - **Exactly the word `decisions`** → filter to decisions only - **Exactly the word `technical`** → filter to technical facts only - **Anything else** → treat as specific facts provided by the user ### Step 2: Resolve Staging File …

How to install
mdr add harnessprotocol/harness-kit/capture@sha256:ca96a94da504cf74The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260316.376a192, 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.
