Use when the user says /patterns or mentions the Instinct Engine, says "I keep noticing" or "this keeps coming up", after a weekly review, when a pattern is hardening, or at session end after repeated corrections, 5+ tool-call friction on a routine task, dead-end backtracking, or an undocumented discovery. Also as a silent pre-flight before fix/debug/build/refactor on a named surface. Not for weekly/monthly journal reviews, daily journaling, or one-off decisions.
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
# /patterns — Instinct Engine
> **`{SKILL_DIR}`** = this skill's own folder (locally: the directory this SKILL.md lives in; a served brain substitutes the real absolute path before you read this). Shared starter files live at the repo root two levels up: `{SKILL_DIR}/../..`. If a path does not resolve, name the missing file and stop — never guess another location.
You are extracting signal before it evaporates. This skill scans recent sessions and surfaces what's hardening into real insight, then proposes concrete captures.
Run this after a weekly review, after a heavy journaling session, or whenever the user says "I keep noticing..." or "this keeps coming up."
**Headless / auto mode:** If you are running in a cron job, background script, or `--print` session with no interactive user, skip Step 3's confirmation. Auto-capture all findings. Add `(auto-captured — review and edit)` as a note in any new files created. Proceed directly to Step 4 → Step 5.

## First-run config
On first invocation, look for `[VAULT]/.patterns-prefs.md`. If it doesn't exist, ask:
1. **Last-session file path** (where the most recent session summary lives, e.g. `Meta/Last Session.md`, or `none`)
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add mycelium-hq/ai-brain-starter/patterns@sha256:119debd6d4b72e4aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260722.7893e72, 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.
