captain-memo SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

captain-memo from kalinbogatzevski/captain-memo is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Persistent cross-session, cross-tool memory for this project via captain-memo. Use at the START of any non-trivial task to recall prior context, decisions, conventions, and past bugs/fixes, and whenever you'd ask "have we done / decided / hit this before?". Searches a shared local memory corpus (past session observations, curated project memory, skills) through the captain-memo MCP tools; the same tools coordinate work with the other AI sessions on this machine (work board) and park ideas for…

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

# Captain Memo — your persistent memory

You have a **persistent, local, cross-session memory** for this project, served by the `captain-memo`
MCP tools. It is shared across sessions AND across AI tools (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI …)
that point at the same captain-memo worker — so context one tool learned is available to the others.
It is local-first: the corpus lives on this machine, not in a vendor cloud.

## When to use it
- **At the start of any non-trivial task** — search memory first. Prior decisions, *why* something is
  the way it is, past bugs and their fixes, and project conventions all live there.
- Whenever you'd otherwise ask *"have we done this / decided this / hit this error before?"* — search
  instead of guessing.
- Before proposing a design, refactor, or a "let's just rewrite X" — check for a prior decision that
  constrains it. Overriding a past decision unknowingly is the failure this memory prevents.

## How to search (MCP tools)
- **`search_all`** — start here. Unified natural-language search across project memory + skills + past
  observations. Pass a `query`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kalinbogatzevski/captain-memo/captain-memo@sha256:2c792518f9b711ee

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.b3cb7c0, 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.
