What it does

Capture Project Learning is an agent skill from shm11C3/HardwareVisualizer. Turn a HardwareVisualizer maintainer correction, repeated failure, surprising invariant, or costly investigation into an evidence-backed learning record and the right durable guardrail. Use when asked to record learnings, prevent the same AI mistake, update AGENTS/rules/hooks/skills, or when completed work reveals a reusable repository-specific lesson.

Its SKILL.md is about 860 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering. The repository describes itself as: A cross-platform hardware monitor with real-time metrics, local history, and customizable dashboards. The licence is GPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to record learnings
  • Prevent the same AI mistake
  • Update AGENTS/rules/hooks/skills
  • Completed work reveals a reusable repository-specific lesson

Example prompts

  • “/capture-project-learning”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Decide Whether It Is A Learning
  2. Search Before Adding
  3. Verify The Cause
  4. Add One Learning Record
  5. Promote To The Real Owner
  6. Validate

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fc54f73. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm
    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm and git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Capture Project Learning loads about 858 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 95 tokens; SKILL.md has 375 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~95
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~858

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Turn a HardwareVisualizer maintainer correction, repeated failure, surprising invariant, or costly investigation into an evidence-backed learning record and the right durable guardrail. Use when asked to record learnings, prevent the same AI mistake, update AGENTS/rules/hooks/skills, or when completed work reveals a reusable repository-specific lesson.

Capture Project Learning

Goal

Convert experience into a small durable improvement without turning chat history into always-on context.

The lifecycle is:

text
observe -> verify -> record -> promote -> enforce -> revalidate

Workflow

1. Decide Whether It Is A Learning

Record one when at least one is true:

  • the maintainer corrected an assumption or product interpretation;
  • the same CI, review, environment, or implementation failure repeated;
  • investigation found a non-obvious invariant or evidence path;
  • an undocumented design decision materially changed implementation;
  • a manual check can become a deterministic regression guard.

Do not record a guess, secret, credential, personal absolute path, temporary check state, or generic software-engineering advice.

2. Search Before Adding

Search docs/agents/lessons/, docs/design-principles.md, CONTEXT.md, ADRs, architecture docs, scoped instructions, skills, tests, and CI. Update or supersede an existing lesson instead of creating a duplicate.

3. Verify The Cause

Confirm the observation against current evidence. Prefer current code/tests, leaf-job logs, runtime/SQLite data, rendered artifacts, release assets, and current GitHub state. If the cause is not confirmed, record a candidate and do not promote it as a rule.

Separate the durable invariant from time-specific evidence such as a dependency version, PR number, runner timing, or spec revision.

4. Add One Learning Record

Create one file under docs/agents/lessons/ using the required frontmatter in that directory's README. Use an ID of the form LRN-YYYYMMDD-short-slug, update the records index, and state exactly when the lesson must be revalidated.

Show full SKILL.md (153 more words)Show less
5. Promote To The Real Owner

Use this routing:

  • vocabulary -> CONTEXT.md;
  • cross-cutting decision lens -> docs/design-principles.md;
  • specific trade-off -> ADR;
  • current ownership/structure -> architecture doc or owner README;
  • always-on AI constraint -> root or scoped AGENTS.md;
  • path-specific AI constraint -> .agents/rules/**;
  • repeated multi-step procedure -> .agents/skills/**;
  • deterministic invariant -> test, non-mutating script, hook, or CI;
  • expiring/environment fact -> learning record only.

Keep hooks cheap and deterministic. They may validate paths, schemas, links, generated-file edit attempts, or exact dependency invariants. They must not infer product meaning, clean-room contamination, or change kind.

6. Validate

Run:

bash
npm run check:agent-guidance
git diff --check

Run any new focused regression test or script. Inspect the diff for duplicated or conflicting guidance.

Completion Criteria

A learning is complete when:

  • its cause is labeled confirmed or candidate honestly;
  • its durable rule has one canonical owner;
  • AI entry points link to, rather than duplicate, detailed facts;
  • deterministic behavior is enforced by a test/script/CI where practical;
  • the record says when it can expire or must be revalidated.
