Store learnings as discoverable institutional memory, organized by the librarian	<what to remember, or "from discussion" to extract from conversation>	Task, Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, Bash

Remember this knowledge: $ARGUMENTS

Instructions

Load the knowledge-librarian skill, then:

1. Extract the Learning

If "from discussion":

• Review the conversation
• Identify key insights, decisions, gotchas, patterns learned
• May extract multiple memories

If specific topic:

• Clarify what exactly to remember
• Identify the core insight

**What:** [The knowledge]
**Why it matters:** [When someone would need this]
**Confidence:** [high/medium/low]
**Source:** [conversation/investigation/incident]

2. Consult Librarian Agent

If project has .claude/agents/librarian.md:

Launch librarian agent to:
1. Categorize this knowledge
2. Check for existing related entries
3. Suggest where to store it
4. Identify connections to existing knowledge

Otherwise, self-categorize:

If it's...	Category
"How we do X"	patterns/
"Why we chose X"	decisions/
"Watch out for X"	gotchas/
"Steps to do X"	how-to/
"How X works"	architecture/
"To debug X"	debugging/
"We name X like Y"	conventions/
"External X works like Y"	integrations/

3. Check for Duplicates

# Search existing knowledge
grep -ri "[key terms]" ai-lookup/ 2>/dev/null

# List category
ls ai-lookup/[category]/ 2>/dev/null

If exists: UPDATE don't duplicate.

4. Compress the Knowledge

Transform verbose conversation into compressed entry:

From: Long explanation with context, discovery process, tangents... To: Core fact + one example + links

Keep:

• The essential insight
• One clear example
• Related links

Remove:

• Discovery narrative
• Hedging language
• Redundant examples
• Temporary context

5. Write the Entry

mkdir -p ai-lookup/[category]

Format:

---
category: [category]
title: [Searchable title]
learned: [YYYY-MM-DD]
source: [conversation|investigation|incident]
confidence: [high|medium|low]
related: []
---

# [Title]

## Summary
[2-3 sentence TL;DR]

## Details
[Compressed knowledge]

## Example
[Concrete example]

## See Also
- [Related](path/to/related.md)

6. Update Indexes

Category index (ai-lookup/[category]/index.md):

+ - [Title](filename.md) - Brief description

Master index (ai-lookup/index.md):

+ - [Title](category/filename.md) - Brief description

Create indexes if they don't exist.

7. Verify Discoverability

• Can find by browsing index
• Can find by grep for key terms
• Links to related entries work

### Entry Created

```markdown
[Preview of created entry]

Indexes Updated

• ✓ ai-lookup/index.md
• ✓ ai-lookup/[category]/index.md

Related Knowledge

• [Existing related entries found]

Discoverability Check

• Indexed
• Searchable by: [key terms]
• Linked to related

## Quick Examples

**Remember a gotcha:**

/remember "context.WithTimeout requires defer cancel() or resources leak" → ai-lookup/gotchas/context-cancel-required.md

**Remember a decision:**

/remember "We chose slog over logrus because structured logging with stdlib" → ai-lookup/decisions/slog-over-logrus.md

**Remember from discussion:**

/remember from discussion → Extracts key learnings from conversation → Creates appropriate entries

## Critical Rules

- COMPRESS: Essence not transcript
- CATEGORIZE: Enables discovery
- CHECK: Don't duplicate
- INDEX: Update both indexes
- VERIFY: Ensure findable
- PROVENANCE: Track when/how learned
