Note Taker Skill

Purpose

The Scribe's Ledger enables the agent to maintain persistent memory across sessions by:

1. Capturing - Recording session trajectories, decisions, and outcomes
2. Summarizing - Extracting key insights from execution traces
3. Retrieving - Loading relevant past knowledge for new tasks
4. Pattern Mining - Identifying reusable solutions and anti-patterns

# Note Taker Guidelines

When working with knowledge management:

- Use `note_taker.summarize_session` to capture completed work before switching contexts
- Use `note_taker.update_knowledge_base` to save discovered patterns and solutions
- Use `note_taker.search_notes` to recall past approaches before reinventing
- Always record:
  - Key decision points and rationale
  - Failed approaches and why they failed
  - Final working solution and its context
  - Files modified and their purpose
