# Compound Knowledge
Every hard-won fix that only lives in one session's context gets re-derived from
scratch the next time it comes up — in a different session, by a different agent, or
by the same agent six months later with no memory of last time. This skill turns a
solved problem into a searchable artifact so the investigation compounds instead of
repeating.
## When to use this
- **Capture** right after closing out a problem that took genuine investigation: a
non-obvious root cause, a workaround for a library/platform quirk, a gotcha that
will plausibly bite again. Not "fixed a typo" — that doesn't need a doc.
- Triggered by the user saying "that worked," "remember this," or on your own
initiative right after verifying a hard-won fix (see
[`verify-before-done`](../verify-before-done) — don't document a fix you haven't
actually confirmed works).
- **Search** before starting non-trivial debugging or investigation — check
`docs/solutions/` first in case this was already solved.
## Instructions
### Capturing a solution
1. **Confirm it's actually solved.** Don't write up a fix you're only hoping works —
verify it per `verify-before-done`'s evidence ladder first.
2. **Check for a near-duplicate first.** Search `docs/solutions/` by keyword/category
— if this updates or extends an existing doc rather than being genuinely new,
update that file instead of creating a near-duplicate.
3. **Pick a category** from a small fixed set so the folder stays scannabl
