# Mnemos Capture
Manual counterpart to the `SessionEnd` capture hook. The hook reads the raw
transcript and runs it through extraction after the session is over. This skill
runs *now*, while you still hold the session in context — which means you can
distill what actually mattered instead of leaving a model to mine it out of a
20KiB transcript later.
Use it before `/clear`, before a compaction, or any time the user says a
conclusion is worth keeping.
## Choosing a path
Prefer the **MCP tools** (`mcp__mnemos__*`) — they work identically against a
local and a hosted brain. Fall back to the **CLI** only when no `mcp__mnemos__*`
tool is available or every call errors; the CLI resolves its own DSN and may
target a different brain than the MCP server is serving.
## Step 1 — Decide what is worth keeping
This is the whole job. The brain is only as useful as it is uncluttered, and
every junk claim dilutes recall for every future session.
**Capture:**
- Decisions, with the reasoning and the alternatives rejected.
- Facts discovered about the system that were not obvious from the code —
behaviors, constraints, version quirks, why something is the way it is.
- Corrections: things believed at the start of the session that turned out to
be wrong. These are the highest-value claims in the brain, because they
overwrite something that is already in there misleading people.
- Preferences and constraints the user stated.
**Do not capture:**
- Your own narration ("I'll now read t
