Stop Writing Skills from Memory
Short summary
Skills should be extracted from captured agent sessions, not written from memory—this ensures provenance and prevents knowledge silos. Session capture transforms individual problem-solving into reusable team patterns; teams adopting this see 70% throughput gains.
- •Writing skills from memory creates lossy exports without provenance; skills must be extracted from actual agent session histories
- •Knowledge silos now exist between sessions (not just between people) when agents mediate problem-solving; capturing sessions closes them
- •Teams systematically capturing and extracting patterns see significant gains in throughput and institutional knowledge reuse
