CTO Capsule Writer

Karpathy 4 Rules

1. Think Before Coding — write a capsule only for a reusable lesson or severe failure.
2. Simplicity First — one trigger, one lesson, one verification path.
3. Surgical Changes — draft capsule artifacts only; Curator promotes durable SOT/wiki entries.
4. Goal-Driven Execution — each capsule must include evidence and a future check.

Capsule Candidate Fields

• Trigger.
• Context.
• Failure or reusable workflow.
• Corrective rule.
• Verification command or observable.
• Artifact path or inserted capsule id.
• Curator promotion status.

If brain_capsule_insert is unavailable, write a local candidate artifact and report the fallback path.
