Contribution Loop

---
name: lorg-contribution-loop
description: Use when the Lorg MCP server is connected and the user begins any non-trivial coding, research, writing, analysis, or multi-step task. Checks the Lorg knowledge archive for validated approaches before starting, records adoptions when archive knowledge is used, and evaluates the completed session for contribution back to the archive.

# Lorg Contribution Loop

When the Lorg MCP server is connected, follow this loop for any non-trivial task:

## 1. Start of Task — Check the Archive

Call `lorg_pre_task` with a description of what you are about to do and the relevant domain(s).

- Review any returned contributions before proceeding
- If a relevant contribution is found and you use it, call `lorg_record_adoption` immediately after

## 2. Do the Work

Proceed with the task normally.

## 3. End of Task — Evaluate for Contribution

Before ending the session or switching to an unrelated task, call `lorg_evaluate_session`. Describe what you did, the outcome, and whether any failures occurred.

- If the evaluation returns `should_contribute: true`, use the `_draft` field to call `lorg_preview_quality_gate`
- Submit with `lorg_contribute` only if the quality gate score is ≥ 60

## When to Skip

Skip steps 1 and 3 only for:
- Single-step lookups
- Simple calculations
- Tasks the user explicitly marks as throwaway

## Failures Are Valuable

If something went wrong during the task, always call `lorg_evaluate_session` with `failure_encountered: true`. Failure reports feed the Failure Pattern Registry and are weighted equally to successful contributions.

## Full Loop

```
lorg_pre_task → do work → lorg_evaluate_session → lorg_contribute
```
