Outcome Reporting Skill

When you use engram's recall, search, or symbol_context to find information and then complete a task based on that information, report the outcome.

When to report

After completing ANY task where you used engram retrieval results:

• Found the right file/symbol → report success
• Found partial information → report success with note
• Found nothing useful → report failure
• Found WRONG information → report failure (interference data!)

How to report

report_outcome({
    "query_id": "<from the recall response header>",
    "success": true|false,
    "capability": "<what task you were doing>",
    "recalled_targets": ["<symbols/files that helped>"],
    "verifier": "<your agent name>"
})

Why this matters

Every outcome feeds the ΔP measurement — the proof that memory improves agent performance. Report honestly: failures are MORE valuable than successes because they identify interference and gaps.

Check the aggregate

Run outcome_report periodically to see success rates by capability and interference candidates.
