SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams learn from parallel explorations by extracting findings, decisions, and insights from another branch's iteration journals.

Core Features & Use Cases

Journal parsing: Read autonomy journals from the target branch and identify key findings, decisions, and ideas.
Neutral analysis: Provide balanced summaries of successes, failures, and ongoing work without labeling branches as failed.
Automated reporting: Generate a structured markdown report with sections for findings, decisions, and timelines.
Use Case: Review a competing branch to surface reusable ideas and potential risks for the current branch.

Quick Start

To analyze a target branch, run the skill with the branch name and optional search parameters. For example: analyze-branches target-branch pricing experiments.

FAQPage Schema

How do I extract insights from divergent git branches?▼

You can extract insights from divergent git branches by parsing autonomy journals from the target branch to identify key findings, decisions, and ideas. This generates a structured markdown report summarizing the divergent work without labeling branches as failed.

What is the best way to review parallel experiments in git history?▼

The best way to review parallel experiments in git history is by reading read-only branch journals to detect divergence points and iteration tags. This provides a neutral analysis of successes, failures, and ongoing work from concurrent explorations without altering the original branch.

Can I analyze a competing branch without affecting its current state?▼

Yes, you can analyze a competing branch without affecting its state because the process reads journals via read-only git history. It safely surfaces reusable ideas and potential risks for your current branch without modifying the target branch.

How do I generate a report of decisions from another branch's iterations?▼

You generate a report of decisions from another branch's iterations by running an analysis on the target branch to parse its iteration tags. This automatically produces a structured markdown report with sections for findings, decisions, and timelines.

Does analyzing branches work for salvaging ideas from abandoned concurrent explorations?▼

Yes, analyzing branches works for salvaging ideas from abandoned concurrent explorations by providing balanced summaries of ongoing work. It extracts salvageable ideas from the autonomy journals without labeling the concurrent branches as failed.
