SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automatically drafts concise case study reflections so developers do not need to manually summarize conversations and recent git activity for portfolios, postmortems, or internal documentation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Context-aware drafting: Scans the current conversation and recent git history to identify moments that answer the five reflection questions (constraints, tradeoffs, risks, security, iteration).
  • Git-linked, specific drafts: Produces concise answers that reference commit hashes, file names, and decision rationale to make entries verifiable and actionable.
  • Approval-first capture: Presents drafts for developer approval and avoids duplication by checking .case-study/events.json before appending new events.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate case study reflections from chat and git history?

To generate case study reflections, the Skill scans your current conversation context and recent git log entries to identify answers to constraints, tradeoffs, risks, security, and iteration questions, then formats them into draft events for your approval.

How does the auto-capture process handle duplicate reflection events?

The auto-capture process prevents duplication by reading the existing .case-study/events.json file before appending any new reflection events, ensuring no duplicate entries are created during the drafting process.

Can I use git commit hashes and file names in my developer portfolio documentation?

Yes, you can reference git commit hashes and file names in your portfolio documentation because this process produces concise, git-linked drafts that cite specific commits and decision rationale for verifiable entries.

Do I need a specific file structure to draft postmortems from git logs?

You need a .case-study/events.json file in your repository to draft postmortems from git logs, as the process reads this file to check for existing events and appends approved reflection drafts to it.

What is the best way to convert conversation transcripts into timestamped documentation?

The best way to convert conversation transcripts into timestamped documentation is to use an approval-first capture process that identifies key decision moments in the chat and formats them with file references for user review.

What are the limitations of automating case study reflections from developer workflows?

A limitation of automating these reflections is that the process only drafts candidate events from recent git history and the current conversation, requiring manual developer approval before entries are finalized to ensure accuracy.
