This skill helps teams capture the rationale, decisions, and challenges behind development work by generating a structured knowledge entry and storing it in a configurable knowledge base folder, ensuring learnings are preserved for future reference.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Capture what was done, why decisions were made, and the challenges encountered, and save them as a Markdown entry linked to the project.
