SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Capture and organize actionable session learnings into a persistent memory record to guide future work and improve processes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured learning capture: records what was learned, what worked, what could improve, and any new patterns.
  • Beads integration: optionally link related issues and follow-up tasks for traceability.
  • Schema-driven storage: stores session_date, session_duration, project_context, learnings, patterns, and supporting references for future reuse.

Quick Start

Capture a concise end-of-session summary to create a dated learning record you can review later.

Frequently Asked Questions about capture-learnings

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I capture and persist session learnings for future reference?

You capture session learnings by summarizing what was learned, what worked, and what could improve into a structured memory record. This creates a dated, schema-driven log with session metadata like duration and project context for future review.

What is the best way to document reflection patterns across multiple work sessions?

Documenting reflection patterns across sessions requires storing structured records of actionable learnings and observations. By enforcing a defined schema for session metadata and patterns, it builds a persistent memory that guides future work and process improvements.

Can I link Beads issue tracking to my captured session learnings?

Yes, you can link Beads issue tracking to session learnings. The capture process optionally accepts related issues and follow-up tasks, establishing traceability between your documented reflections and active issue tracking items.

How do I structure session metadata like project context and duration for documentation?

You structure session metadata using a defined schema that enforces fields like session_date, session_duration, project_context, learnings, what_worked, to_improve, and patterns. This schema-driven storage ensures consistent documentation for future reuse.

Do I need any dependencies to record what worked and what could improve in my sessions?

No dependencies are required to record what worked and what could improve in your sessions. The skill operates independently to capture actionable learnings and persist them into a structured memory record without external components.

Why capture actionable learnings into a structured memory record instead of plain text?

Capturing actionable learnings into a structured memory record rather than plain text ensures schema-driven storage of session metadata and patterns. This structured approach enables reliable retrieval and review of past sessions to guide future work and improve processes.
