What problem does it solve?

Reviews session work and surfaces structured knowledge captures for human review, reducing manual note-taking and enabling faster knowledge dissemination.

Core Features & Use Cases

Generate captures from today's work across repos by scanning commits, changed files, and recurring patterns.
Present proposals for nuggets, patterns, runbooks, and decisions and require human approval before persisting to the knowledge base.
Manage knowledge life cycle with warm, cold, and icebox tiers, supporting archiving and promotion workflows.

Quick Start

Run /capture to generate pending captures from your current session, then run /capture review to approve or edit them before persisting to the knowledge base.

FAQPage Schema

How do I automatically capture knowledge from git commits across multiple repos?▼

You can automatically capture knowledge from git commits by analyzing session changes across repos to surface nuggets, patterns, runbooks, and decisions as candidates for human review. The tool scans commits and changed files to generate these structured proposals.

How does review-driven persistence work for a knowledge base?▼

Review-driven persistence works by writing pending capture items to ~/logs/captures/pending, then requiring human approval before saving them to the knowledge base. You can run a review command to approve or edit proposals before they are persisted.

Can I generate runbooks and decisions from my current coding session?▼

Yes, you can generate runbooks and decisions from your current session by analyzing commits and changed files. The tool identifies recurring patterns and proposes structured captures, requiring human approval before persisting them to the knowledge base.

Do I need any external dependencies to capture session work into a knowledge base?▼

No external dependencies are required to capture session work into a knowledge base. The tool operates independently, using scripts to analyze commits and manage frontmatter-backed captures, writing pending items directly to your local logs directory.

How do I manage the knowledge life cycle of captured session work?▼

You manage the knowledge life cycle using warm, cold, and icebox tiers. The tool supports archiving and promotion workflows, allowing you to organize and maintain captured session work as it progresses through different storage tiers.

What is the best way to reduce manual note-taking from daily development work?▼

The best way to reduce manual note-taking is to automatically generate knowledge capture candidates from daily session work. By scanning commits and recurring patterns, the tool surfaces structured proposals for human review, enabling faster knowledge dissemination.
