SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

AI assistants, while powerful, need clear, universal directives to effectively leverage Chronicle's capabilities across all projects. This Skill provides essential guidance, ensuring the AI consistently retrieves context, avoids redundant work, and utilizes the most efficient tools, ultimately making AI-assisted development more productive.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • "Search First" Directive: Enforces a critical habit of searching Chronicle's history before starting any task, with documented ROI.
  • Tool Prioritization: Guides the AI to prefer fast MCP tools when available, falling back to portable CLI commands when necessary.
  • Roadmap Integration: Directs the AI to check the project roadmap for existing milestones and next steps.
  • Use Case: When asked to implement a new feature, the AI assistant first consults this guide, searches Chronicle for similar past work, checks the project roadmap, and then proceeds with implementation, saving significant time and ensuring an informed approach.
