codify-to-knowhow

To convert a manifest into persistent knowhow, use a manifest-driven generation process that reads a knowhow-manifest.json file and creates corresponding knowhow documents and spec entries with ref-based linking. This removes the manual work of writing and organizing reusable knowledge assets.

Ref-based linking builds a bridge between concise spec entries and detailed knowhow files using ref links. This mechanism connects structured project knowledge, such as style guides and design decisions, into a cohesive and reusable maestro knowledge system.

Yes, you can safely rerun manifest-driven knowledge generation because it uses idempotent file creation. The process skips assets that already exist, preventing content duplication and ensuring the workflow can be executed repeatedly without overwriting or duplicating knowhow.

Yes, codify-to-knowhow requires validation of the knowhow-manifest.json file before generating assets. This validation step ensures the manifest structure is correct, enabling accurate idempotent file creation and spec entry generation for your style or design package.

You need to codify structured project knowledge when a style, design, or engineering package must be published into a reusable knowledge system. This applies to workflows that require design decisions or style guides converted into persistent knowhow files and spec entries.
