SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Extract actionable learnings from completed work and document them to prevent solving the same problem twice. It writes insights into the knowledge base and memory system for future reuse.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Capture decisions, patterns, and best practices from post-task reviews.
  • Store insights in the knowledge base and memory system for future reuse.
  • Use after review, before closing the task, to lock-in learnings.

Quick Start

Review a completed task and run the compound-learn step to extract learnings and file them in the knowledge base.

FAQPage Schema
How do I document project learnings to prevent solving the same problem twice?

To document project learnings, you extract decisions, patterns, and pitfalls from completed work and write them into a knowledge base. This captures insights under ~/knowledge/projects/ or ~/knowledge/patterns/ for future cross-project reuse.

What is the best way to capture decisions and patterns from a post-mortem or task review?

The best way to capture decisions from a post-mortem is to run an extraction step after task completion but before closing. This files the documented patterns and best practices directly into the memory system for future reuse.

When should I document insights from a retrospective into a knowledge base?

You should document insights into a knowledge base immediately after reviewing a completed task and before closing it. This locks in learnings from post-mortems, task reviews, and project retrospectives while the context is fresh.

Can I use this knowledge extraction process for software, product, and research contexts?

Yes, this knowledge extraction process is applicable across software, product, and research contexts. It captures actionable learnings from various project types and stores them in a centralized memory system for cross-project reuse.

How does storing extracted learnings in a memory system improve future workflows?

Storing extracted learnings in a memory system improves workflows by preventing the same problem from arising again. It captures decisions and patterns in the knowledge base, making insights available for future reuse across projects.

Do I need any specific dependencies to file learnings under a knowledge base directory?

No specific dependencies are required to file learnings under a knowledge base directory. The process implements destination-specific frontmatter and writing rules to organize files under ~/knowledge/projects/ or ~/knowledge/patterns/ autonomously.
