SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Distill memories from long-term notes into the project's canonical documentation by promoting durable facts into the core OVERVIEW.md or ARCHITECTURE.md, ensuring the documentation stays current as the system evolves.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Durable knowledge extraction: Scan .agents/docs/LTM/ and classify findings that belong in OVERVIEW.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, or QUALITY_GATE.md.
  • Canonical documentation updates: Synthesize and merge updates into existing sections without duplicating content.
  • Governance and consistency: Preserve file paths and architecture terminology to maintain a consistent documentation voice across the project.

Quick Start

Run the distill-memories tool to scan LTM notes and refresh OVERVIEW.md and ARCHITECTURE.md with synthesized, durable knowledge.

FAQPage Schema
How do I consolidate long-term memory notes into project documentation?

You can consolidate long-term memory notes by scanning the LTM directory to extract durable facts and merging them into canonical project documentation files. This ensures project knowledge stays current as the system evolves without duplicating existing content.

What is the best way to keep architecture documentation updated with new findings?

Keeping architecture documentation updated involves synthesizing durable knowledge from long-term memory notes and promoting it into ARCHITECTURE.md. This process preserves exact file paths and architecture terminology to maintain a consistent documentation voice.

How do I avoid duplicating content when updating canonical project docs?

To avoid duplicating content when updating canonical project docs, the system synthesizes and merges new findings into existing documentation sections. It classifies durable facts and integrates them directly without repeating information already present in the files.

When do I need to distill memories into the quality gate documentation?

You need to distill memories into the quality gate documentation when relevant long-term memory findings emerge that impact project quality standards. The tool automatically applies updates to QUALITY_GATE.md to reflect these durable knowledge changes.

Can I use this to extract durable knowledge from LTM notes for an overview file?

Yes, you can use this to extract durable knowledge from LTM notes specifically for the overview file. The tool scans long-term notes, classifies findings that belong in OVERVIEW.md, and synthesizes them into the existing canonical documentation.
