SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates the identification and promotion of usable knowledge from Initiative research artifacts into the knowledge vault.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Knowledge promotion: Applies a decision tree to select artifacts for promotion into vault/knowledge.
  • Audit-ready outputs: Writes promoted knowledge with metadata and updates indices.
  • Use Case: When completing an Initiative, the system extracts findings and registers reusable knowledge for future projects.

Quick Start

Initiate the knowledge extraction to promote reusable findings from a given Initiative repository.

Frequently Asked Questions about extract-knowledge

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract reusable knowledge from research artifacts?

Knowledge promotion scans Initiative research artifacts and applies a decision tree to decide which items should be elevated to vault, studies, or references categories.

What is a knowledge promotion decision tree for research artifacts?

A knowledge promotion decision tree evaluates Initiative research artifacts to determine which findings should be elevated to the knowledge vault and registered for reuse in future projects.

How do I automate indexing and logging for promoted knowledge?

Automating indexing and logging happens during knowledge promotion by writing frontmatter to promoted artifacts, updating index files, and recording an activity log for audit-ready outputs.

Can I add frontmatter to research artifacts automatically when completing an Initiative?

Yes, the knowledge extraction process writes frontmatter to promoted artifacts automatically during Initiative completion, adding metadata alongside updated index files and activity logs.

When do I need to promote findings into a knowledge vault?

You need to promote findings into a knowledge vault when an Initiative is completing and you want to register reusable research findings and artifacts for future projects.

What's the best way to keep a knowledge vault updated with new Initiative research?

The best way to keep a knowledge vault updated is to trigger knowledge extraction at Initiative completion, letting the decision tree select findings and automatically write metadata and update indices.
