SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Extracts durable insights from temporary EPIC files (temp/) to the Source of Truth (SoT) during EPIC Phase E (Finish). It triggers at EPIC completion or explicit /ghm-harvest invocation and outputs new SoT entries as well as an archive manifest to preserve context.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enumerates temp/ files from the current EPIC and identifies durable insights.
  • Formats extracted insights into SoT templates and cross-references related IDs.
  • Archives contextual artifacts and generates an archive manifest to support retrospectives and audits.
  • Supports end-to-end workflow from extraction to archiving, ensuring nothing valuable is lost.

Quick Start

Invoke the ghm-harvest command at EPIC Phase E completion to extract durable insights from temp/ into SoT and update the archive manifest.

Frequently Asked Questions about ghm-harvest

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract durable insights from temporary workflow files before archiving?▼

To extract durable insights from temporary workflow files, you enumerate temp files, classify them into Extract, Archive, or Delete categories, and format the extracted content into Source of Truth templates during the workflow completion phase.

What is a Source of Truth harvesting process for knowledge management?▼

A Source of Truth harvesting process identifies valuable patterns and insights from temporary files, formats them into standardized SoT entries with cross-references, and generates an archive manifest to preserve context for audits and retrospectives.

When should I run the knowledge archiving step in my epic workflow?▼

You should run the knowledge archiving step during EPIC Phase E (Finish) upon epic completion, or invoke it explicitly anytime you need to move durable insights from temporary files into the Source of Truth.

How do I generate an archive manifest for temporary project files?▼

You generate an archive manifest by enumerating temporary files, classifying contextual artifacts for archiving versus deletion, and recording the archived items to support retrospectives and preserve project context.

Can I classify temporary files into extract, archive, and delete categories automatically?▼

Yes, the harvesting workflow classifies enumerated temporary files into Extract, Archive, or Delete categories, ensuring durable insights are formatted into the Source of Truth while contextual artifacts are preserved in the archive manifest.
