SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you convert raw thoughts, meeting takeaways, or unstructured journal notes into structured, evidence-backed entries for your impact log instead of guessing how to format or what to claim.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Curates raw inputs into an impact-log entry: Promotes unstructured bullets, meeting notes, or free-form reflections into a consistent template that fits report/impact-log.md.
  • Extracts impact from guiding questions: Uses prompts to elicit concrete outcomes when you have no ready-made notes.
  • Supports evidence-aware reporting: Encourages you to attach screenshots to _media/ and reference filenames so claims remain traceable.
  • Avoids duplication and noise: Checks for existing report/impact-log.md and proposes promoting only relevant items from _private/scratchpad.md.

Quick Start

Paste your raw bullet notes (or confirm which items in _private/scratchpad.md you want to promote) and ask the skill to write a new entry in report/impact-log.md.
