SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Instincts capture recurring patterns learned in the project and this skill surfaces them with confidence scores, enabling teams to review what the project has learned and identify patterns ready for evolution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Group instincts by domain and display per-instinct confidence scores.
  • Surface patterns ready to evolve and track the last learning date.
  • Use cases include governance reviews, pattern discovery, and targeted improvements across code, tests, and processes.

Quick Start

Run /learn to extract instincts and view the Instincts dashboard.

Frequently Asked Questions about instincts

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I review learned patterns in a project dashboard with confidence scores?

To review learned patterns with confidence scores, run the /learn command to extract instincts and render a domain-grouped dashboard. It reads from project.yaml and surfaces recurring patterns grouped by domain for governance reviews.

What is pattern evolution and how does tracking learned instincts help governance?

Pattern evolution identifies recurring project patterns ready for updates. Tracking learned instincts with last-learned timestamps and confidence scores helps governance teams understand what the project has learned and where to target improvements across code and tests.

How do I group project instincts by domain to find patterns ready to evolve?

You can group project instincts by domain by rendering the instincts dashboard. This surfaces per-instinct confidence scores and last-learned timestamps, allowing you to pinpoint specific recurring patterns ready for evolution across different project areas.

Can I use domain-grouping for pattern discovery if my project has no dependencies?

Yes, you can use domain-grouping for pattern discovery without external dependencies. The skill operates independently by reading learned instincts from the local project.yaml file and rendering a governance dashboard for targeted improvements.

What's the best way to surface last-learned timestamps for project governance reviews?

The best way to surface last-learned timestamps for governance reviews is running the /learn command. It reads project.yaml, renders a domain-grouped dashboard, and displays confidence scores alongside timestamps to track pattern evolution over time.

Why does my instincts dashboard show low confidence scores for certain domain patterns?

Low confidence scores on the instincts dashboard indicate recently learned or infrequently encountered domain patterns. The dashboard surfaces these confidence scores to help teams identify which recurring patterns need further validation before evolution.
