Core Features & Use Cases

  • Conversational Scribe: Acts as an intelligent interviewer that asks one question at a time to ensure depth and clarity.
  • Schema-Validated Capture: Automatically maps user input to project-specific entity types and relationships, preventing data drift.
  • Use Case: Use this when you need to document a complex internal process or architectural decision that currently only exists in a team member's head.

Quick Start

Activate the interview skill by typing the command to start a session about your specific project topic.

FAQPage Schema
How do I capture tacit knowledge from domain experts into a structured knowledge graph?

You can capture tacit knowledge by conducting structured, one-question-at-a-time conversational interviews. This process maps expert input directly to typed, schema-validated entities within a managed git repository.

How do I document complex internal processes that only exist in a team member's head?

To document internal processes, you initiate a conversational interview session. The skill acts as an intelligent scribe, asking targeted questions to ensure depth and clarity before recording the architectural decision.

Does this knowledge management approach enforce schema validation for captured data?

Yes, schema-validated capture is enforced. It automatically maps user input to project-specific entity types and relationship constraints, integrating with MCP tools to prevent data drift.

Can I use this conversational interview tool with my existing Memstead CLI environment?

Yes, the tool integrates directly with the Memstead CLI and MCP tools. This ensures all captured domain knowledge adheres to your project-specific write guidance.

What is the best way to ensure data drift does not occur when capturing domain knowledge?

The best way to prevent data drift is using schema-validated capture during conversational interviews. This automatically maps responses to predefined entity types and relationship constraints.

When should I not use a conversational scribe for knowledge management?

You should avoid this approach if your project lacks predefined schema entity types or relationship constraints, as the tool relies on schema validation to accurately map and store captured data.
