SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manages and standardizes knowledge capture across Dex workflows by centralizing project discovery, document formats, and promotion flows, reducing manual setup and drift.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Project discovery and root resolution across CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md, with auto-detection of knowledge directories (.claude/docs or .ai/docs)
  • Knowledge directory scaffolding and organization into learnings, patterns, decisions, and research
  • Promotion flow integration to transition validated content into CLAUDE.md and agent docs
  • Reference and usage guidance for all dex commands, ensuring consistent behavior across projects

Quick Start

Invoke the knowledge-capture flow to initialize discovery, identify CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md, and prepare the .claude/docs workspace.

Frequently Asked Questions about knowledge-capture

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I organize project knowledge into learnings, patterns, and decisions?

To organize project knowledge, this Skill auto-discovers repository roots via CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md, then scaffolds a structured knowledge directory in .claude/docs or .ai/docs. It categorizes captured content into learnings, patterns, decisions, and research documents automatically.

What's the best way to automate CLAUDE.md knowledge discovery and directory scaffolding?

Automating CLAUDE.md knowledge discovery involves invoking the knowledge-capture flow to locate root files, resolve knowledge directories, and scaffold missing documentation structures. It handles budget management and surfaces indirection edges for safe operation.

How does the promotion workflow transition validated content into CLAUDE.md?

The promotion workflow transitions validated content by integrating with Dex command flows to move organized learnings and patterns into CLAUDE.md and agent docs. It standardizes this promotion process to reduce manual setup and content drift across projects.

Can I use Dex commands with existing .claude/docs or .ai/docs repository structures?

Yes, Dex commands respect existing repository structures by auto-detecting knowledge directories like .claude/docs or .ai/docs. The Skill resolves these paths and supports CLI-driven /dex:* commands for consistent behavior across different project environments.

What are the limitations of automated knowledge capture when CLAUDE.md is missing?

When CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md is missing, the Skill may need to scaffold these root files to establish a project root. It surfaces migrations and indirection edges to ensure safe operation, but relies on these anchor files for accurate project discovery and budget handling.

Do I need a specific directory structure to start capturing project documentation?

No strict pre-existing structure is required. The Skill auto-detects or scaffolds the necessary knowledge directories, organizing them into learnings, patterns, decisions, and research folders to prepare the .claude/docs workspace for immediate use.
