What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a concise overview of project-relevant knowledge, highlighting documented dependencies, potential issues, and knowledge gaps, making it easier to understand and contribute to a project.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Project Context Brief: Generates a summary of documented dependencies, key gotchas, and engineering context.
  • Dependency Coverage: Identifies which project dependencies have existing documentation in Basic Memory and which do not.
  • Gap Identification: Points out undocumented dependencies and suggests actions to fill these knowledge gaps.
  • Use Case: Before starting a new feature, run this Skill to get a quick understanding of the project's current state, identify potential pitfalls, and see what information might be missing.

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema
How do I surface project knowledge and context briefs before starting a new feature?

To surface project knowledge, you can generate a context brief that identifies documented dependencies, key gotchas, and engineering context. This summarizes the current state and highlights missing information to help you understand the project quickly.

What is the best way to identify undocumented dependencies and knowledge gaps in a codebase?

Identifying undocumented dependencies involves checking your project stack against existing documentation notes to score relevance. This process points out missing knowledge gaps and suggests actionable next steps for documentation or further investigation.

How does dependency coverage scoring work when checking project documentation?

Dependency coverage scoring works by detecting the project stack via manifest files, querying documented notes, and scoring relevance based on dependency match and graph expansion. It then loads critical observations to synthesize a concise overview.

Can I check recent project activity and documented gotchas without manually reading all notes?

Yes, you can check recent activity and documented gotchas automatically. The system queries existing notes for critical observations and recent updates, synthesizing them into a concise context brief so you do not have to manually read all documentation.

Do I need manifest files to detect the project stack and engineering context?

Yes, manifest files are required to detect the project stack. The system uses these files to identify your dependencies, query matching documentation, determine coverage, and load relevant engineering context for the brief.
