Turn failures into skills by analyzing root causes and generating new SKILL.md entries with mandatory frontmatter (name, description) and structured templates. This captures lessons from painful debugging sessions into a codified knowledge base that prevents recurrence.

Create a skill entry after significant failures, repeated mistakes, or critical bugs within a session. Post-mortem analysis transforms painful debugging into actionable documentation that grows your repository's knowledge base over time.

A skill entry requires mandatory frontmatter fields (name, description) and a structured description template. Optional sections include dependencies and components derived from your repository, enforcing consistency across your skill library.

Yes. The skill generation process supports linking to existing skills and lessons within your knowledge base, creating a living documentation system that evolves and interconnects as you encode new failure-driven insights.

By encoding failure analysis into stored SKILL.md entries, the documented lessons persist across sessions. Future work references these skills, reducing the likelihood of repeating the same debugging pain or misunderstandings.
