SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams capture learnings at the right moments and route them to the correct targets (codebase documentation or plugin improvements). Learnings compound over time, enabling continuous improvement across projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Three trigger points: capture learnings after chat sessions (lightweight), after project completion (comprehensive retrospective), and after blockers are overcome (targeted insights).
  • Two output targets: accumulate learnings in codebase docs (solutions, learnings, architecture, troubleshooting) and in the plugin/workflow improvement space for future iterations.
  • Frontmatter-driven discovery: supports a YAML frontmatter schema (title, date, trigger, target, category, tags) to enable search and routing.

Quick Start

Record a concise learning note after your next chat session to begin routing it to the appropriate destination.

FAQPage Schema
How do I capture development learnings and route them to the right documentation?

Capture development learnings by recording context-rich notes at specific trigger points, then route them to codebase documentation or plugin improvement workflows based on their content.

When should I document technical learnings during a software workflow?

Document technical learnings after chat sessions for lightweight notes, after project completions for comprehensive retrospectives, and after overcoming blockers for targeted troubleshooting insights.

How does YAML frontmatter help organize retrospective documentation?

YAML frontmatter organizes retrospective documentation using a schema with fields like title, date, trigger, target, category, and tags, enabling structured search and routing to correct destinations.

Can I use this learning capture approach for both codebase docs and plugin improvements?

Yes, this approach defines two output destinations: it integrates learnings into codebase documentation for architecture and troubleshooting, and routes them to plugin workflow spaces for future iterations.

What's the best way to start logging project learnings without disrupting my workflow?

Start logging project learnings by recording a concise learning note after your next chat session, then let the routing mechanism direct it to the appropriate codebase or plugin documentation target.

Does this learning capture method require any specific dependencies or plugins?

No, this learning capture method operates with no external dependencies, using a YAML frontmatter schema and defined trigger points to route notes to codebase docs or plugin improvement spaces.
