SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

## What problem does it solve? The memento-summary skill captures and structures critical decisions, problems, constraints, and context from an AI coding session to produce evidence for the Knowledge Distillery refinement pipeline.

## Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured seven-section summaries for sessions, including Decisions Made, Problems Encountered, Constraints Identified, Open Questions, Context, Recorded Decisions, and Vault Entries Referenced.
  • Git-note integration: writes the summary as a git note on refs/notes/commits for later consumption by the refinement pipeline.
  • Use Case: after an AI coding session or post-commit hook to generate verifiable evidence.

### Quick Start Run the memento-summary tool after a session to generate a structured git-note summary.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create structured git notes from an AI coding session?

You can create structured git notes from an AI coding session by consolidating decisions, problems, and context into a seven-section summary stored on refs/notes/commits. This captures verifiable evidence for downstream refinement pipelines.

What is the best way to track AI coding decisions in git?

Tracking AI coding decisions in git involves writing structured session summaries as git notes containing decisions, constraints, and open questions. This enforces a deterministic seven-section format with YAML frontmatter for reliable downstream loading.

Can I generate session summaries automatically on git commit hooks?

Yes, you can generate session summaries automatically on git commit hooks. Applying the summarization process post-commit captures decisions and context immediately, writing the structured evidence directly to refs/notes/commits.

How does writing decisions to refs/notes/commits work for knowledge distillation?

Writing decisions to refs/notes/commits works for knowledge distillation by attaching structured YAML frontmatter summaries to specific commits. This provides deterministic, verifiable evidence that a refinement pipeline can load and process downstream.

What sections are required for a structured AI coding session summary?

A structured AI coding session summary requires seven specific sections: Decisions Made, Problems Encountered, Constraints Identified, Open Questions, Context, Recorded Decisions, and Vault Entries Referenced.

Do I need any external dependencies to write structured git notes for traceability?

No external dependencies are required to write structured git notes for traceability. The process operates independently to consolidate session context and store it within the existing git notes infrastructure.
