System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents developers from making incorrect code changes by ensuring they first verify the actual system outputs and logs, rather than relying on assumptions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Output Verification: Confirms the existence of expected directories and files generated by previous operations.
  • Log Analysis: Guides users to check relevant log files for errors.
  • Manual Execution: Encourages running commands manually to observe real-time errors.
  • Use Case: When a feature fails, instead of immediately editing code, this Skill prompts you to check .maestro/cache/ for generated files and .maestro/cache/*.log for errors, ensuring you understand the failure's root cause.

Quick Start

Check the contents of the .maestro/cache/learnings/ directory to see if files were created.
