SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

OpenContext users need a consistent, centralized way to capture new ideas or problem statements and register them in the global contexts root without editing local workspace docs. This Skill provides a safe, guided workflow to propose, validate, and persist new concepts within the OpenContext repository.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided idea capture: facilitates turning a raw concept into a structured OpenContext entry with mandatory frontmatter name and description.
  • Safe placement: ensures new documents are created under the global contexts root and registered via the oc CLI.
  • Lifecycle alignment: supports folder path inference, slug creation, and document population in a repeatable way for research teams.

Quick Start

Define your idea title and problem statement, then follow the OpenContext CLI steps to register the document:

  • Create target folder with oc folder create <folder_path> -d "<folder_description>"
  • Register new document with oc doc create <folder_path>/<slug>.md -d "<title>"
  • Populate the document with the frontmatter name and description from this Skill.

Frequently Asked Questions about opencontext-create

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a new idea document in the OpenContext global contexts root?▼

To create a new idea in the OpenContext contexts root, use a guided CLI workflow that enforces frontmatter requirements like name and description, registers the document via the oc doc create command, and safely stores the content in the global database.

What is the best way to capture a problem statement for research workflows without editing local workspace docs?▼

Capturing a problem statement without editing local docs is handled by proposing and validating the concept directly within the OpenContext repository. This guided process persists new entries using the oc CLI, ensuring safe placement under the global contexts root.

How do I register a new knowledge-management document using the oc CLI?▼

Registering a document using the oc CLI requires running oc folder create to establish the target path, then executing oc doc create with the folder path and slug. This ensures the document is properly registered within the OpenContext contexts database.

Does OpenContext require mandatory frontmatter for new idea entries?▼

Yes, OpenContext enforces mandatory frontmatter for new idea entries. The guided workflow requires a name and description in the frontmatter to validate and populate the document before it is registered in the global contexts root.

Can I infer folder paths automatically when adding ideas to the OpenContext database?▼

Folder path inference is supported during the idea creation lifecycle. The workflow aligns the folder structure by facilitating slug creation and document population in a repeatable way, ensuring new concepts are placed correctly under the global contexts root.

Why should I use a guided workflow for idea management instead of manually creating context files?▼

A guided workflow ensures safe placement and consistent validation for idea management. By enforcing required frontmatter and registering entries through the oc CLI, it prevents errors that occur when manually creating context files outside the OpenContext repository.
