SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams maintain a dual-track documentation approach: a working log tied to implementation details and a durable usage notes log for product thinking, ensuring context survives code changes and future sessions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Two-track documentation: automatically detect existing project structure and adapt without overwriting.
  • Working log: records decisions and implementation history linked to code changes.
  • Usage notes: preserves durable insights about product, process, and lessons learned for future sessions.
  • Phase-driven guidance: assists in Phase 1 discovery, Phase 2 configuration, Phase 3 scaffolding, and Phase 4 ongoing use.

Quick Start

Create the two-track documentation setup in your project root and begin the first working log entry for today.

FAQPage Schema
What is a two-track documentation system for software projects?

A two-track documentation system separates a working log tied to implementation details from durable usage notes preserving product insights, ensuring project context survives code changes and future sessions.

How do I maintain project context that survives code refactoring?

To maintain project context through code changes, use a two-track documentation approach that links working log decisions to code updates while preserving durable usage notes for product thinking.

How do I set up project documentation scaffolding for ongoing learning?

Set up project documentation scaffolding by creating a two-track structure in your project root, following phase-driven guidance from initial discovery through configuration, scaffolding, and ongoing use.

Can I integrate a working log into an existing project structure?

Yes, you can integrate a working log into an existing project structure. The system detects existing files and adapts the two-track documentation setup without overwriting your current codebase.

Why separate usage notes from implementation working logs?

Separating usage notes from working logs isolates durable product insights from transient implementation details, preventing valuable process and lessons learned from being lost during code changes.
