SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Rethink automates the detection and resolution loop for knowledge-system friction by turning scattered observations and tensions into structured, actionable guidance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Triaging observations and tensions into promotable knowledge, methodology guidance, or implementation tasks
  • Pattern detection across multiple items to surface recurring friction or misalignments
  • Generating concrete proposals with traceable evidence and risk assessments
  • Maintaining a living methodology and context alignment so the system evolves safely over time
  • Coordinating human approvals and changelog updates to preserve governance

Quick Start

Review pending items in ops/observations and ops/tensions, then approve triage results to evolve the knowledge system.

FAQPage Schema
How do I triage observations and tensions to surface recurring patterns in a knowledge system?

Triage observations and tensions by reviewing pending items in ops/observations and ops/tensions, then approving triage results to promote actionable insights and surface recurring friction patterns. The process categorizes items into knowledge, methodology guidance, or implementation tasks.

What is the best way to automate knowledge-management friction detection across ongoing sessions?

Automate knowledge-management friction detection by applying a six-phase workflow: drift check, triage, methodology updates, pattern detection, proposal generation, and approval. This turns scattered tensions into structured, actionable guidance with traceable evidence.

How do I generate system change proposals with risk assessments from accumulated session friction?

Generate system change proposals by detecting patterns across triaged items, producing concrete proposals with traceable evidence and risk assessments. This requires aligning the context file, derivation manifest, and methodology notes to ensure safe system evolution.

Does methodology update governance require human approval before applying knowledge loop changes?

Methodology update governance requires human approvals and changelog updates to preserve system integrity. The workflow coordinates approvals after proposal generation, ensuring changes align with the context file and derivation manifest before evolving the methodology.

When should I use pattern detection for triaging tensions instead of ad hoc observation review?

Use pattern detection for triaging tensions during ongoing sessions with accumulating friction or disagreements. It surfaces recurring misalignments across multiple items, enabling structured methodology updates rather than relying on ad hoc observation review.

What context files are needed to align decisions during knowledge-system triage and proposal generation?

Knowledge-system triage and proposal generation require a context file, derivation manifest, and methodology notes to align decisions. These inputs ensure that methodology updates and change requests maintain traceable evidence and safe governance.
