SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Spec-index prevents repeated investigation and lost institutional knowledge by turning one-off discoveries—decisions, setup gotchas, root causes, fixes, and patterns—into durable, searchable project memory that agents and developers can retrieve during planning, correction, and onboarding.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Deterministic local Markdown indexing and retrieval with a canonical entry template for consistent capture.
  • A Python helper (scripts/index.py) offering add, search, audit, and rebuild commands to keep the knowledge base synchronized and auditable.
  • Repository-aware behavior: obeys a repository root SPEC.md when present and falls back to built-in defaults (docs/knowledge-base, references/template.md).
  • Use cases: surface prior fixes when debugging failing CI, capture validated root causes after a triage session, onboard new contributors with consolidated setup rules, or audit and clean weak or duplicate entries.

Quick Start

Use spec-index to search for prior entries about authentication 401 errors in the API component and return concise takeaways and recommended next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions about spec-index

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I save and retrieve reusable project knowledge for debugging and onboarding?▼

Maintain searchable project memory by indexing Markdown entries for decisions and root causes. You retrieve these fix patterns during debugging or onboarding to prevent repeated investigation and lost institutional knowledge.

What is the best way to audit and clean weak or duplicate entries in a local knowledge base?▼

Audit a local knowledge base using a Python helper script offering deterministic add, search, audit, and rebuild commands. This synchronizes Markdown entries and enables cleaning weak or duplicate records during knowledge audits.

How does spec-index handle repository-aware configurations for storing Markdown memory?▼

Spec-index applies repository-aware behavior by obeying a root SPEC.md override when present. It otherwise falls back to built-in defaults using a normalized Markdown template and a local knowledge-base directory for consistent capture.

Can I use a Python script to index and search root causes and fix patterns in software repositories?▼

Yes, you use the included Python helper script to perform deterministic add and search operations. It indexes local Markdown files containing root causes and fix patterns, enabling quick retrieval for agentic workflows and software repositories.

When do I need to capture validated root causes during a triage session?▼

Capture validated root causes when finishing a triage session or debugging a failing CI pipeline to prevent lost institutional knowledge. Turning these one-off discoveries into searchable Markdown entries stops repeated investigation later.
