SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of fragmented project memory and inconsistent documentation by enforcing a standardized, branch-specific workflow for tracking progress and handoffs in the animath repository.

Core Features & Use Cases

Branch-Specific Tracking: Automatically partitions progress reports and handoffs by branch to prevent data collisions.
Audit Trail Generation: Creates a structured, timeline-based progress report that serves as the single source of truth for session history.
Use Case: When starting a new feature branch, use this Skill to orient yourself, read the latest handoff, and establish a persistent, auditable record of your development decisions and code changes.

Quick Start

Invoke the start-session skill to initialize your current branch and create a new progress report for your upcoming work.

FAQPage Schema

How do I track git branch-specific progress and handoffs for ongoing development?▼

You can track branch-specific progress by initializing a structured working session that resolves paths based on your current git branch. This generates a standardized progress report that partitions handoffs and prevents data collisions across different features.

What is the best way to maintain project continuity when switching between feature branches?▼

The best way to maintain project continuity is to read existing handoffs and backlog items before starting work. Initializing a branch-aware session creates an append-only audit trail that serves as the single source of truth for your development history.

How do I generate a standardized progress report for a local development session?▼

To generate a standardized progress report, you initiate a session that requires git integration to identify your current branch and local file system access to manage the session logs, ensuring a persistent, auditable record of code changes.

Do I need git integration to track session logs and documentation?▼

Yes, git integration is required to identify the current branch and partition documentation accurately. Local file system access is also necessary to manage the session logs and enforce the append-only documentation practices.

Why does branch-specific tracking prevent data collisions in project documentation?▼

Branch-specific tracking prevents data collisions by automatically partitioning progress reports and handoffs according to the active git branch. This ensures that documentation from one feature branch does not overwrite or conflict with another.

Can I use append-only documentation for tracking development decisions and code changes?▼

Yes, you can enforce append-only documentation practices when starting a structured session. This creates a timeline-based audit trail that records your development decisions and code changes without altering previous entries.
