FAQPage Schema

How do I automate coding workflows using stenographic shorthand commands?▼

Stenographic shorthand commands automate coding workflows by interpreting short patterns to explore, create, and modify codebases, reducing cognitive load during interactive development tasks across files and sessions.

Can I manage git branching and session history with a graph-based model?▼

Branching and session management use a graph-based model in .steno/graph.json to track interactive development work across branches and bookmarks.

How do I export transcripts for coding session documentation?▼

Transcript-linked workflow exports provide documentation and reproducibility by recording stenographic commands and session activities for automated coding workflows.

What are the basic stenography commands for exploring and creating code?▼

Basic stenography commands include dx:@path/to/file to explore files and mk:api +feature to create new API skeletons for fast execution of coding tasks.

Do I need specific dependencies to use stenography for coding automation?▼

No specific dependencies are required to use stenography for coding automation, as the skill operates independently to interpret shorthand commands and manage session data.

How does stenographic shorthand reduce cognitive load during development?▼

Stenographic shorthand reduces cognitive load by replacing verbose commands with fast, interpretable patterns that automate file exploration, creation, and modification within active sessions.
