SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates the identification and promotion of usable knowledge from Initiative research artifacts into the knowledge vault.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Knowledge promotion: Applies a decision tree to select artifacts for promotion into vault/knowledge.
  • Audit-ready outputs: Writes promoted knowledge with metadata and updates indices.
  • Use Case: When completing an Initiative, the system extracts findings and registers reusable knowledge for future projects.

Quick Start

Initiate the knowledge extraction to promote reusable findings from a given Initiative repository.

Frequently Asked Questions about extract-knowledge

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract reusable knowledge from research artifacts?▼

Knowledge promotion scans Initiative research artifacts and applies a decision tree to decide which items should be elevated to vault, studies, or references categories.

What is a knowledge promotion decision tree for research artifacts?▼

A knowledge promotion decision tree evaluates Initiative research artifacts to determine which findings should be elevated to the knowledge vault and registered for reuse in future projects.

How do I automate indexing and logging for promoted knowledge?▼

Automating indexing and logging happens during knowledge promotion by writing frontmatter to promoted artifacts, updating index files, and recording an activity log for audit-ready outputs.

Can I add frontmatter to research artifacts automatically when completing an Initiative?▼

Yes, the knowledge extraction process writes frontmatter to promoted artifacts automatically during Initiative completion, adding metadata alongside updated index files and activity logs.

When do I need to promote findings into a knowledge vault?▼

You need to promote findings into a knowledge vault when an Initiative is completing and you want to register reusable research findings and artifacts for future projects.

What's the best way to keep a knowledge vault updated with new Initiative research?▼

The best way to keep a knowledge vault updated is to trigger knowledge extraction at Initiative completion, letting the decision tree select findings and automatically write metadata and update indices.
