System Documentation
What problem does it solve?
This Skill combats "context bankruptcy" by integrating documentation practices directly into the development workflow, ensuring code remains understandable and maintainable long-term.
Core Features & Use Cases
- "Why" Comments: Enforces comments that explain the reasoning behind code, not just its function.
- Decision Log: Maintains a
DECISIONS.mdfile to track architectural and design choices. - Session Journal: Uses
SCRATCHPAD.mdto capture work-in-progress and next steps, reducing ramp-up time. - Runbook README: Transforms the
README.mdinto an operational guide for quick setup and deployment. - Use Case: When you return to a complex piece of code after a few months, you can quickly understand the original intent and decisions made, preventing costly rework or misunderstandings.
Quick Start
When you finish a coding session, update the SCRATCHPAD.md file with your progress and next steps.
