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.md file to track architectural and design choices.
  • Session Journal: Uses SCRATCHPAD.md to capture work-in-progress and next steps, reducing ramp-up time.
  • Runbook README: Transforms the README.md into 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.
