SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Manager rulings and architectural trade-offs made during sessions are lost when conversations end, forcing agents to re-ask the same questions. This Skill extracts those decisions, redacts secrets, and stores them in a searchable personal repository so future sessions can consult past rulings instead of paging the human. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Decision Extraction & Redaction: Extracts candidate decisions from session transcripts, scrubs API keys, tokens, and private IPs, and blocks writes that fail verification. - Consult-Before-Asking: Queries stored rulings and the manager profile to resolve architectural ambiguities without interrupting the manager, logging a replay line for audit lineage. - Gated Profile Evolution: Compiles aggregated decisions into a draft manager profile that only merges after explicit human approval, with rejections recorded as new decisions. - Use Case: After a manager rules on a QA gate retry policy in one session, a later session facing the same ambiguity queries the decision store, retrieves the verbatim ruling, and decides without contacting the manager. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to extract and record the manager's decisions from the current session transcript, then query past rulings before asking the manager anything new.

FAQPage Schema
How do I capture manager decisions from a session automatically?▼

Call extract_session_decisions with the task id to pull candidate rulings from the session transcript, then record_manager_decision persists each scrubbed record after explicit manager approval. Extraction is automatic on task close, but persistence always requires the human confirm gate.

How to query past manager rulings before asking the human?▼

Use query_manager_decisions with your question and an optional category to retrieve ranked past rulings with verbatim quotes and rationale. If no usable ruling matches, escalate to the manager with the exact query you tried rather than inventing an answer.

Does the decision store redact API keys and secrets?▼

Yes, every free-text field passes through sanitize_text and verify_clean before any write. Records containing API keys, bearer tokens, private IPs, or credential assignments are blocked with an error and never persisted.

Can agents push or edit the decision repository directly?▼

No, agents only write local records; commits and pushes are manager-owned under the zero-autonomous-commit rule. The store is append-only, so corrections and retractions are new tombstone records, never edits to history.

What happens when the personal decision repo is unreachable?▼

Writes fail closed with a loud error so nothing is recorded on unknown state, while reads still serve the stale local cache with a warning. The per-project store acts as a write-through cache and offline fallback, never the authoritative source.
