SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

## What problem does it solve? The memento-summary skill captures and structures critical decisions, problems, constraints, and context from an AI coding session to produce evidence for the Knowledge Distillery refinement pipeline.

## Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured seven-section summaries for sessions, including Decisions Made, Problems Encountered, Constraints Identified, Open Questions, Context, Recorded Decisions, and Vault Entries Referenced.
  • Git-note integration: writes the summary as a git note on refs/notes/commits for later consumption by the refinement pipeline.
  • Use Case: after an AI coding session or post-commit hook to generate verifiable evidence.

### Quick Start Run the memento-summary tool after a session to generate a structured git-note summary.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create structured git notes from an AI coding session?▼

You can create structured git notes from an AI coding session by consolidating decisions, problems, and context into a seven-section summary stored on refs/notes/commits. This captures verifiable evidence for downstream refinement pipelines.

What is the best way to track AI coding decisions in git?▼

Tracking AI coding decisions in git involves writing structured session summaries as git notes containing decisions, constraints, and open questions. This enforces a deterministic seven-section format with YAML frontmatter for reliable downstream loading.

Can I generate session summaries automatically on git commit hooks?▼

Yes, you can generate session summaries automatically on git commit hooks. Applying the summarization process post-commit captures decisions and context immediately, writing the structured evidence directly to refs/notes/commits.

How does writing decisions to refs/notes/commits work for knowledge distillation?▼

Writing decisions to refs/notes/commits works for knowledge distillation by attaching structured YAML frontmatter summaries to specific commits. This provides deterministic, verifiable evidence that a refinement pipeline can load and process downstream.

What sections are required for a structured AI coding session summary?▼

A structured AI coding session summary requires seven specific sections: Decisions Made, Problems Encountered, Constraints Identified, Open Questions, Context, Recorded Decisions, and Vault Entries Referenced.

Do I need any external dependencies to write structured git notes for traceability?▼

No external dependencies are required to write structured git notes for traceability. The process operates independently to consolidate session context and store it within the existing git notes infrastructure.
