SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps preserve important repository knowledge when a significant pattern, pitfall, or correction is discovered during a session, so future work can move faster and avoid repeating the same investigation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Capture Major Learnings: Record non-obvious constraints, recurring bugs, and architectural rules that are valuable beyond the current task.
  • Choose the Right Home: Decide whether the insight belongs in an existing learning, a new instruction, or a standalone skill.
  • Reusable Documentation: Create or update skill files with clear guidance, concrete examples, and a description that makes future invocation obvious.
  • Use Case: If a debugging session reveals a repeated failure mode in a specific subsystem, this Skill is used to preserve that knowledge in a durable, searchable form.

Quick Start

Use the update-skills skill to capture this recurring repository pitfall as a reusable learning and place it in the most appropriate skill or instruction file.

FAQPage Schema
How do I capture repository learnings so future debugging sessions can reuse them?▼

To capture repository learnings, you record non-obvious constraints, recurring bugs, and architectural rules as concise, actionable guidance with concrete examples. This ensures important repository knowledge persists beyond a single debugging session for future reuse.

When should I document debugging pitfalls as reusable instructions?▼

Document debugging pitfalls as reusable instructions when a significant pattern, recurring failure mode, or correction is discovered. This preserves valuable architectural constraints and domain knowledge that should persist beyond the current investigation.

How do I choose the right destination file for a new learning or instruction?▼

Choosing the right destination file requires deciding whether the insight belongs in an existing learning, a new instruction, or a standalone skill file. This ensures repository knowledge is placed in a durable, searchable form for future invocation.

What is the best way to write skill files for recurring architectural constraints?▼

The best way to write skill files for recurring architectural constraints is to create or update files with clear guidance, concrete examples, and a description that makes future invocation obvious. This captures reusable learnings effectively.

Does writing repository knowledge into instructions work for non-obvious pitfalls?▼

Writing repository knowledge into instructions works for non-obvious pitfalls by preserving the discovered correction in a durable format. This prevents future sessions from repeating the same investigation when encountering similar failure modes.
