Knowledge Capture Skill

Purpose

Transform solved problems into reusable team knowledge. This skill ensures every problem your team solves makes future similar problems easier to solve. Used in the Compound phase of the spec-driven workflow (Phase 6) and can be called independently after completing any project or solving any significant issue.

Core Philosophy

Compounding Engineering: Each unit of work should make future work easier. When you solve a problem, document it. When the next person encounters a similar problem, they solve it 10x faster. Over time, your knowledge base becomes your competitive advantage.

When to Use

• After workflows complete (recommend after /ai-eng/review)
• After solving production incidents
• After implementing complex features
• When discovering unintuitive patterns
• When fixing the same type of bug twice
