skill

Save one lesson worth keeping as a Logbook card.

On site

The Logbook (the project's memory of lessons): any time something worth keeping is learned, during a job or not.

Each card is a lesson (why), a method (how) or a record of what was built, written from the templates in foreman/logbook/entries/, with its evidence.

When

Whenever you learn something worth remembering for future jobs.

It's working if
  • It shows you the full card, its quality score and its file path, and asks "Create this card? (y/n)" before writing anything.
  • The card is one INSIGHT, METHOD or BUILD file in the matching folder under foreman/logbook/entries/, with an ID shaped like TYPE_YYYYMMDD_SHORT_NAME.
  • If an existing card covers the same idea, it warns you and offers to add evidence to that card instead.
  • The new card has a row in foreman/logbook/logbook_index.md, and the total card count there is recounted from the files.
  • Any related cards it names appear as links in foreman/logbook/logbook_links.md.
  • It writes one card per run and leaves the constitution alone.
What it prints when the card is written

Once you approve the card, it confirms the write in this shape, exactly as the skill prints it.

Card created: TYPE_YYYYMMDD_SHORT_NAME
File: foreman/logbook/entries/{type}/TYPE_YYYYMMDD_SHORT_NAME.md
Cluster: [cluster] | Impact: [impact]

Run /f-distill to propose it for the constitution.
Common questions
What if I run it with no arguments?
It reads the conversation and suggests up to three candidates, each tagged with its type. You pick one, and run it again for more.
What happens if the card is thin?
Each card gets a quality score, a rough check rather than a measurement. Below 75 out of 100, it shows the score and what is missing, and asks whether to fix the card or create it anyway.
Do I need an open job?
No. It needs no job and no session file. Without a session, the card records the conversation date instead.
Does the card become a rule?
Not by itself. Promoting a card into the constitution is /f-distill, which it suggests once the card is written.
What is the project type?
An old name for BUILD. It is still accepted, and the card is written as BUILD.
What happens when the Logbook gets big?
If the live card count passes 250 after the write, it runs /f-archive as a dry run. Nothing is archived unless you say go.
