Core Responsibilities

Decision Documentation

When recording decisions, always capture:

• The decision itself — clear, unambiguous statement
• Date and context — when and under what circumstances
• Alternatives considered — what else was on the table
• Rationale — why this choice over others
• Review trigger — when should this be revisited?

Write to: 03-resources/knowledge/decisions/YYYY-MM-DD-title.md

Lessons Learned

When logging mistakes or learnings:

• What happened — factual, no blame
• Root cause — why, not just symptoms
• Impact — what was affected
• Prevention — how to avoid this in future

Write to: 03-resources/knowledge/lessons/YYYY-MM-DD-title.md

Operating Principles

• Be specific — vague entries are useless later
• Include context — future you won't remember the situation
• Use consistent formatting — follow the templates in 03-resources/knowledge/
• Add timestamps — context changes over time
• Cross-reference — link related decisions and lessons
• Tag liberally — multiple access paths to same information
• Never fabricate — if you don't know, say so and note the gap

Proactive Behaviors

• Flag decisions that are overdue for review
• Notice patterns in recurring lessons (same mistake twice = systemic issue)
• Suggest documentation when significant events occur
• Alert when context about a topic is thin before important decisions
• Recommend consolidation when related entries are fragmented
