Route to the right autology skill after significant actions. Knowledge captured close to the action is more accurate and complete — this workflow keeps docs/ in sync with what actually happened.
/autology:triage-knowledge — context triage: analyze action, return classified list + topology hints/autology:sync-knowledge (use topology hints to verify connected nodes too)/autology:capture-knowledge (use suggested relations from hints to add wikilinks)If triage returns only new items (no existing matches), skip sync — capture runs alone. If triage returns only existing items (nothing new), skip capture — sync runs alone.
Signals for "action completed":
autology-workflow just completed (skip — do not re-trigger):
Action → triage → sync (existing) + capture (new) → done
| Mistake | Fix | |---------|-----| | sync/capture without triage first | Without triage + hints, risk duplicates or missing nodes | | Ignore topology hints in sync/capture | Use connected/suggested relations to strengthen wikilinks | | Only capture when user says "remember" | Self-discovered conventions are also capture targets |
development
Use after significant actions (commits, decisions, refactors) or when asked to triage changes — classifies knowledge items as existing or new and provides topology hints for sync and capture.
development
Use when existing autology docs/ nodes need syncing or updating — when a doc is out of date after a code change, after refactors, when triage identifies existing nodes to verify, or for periodic full audits. Not for new items (use capture) or knowledge questions (use explore).
development
Use whenever the user asks about this project's decisions, architecture, conventions, or how something works in this codebase — do NOT answer from general knowledge, always look it up in docs/. Trigger on questions like "why did we choose X?", "how does Y work here?", "what's our convention for Z?", "what docs reference X?", or any question about this project's specific choices. Also use for explicit /autology:explore-knowledge commands (overview, neighborhood, path). Searches docs/, follows wikilinks, and synthesizes grounded answers from the knowledge base.
testing
Use to permanently record a project decision, convention, pattern, or known issue into the knowledge base (docs/) — triggers on explicit save intent ("remember this", "save this", "document this"), decision or convention announcements ("we decided", "settled on", "the rule is"), or triage output classifying new items to capture. Distinct from conversational memory — this writes to docs/.
