Compound Docs

About

Compound Docs automates the creation of institutional knowledge by documenting technical solutions immediately after a problem is resolved. It follows a rigorous 7-step capture process that ensures every entry includes critical context like root causes, exact error messages, and verified fixes. By enforcing YAML schema validation and category-based organization, it builds a high-quality, searchable repository of 'briefs' that prevents future regressions and helps teams learn from past debugging sessions.

Key Features

• Structured documentation templates for root causes and prevention steps
• Automatic detection of problem resolution through conversation context
• Category-based file organization for efficient knowledge retrieval
• Cross-referencing logic to link related issues and detect recurring patterns
• Enforcement of validated YAML frontmatter for consistent metadata
• 2,997 GitHub stars

Use Cases

• Documenting complex debugging sessions to prevent future team members from hitting the same wall
• Tracking institutional knowledge across different modules of a large-scale software project
• Building a repository of 'Critical Patterns' for code generation subagents to follow
