How does the skill know when to document a solution?

The skill automatically detects confirmation phrases like 'that worked' or 'it's fixed' in the conversation, but it can also be manually triggered using the /doc-fix command.

What happens if a similar problem has already been documented?

The skill performs a Grep search of existing documentation and allows you to choose between creating a new cross-referenced file or updating the existing one.

Where are the documentation files stored?

All documentation is saved as markdown files within your project's local directory, specifically under docs/solutions/, organized by category.

What is the benefit of the YAML validation step?

YAML validation ensures that every piece of documentation contains standardized metadata, making it easier for AI agents and developers to filter and search the knowledge base.
