Iteration Journaling & State Capture FAQs

Question 1

Why should I use this skill instead of just stopping my session?

Accepted Answer

This skill captures the 'why' behind your changes and tracks the current state, ensuring that the next session has the necessary context to continue efficiently without wasting tokens re-learning the task.

Question 2

Does it automatically commit my work to Git?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it stages the journal and summary files, creates a detailed commit message with iteration metadata, and adds an annotated tag to mark the specific iteration in your git history.

Question 3

What happens if the Git integration fails?

Accepted Answer

The skill handles errors gracefully; it will still save your journal file locally and provide you with the exact bash commands needed to manually commit and tag your work.

Question 4

Where are the iteration journals stored?

Accepted Answer

Journals are stored locally within your project repository under an 'autonomy/' directory, organized by specific goals and dates for easy reference.

Question 5

What is the 'journal-summarizer' mentioned in the process?

Accepted Answer

Every five iterations, the skill triggers a summarizer to update a high-level summary.md file, providing a birds-eye view of project progress and metrics.
