How does the skill handle file naming?

It uses a specific timestamp-based format for reports (YYYY.MM.DD_HH.mm_commit_TYPE_subject.md) and type-based naming for living guides (TYPE_subject.md) to ensure chronological sorting and clarity.

Why is YAML frontmatter required in this system?

YAML frontmatter provides structured metadata (version, status, audience, level) that makes documentation easily searchable and categorizable by both developers and AI tools.

What is the difference between evolving and event-based documents?

Evolving documents like GUIDEs are 'living' files updated over time to reflect current state, while event-based documents like SESSION or INCIDENT reports are immutable snapshots of specific events.

What document templates are included in this methodology?

It provides structures for Incident reports, Session logs, Technical Guides, Audits, Research (Recherche), Recommendations, Migrations, Performance analysis, and Security audits.

Content Management

Organizes repository documentation using a standardized methodology for file naming, folder structure, and technical document templates.

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for maintaining high-quality repository documentation by distinguishing between evolving 'living' documents and event-based 'snapshots.' It enforces strict naming conventions, YAML metadata standards, and provides specialized templates for various technical tasks—such as incident reports, migration logs, and architectural guides. By implementing these standards, teams ensure their documentation remains searchable, traceable, and actionable for both human developers and LLMs.
