| name | autology-workflow |
| description | Use after significant project actions — commit, push, PR — or when the team settles on how to build or operate the system: a technology choice, a process, a rule, or a standard. Running close to the action keeps captured knowledge more accurate and complete. |
Overview
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.
Trigger Points
[Action completed] After commit/push/PR or decision/convention discovered
/autology:triage-knowledge — context triage: analyze action, return classified list + topology hints
- In parallel from the same triage result:
- Existing items → batch
/autology:sync-knowledge (use topology hints to verify connected nodes too)
- New items → batch
/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":
- commit, push, PR created
- "decided", "chose", "always", "never", "the rule is", any architectural choice
autology-workflow just completed (skip — do not re-trigger):
- triage-knowledge, sync-knowledge, or capture-knowledge just ran
- docs/*.md file was just written or edited
Flow
Action → triage → sync (existing) + capture (new) → done
Common Mistakes
| 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 |
