This is the "compound" step—making future similar work easier. ## Arguments $WORK_COMPLETED: What did you just complete? (project milestone, tricky problem, meeting, workflow improvement, etc.) ## Process ### 1. Reflection Questions Ask the user (or extract from recent work context): 1. **What was the situation?** - Original goal or challenge - Why it was harder than expected (if applicable) 2. **What approach worked?** - Strategy or tactic used - Key decisions made 3. **What would you do differently?** - Gotchas encountered - Better approaches discovered late 4. **What's reusable?** - Patterns that apply elsewhere - Mental models that help ### 2. Create or Update Learning Note Store in: `06-Resources/Learnings/[Category]_Learnings.md` **Categories:** - `Working_Preferences` - How you like to work, communication style, tool preferences - `Mistake_Patterns` - Common errors to avoid, with triggers and corrections Create new category files as needed for domain-specific learnings. ### 3. Learning Entry Format Append to the appropriate file: ```markdown --- ## [Short Title] — [Date] **Context:** [1 sentence on what you were doing] **Challenge:** [What was tricky or non-obvious] **What Worked:** [The approach that succeeded] **Key Insight:** > [The memorable takeaway—something you'd tell past-you] **See Also:** [Related notes if any] ``` ### 4. Cross-Link (Optional) If the learning relates to: - A person → Add to their person page - A project → Add link in project's note - A recurring workflow → Update relevant template ## Output 1. Ask reflection questions (or extract from context) 2. Create/update the appropriate learning file 3. Suggest any cross-links 4. Confirm saved ## Philosophy > "The palest ink is better than the best memory." — Chinese proverb This isn't documentation for others—it's a gift to future-you. Be specific. Include the gotcha. Make it searchable. --- ## Track Usage (Silent) Update `System/usage_log.md` to mark learning capture as used. **Analytics (Silent):** Call `track_event` with event_name `insight_saved` and properties: - category This only fires if the user has opted into analytics. No action needed if it returns "analytics_disabled".
