Engineering Historian

Agent skill
1 skill

Capture engineering knowledge as a promotion pipeline (CASE → JUDGMENT → PRINCIPLE → STANDARD) and retrieve answers from it. Capture is automatic — a post-session sweep drafts cases with status:auto; the user reviews them at /distill. Use whenever the user types "/history", "/case", or "/distill", says "log this session", "wrap up and record", "capture this decision", or ends a working session where decisions, deployments, debugging, or configuration happened. ALSO use for retrieval whenever the user asks about their own past work or rules — "how did I deploy X", "why did I stop using Y", "what did we decide about Z", "do we have a rule/standard for W" — by searching the knowledge/ vault (standards first, then principles, then cases) before answering from general knowledge. Every retrieval must be logged to the retrieval log.
