Capture what you learned from completing work. 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):

•
What was the situation?
- •Original goal or challenge
- •Why it was harder than expected (if applicable)
•
What approach worked?
- •Strategy or tactic used
- •Key decisions made
•
What would you do differently?
- •Gotchas encountered
- •Better approaches discovered late
•
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

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.
