    Sample input

    We're a 20-person engineering team losing context on why we chose our current DB. Design a decision log system for us.

    Sample output

    I've designed a Lightweight Decision Log system for your 20-person team:

    1. Tool: GitHub ADRs (Architecture Decision Records).
    2. Template: Status, Context, Decision, Consequences.
    3. Trigger: Any PR changing infra must link an ADR.
    4. Visibility: Auto-post to #eng-news.

    About This Skill

    Every time a key person leaves, a company loses years of context. This skill designs the knowledge architecture that prevents it: audits what knowledge exists, where it lives and who holds it, builds a documentation structure people actually use, designs the onboarding path for new hires, and creates a wiki governance framework with clear ownership. Returns a knowledge audit map, information architecture spec, onboarding curriculum, and a retention risk assessment by role. Specify your org size, remote vs co-located split and current tools — it designs for your actual situation, not an imaginary one.

    Use Cases

    • Design Architecture Decision Record (ADR) workflows for engineering teams.
    • Create expertise maps to identify and bridge knowledge silos.
    • Build automated 'Lessons Learned' templates for post-sprint reviews.
    • Audit existing documentation to identify critical information gaps.
    • Develop structured taxonomy and tagging systems for company wikis.
