Workflow
Phase 1: Context Collection
-
Identify PR number/branch
- Use PR number if provided as argument
- Otherwise, find PR from current branch:
gh pr view --json number,body,title - If no PR exists: Prompt user to enter PR number directly or confirm proceeding without PR
-
Extract Plan path
- Find Plan path pattern in PR body:
.hoyeon/specs/{name}/PLAN.md - Regex:
\.hoyeon/specs/[^/]+/PLAN\.md - If no Plan path found: Prompt user to enter spec name directly or select from
.hoyeon/specs/directory listing
- Find Plan path pattern in PR body:
-
Derive Context path
- Extract spec name from Plan path
- Context directory:
.hoyeon/specs/{name}/context/
-
Parallel collection (run following commands simultaneously, skip if files don't exist)
# Context files (treat as empty if not found) cat .hoyeon/specs/{name}/context/learnings.json 2>/dev/null || echo "" cat .hoyeon/specs/{name}/context/decisions.md 2>/dev/null || echo "" cat .hoyeon/specs/{name}/context/issues.json 2>/dev/null || echo "" # PR comments and reviews (collect as JSON for stability) gh pr view {pr_number} --json comments,reviews
Error Handling:
- If no context files exist AND no PR comments → Notify user and request manual input
- At least 1 source required to proceed with document generation
Phase 2: Knowledge Extraction & Classification
2.1 Extract Valuable Feedback from PR Comments
Criteria for valuable feedback:
- Code improvement suggestions
- Bug/issue identification
- Pattern/best practice mentions
- "This would be better" type advice
- Comments left with approval
Filter out:
- Simple questions ("What is this?")
- Confirmation requests ("Is this correct?")
- Approval-only comments ("LGTM", "Approved")
- Bot comments
Extraction keywords:
- "suggest", "recommend", "better", "instead"
- "pattern", "practice", "convention"
- "issue", "bug", "fix"
- "learned", "TIL", "note"
Extracted information:
- author
- body
- file_path (if inline comment)
- created_at
2.2 Analyze Context Files
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
| learnings.json | Structured learnings |
| decisions.md | Decision rationale |
| issues.json | Structured issues |
2.3 Synthesize
- Assess documentation value from collected sources
- Check for duplicates: Search
docs/learnings/ - Classify problem type - Refer to
references/problem-types.md(relative to this skill directory) - Generate tags
Phase 3: Document Generation
-
Generate YAML frontmatter
pr_number: {PR_NUMBER} date: {YYYY-MM-DD} problem_type: {TYPE} tags: [{TAGS}] plan_path: {PLAN_PATH} -
Write document using template
- Template location:
templates/LEARNING_TEMPLATE.md(relative to this skill directory) - Read template and substitute placeholders
- Template location:
-
Determine filename
- Format:
{YYYY-MM-DD}-{short-title}.md - Example:
2024-01-15-api-error-handling.md
- Format:
-
Save
- Path:
docs/learnings/{filename}.md
- Path:
-
Add cross-references (if related documents exist)
- Add new document link to Related section of existing documents
Usage Examples
# Specify PR number
