## About

# mstar-compound（知识结晶）

## Load order

**Read `mstar-harness-core` first.** Path symbols (`{KNOWLEDGE_DIR}`, `{HARNESS_DIR}`) → **`mstar-plan-conventions`**. On conflict, **`mstar-harness-core` wins**.

## Purpose

After solving a non-trivial problem, `mstar-compound` captures the learning as a structured document in `{KNOWLEDGE_DIR}`, so future plan research, debugging, and implementation can find and reuse it.

**In the mstar lifecycle**, compound is triggered at iteration-close (`mstar-iteration` § Phase 3), not per-plan Done. It can also be invoked standalone for ad-hoc captures outside formal iterations.

Knowledge that isn't captured evaporates when the session ends. Knowledge that is captured but not discoverable is equally lost. This skill addresses both.

## 产物存储位置

**SSOT**: `mstar-plan-conventions/references/artifact-storage-paths.md`。本 skill 不重定义路径；知识文档 → `{HARNESS_DIR}/knowledge//.md`，CONCEPTS.md → `/CONCEPTS.md`。`` 取值见 `references/category-mapping.md`。

## 是否值得结晶（自检门禁）

调用本 skill 前，PM（或触发方）**必须**对候选问题逐条自检 Q1–Q8（诊断耗时 / 非显而易见性 / 可复用性 / 项目特异性 / 既有重叠 / 架构影响 / 失败尝试价值 / 跨模块）。完整问题表、决策矩阵（Yes≥4 强烈建议；Yes=3 Lightweight；Yes≤2 跳过；Q5=Yes 高重叠不新建）与示例判定 → **`references/compound-workflow.md`**「是否值得结晶」。

**快判**：Q5 高重叠 → 更新已有文档，**不新建**；其余按决策矩阵 Yes 数。

## Integration with mstar lifecycle

Compound 在迭代收口时触发（`mstar-iteration` § iteration-close），不在 per-plan Done 后单独执行：`iteration-start → [plan lifecycle × N] → iteration-close → mstar-compound（per-iteration round）→ {KNOWLEDGE_DIR} → feeds next iteration's specify/plan`。迭代内所有 plan Done 后，PM 回顾整轮迭代可结晶知识，批量 compound。per-plan Done 是 per-plan 闭环终点；compound 是迭代级收口活动。

### Iteration package promotion（iteration-close 强制盘点）

正式迭代收口时，compound **除** plan 实现/debug/review 素材外，**必须**盘点当前迭代 package。

**路径**：`{ITERATION_DIR}//**`（含 `guides/`、`specs/`、扁平 `.md`；**默认排除** `delivery-compass.md` 除非 PM 显式纳入。Legacy 根目录 `*-delivery-compass.md` 同理排除）。

| 步骤 | 动作 |
|------|------|
| 1. Inventory | 列出 package 下全部 `.md`（除默认排除 compass）；读各文件 + package `README.md`（若有） |
| 2. Triage | 每篇：**Promote** / **Keep snapshot** / **Skip**（理由写入 compound 摘要） |
| 3. Promote | 值得跨迭代复用 → 走 Q1–Q8（或轻量判定）→ Phase 2 重叠检测 → Phase 3–6 **结构化重写**进 `{KNOWLEDGE_DIR}/`（**禁止**无改写整文件复制） |
| 4. Trace | 源文件顶栏或 package README：`Promoted to: `；`{KNOWLEDGE_DIR}/README.md` 的 Source 可记 `iteration:/` |
| 5. Summary | PM 写入 compass `## Compound Round Summary`：提升篇数、保留快照、跳过及原因 |

**Promote 典型**：迭代 spec 已验证且指导未来实现；guide 含非显而易见过程知识或失败尝试。**Keep snapshot**：仅迭代史、已被 `{SPECS_DIR}/` 取代的草案、或自检 ≤2 Yes 的琐碎笔记。边界 SSOT → **`mstar-iteration/references/iteration-artifact-boundaries.md`**。

## When to use / Skip

**Use**：迭代收口（`mstar-iteration` § iteration-close）批量回顾；独立触发（非迭代或紧急，任何非平凡问题解决后）；重大 bug 修复后（`mstar-iteration` 未启用时手动）。

**Skip**：自检 ≤2 Yes；Q5 高重叠（更新已有而非新建）；纯机械工作（格式化、依赖升级、typo）；问题未经验证。

## Two tracks

| Track | What it captures | Section structure |
|-------|-----------------|-------------------|
| **Bug** | Incident-level fix — "X broke, here's why and how we fixed it" | Problem, Symptoms, What Didn't Work, Solution, Why This Works, Prevention |
| **Knowledge** | Durable guidance — "this is how we do X, and why" | Context, Guidance, Why This Matters, When to Apply, Examples |

Track 由 `problem_type` 决定，完整映射见 `references/category-mapping.md`。

## Execution modes

| Mode | When | Behavior |
|------|------|----------|
| **Full** (default) | Most cases | Dispatches research subagents for context analysis, solution extraction, overlap detection |
| **Lightweight** | Simple fixes, context-tight sessions | Single-pass documentation, no subagents, faster |

In Cursor, Full mode dispatches subagents via Task tool. PM selects mode.

## Workflow skeleton（Phase 1–7）

完整步骤细节（Gather context / Overlap detection / Write document 含 frontmatter schema + path + validate / Discoverability check / CONCEPTS.md synergy / Update indexes / Refresh trigger）→ **`references/compound-workflow.md`**。每 Phase 一个关键决策：

1. **Gather** — 读对话史 + iteration package；分类 track/category（`references/category-mapping.md`）
2. **Overlap** — 高重叠 → 更新已有（加 `last_updated`）；中度 → 新建并标 consolidation review；低/无 → 正常新建
3. **Write** — path + frontmatter（SSOT `references/schema.yaml`）+ body（`assets/resolution-template.md`）+ YAML validate
4. **Discoverability** — 若 root `AGENTS.md`/`CLAUDE.md` 未提 `{KNOWLEDGE_DIR}`，提议最小补充（需用户同意；拒绝则仅跳过该编辑，doc 仍写）
5. **CONCEPTS.md** — 项目特定领域词满足 qualifying bar 时提议入 `CONCEPTS.md`（规则见 `references/concepts-vocabulary.md`）；全仓 bootstrap 归 `mstar-compound-refresh`
6. **Indexes** — `{KNOWLEDGE_DIR}/README.md` 加行（Document / Source Plan / Description / Status）；可选 `status.json` `knowledge_refs`。**iteration-close gate**：每篇新 doc 必须 Phase 6
7. **Refresh trigger** — 新知识暗示旧 doc 过时 → 推荐 `/pm compound-refresh `（不自动跑，仅 flag）

> **Engine check (when available):** run `mstar compound validate  [--knowledge-dir ]` (or `import { validateSchemaYaml, assertIndexRows } from "@mstar-harness/engine"` in a host hook) to validate the frontmatter against `references/schema.yaml` (Phase 3 Write) and assert every doc has its `{KNOWLEDGE_DIR}/README.md` index row (Phase 6 Indexes). On `fail` -> do not proceed; fix and re-run. Skill text below remains authoritative when the runtime is absent.

## Support files

读 `references/compound-workflow.md`（Q1–Q8 + Phase 1–7）、`references/schema.yaml`（frontmatter）、`references/category-mapping.md`（track/path 映射）、`references/concepts-vocabulary.md`（CONCEPTS.md 规则）、`assets/resolution-template.md`（track 正文结构）。

## Skill dependencies

- **`mstar-plan-conventions`** — path symbols（`{KNOWLEDGE_DIR}`、`{HARNESS_DIR}`）
- **`mstar-plan-artifacts`** — `status.json` linking、index maintenance
- **`mstar-compound-refresh`** — capture 后知识维护；CONCEPTS.md 全仓 bootstrap

## NOT to do

- Do not create a doc for trivial fixes (typos, formatting, dep bumps)
- Do not write the doc before the solution is verified
- Do not skip the overlap check — creating duplicates degrades the knowledge store
- Do not edit AGENTS.md without user consent
- Do not create CONCEPTS.md entries for general programming vocabulary
- Do not modify product code — this skill writes documentation only
