david.delagneau 1ad707373a Add daily logs and templates for project fidelity
- Created daily log entries for May 13, 14, 18, 19, 20, and 21, capturing work done, findings, and next steps.
- Established a daily logs index for easy navigation of daily notes.
- Developed templates for daily logs, decisions, meeting notes, people, systems, and work items to standardize documentation.
- Introduced base files for filtering and displaying various types of project knowledge, including daily notes, decisions, people, systems, work items, and workstreams.
- Added maps for current work, fidelity apps, and fidelity domain to enhance project navigation and context.

Context Maintenance

Goal

Keep this workspace useful as living memory instead of a pile of disconnected notes.


Stable Rules

  • Update canonical context when a durable fact changes.
  • Prefer correcting stale context over appending contradictory notes.
  • Keep workspaces/fidelity/project-knowledge/ human-facing and project-facing: write it as an engineer maintaining shared project notes, not as an AI maintaining its own operating instructions.
  • Do not place agent-only logic, output contracts, prompting tactics, evaluation heuristics, or command-behavior rules in workspaces/fidelity/project-knowledge/ unless a human engineer on the project would reasonably want that exact guidance there.
  • Put agent behavior, prompt logic, formatting contracts, and slash-command rules in agent-memory/, .opencode/commands/, prompts/, .opencode/agents/, or .agents/skills/ instead of workspaces/fidelity/project-knowledge/.
  • If a canonical note appears in an Obsidian Base, update its frontmatter properties together with the prose content.
  • When changing frontmatter properties on existing canonical notes, prefer Obsidian CLI property operations through scripts/obsidian/cli.sh when available so YAML spacing and property formatting stay clean; fall back to direct Markdown edits only when the CLI is unavailable or the operation is unsupported.
  • Keep templates under workspaces/fidelity/project-knowledge/09-templates/ out of real-note Bases by filtering the template folder.
  • Role mapping files should not use type: person; reserve type: person for actual people profiles.
  • Work-item notes should keep known systems, workstreams, people, and related properties current.
  • Daily notes should keep focus, work-items, and blockers properties current when the values are clear.
  • Use the smallest correct destination:
    • workspaces/fidelity/project-knowledge/06-daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md for daily progress and evolving findings
    • workspaces/fidelity/project-knowledge/01-current/current-work.md for near-term active work
    • workspaces/fidelity/project-knowledge/02-work-items/*.md for canonical Jira-linked active work
    • workspaces/fidelity/project-knowledge/01-current/work-items.md for the compact active-work summary
    • workspaces/fidelity/project-knowledge/03-context/ for durable project knowledge
    • workspaces/fidelity/project-knowledge/04-people/ for named person context
    • .opencode/commands/, prompts/, .opencode/agents/, .agents/skills/, agent-memory/, core/, or scripts/ for reusable behavior rules that control how the workspace responds

Ingestion Rules

  • Treat Mattermost, Slack history, and direct prompts as potential memory sources.
  • Treat learning sessions as durable-understanding sessions, not status refreshes.
  • In learning sessions, prioritize architecture, ownership, release mechanics, debugging strategy, domain concepts, and process rules.
  • Avoid promoting transient ticket status from learning sessions unless it exposes a reusable rule.
  • Do not promote failed syncs or tooling errors as project facts.
  • Promote repeated durable patterns from historical archives into stable context when confidence is high.
  • Keep old status-only details archive-only unless they still change current understanding.
  • Treat user corrections about command output, prompt structure, memory handling, or agent behavior as inputs to the operational surface, not just as daily notes.

Curation Rule

  • If a new stable context file is added, keep project.md and index.md aligned so future sessions can discover it quickly.
  • If a new rule affects a slash command or reusable prompt, update that command or prompt directly so the behavior changes on the next run.
