70
+ ## The Problem
71
+
72
+ You're pairing with AI on real work. Hours of debugging, wrong turns, "oh shit" moments, and hard-won insights—all vanishing into chat history the moment you close the tab.
73
+
74
+ Meanwhile, your AI agent makes the same mistakes on similar problems because it has no memory of what you learned together.
75
+
76
+ ## The Solution
77
+
78
+ **buildlog** captures the signal from AI-assisted development sessions and transforms it into:
79
+
80
+ 1. **Publishable content** - Each entry is a $500+ tutorial draft
81
+ 2. **Structured insights** - Categorized learnings ready for analysis
82
+ 3. **Agent rules** - Deduplicated, confidence-scored rules that improve AI behavior

+ ## Key Concepts
101
+
102
+ | Term | What it means |
103
+ |------|---------------|
104
+ | **Entry** | A structured markdown file documenting one work session |
105
+ | **Insight** | A single learning extracted from an entry's Improvements section |
106
+ | **Pattern** | Raw insights grouped by category (architectural, workflow, etc.) |
107
+ | **Rule** | Deduplicated insight with stable ID, confidence score, and source tracking |
108
+ | **Agent Skill** | Rules promoted to `.claude/skills/` for on-demand loading by Claude |
109
+
110
+ ---
111
+
112
+ ## Features
113
+
114
+ ### Structured Capture
115
+ Templates with six required sections ensure you never forget to document the mistakes that teach the most.
116
+
117
+ ### Pattern Distillation
118
+ Extract categorized insights from all your entries into structured JSON/YAML for analysis.
119
+
120
+ ### Semantic Deduplication
121
+ "Run tests before commit" and "Always execute the test suite prior to committing" are the same insight. buildlog merges them.
122
+
123
+ ### Confidence Scoring
124
+ Rules are scored based on frequency and recency. High-confidence rules have been reinforced multiple times recently.
125
+
126
+ ### Multiple Promotion Targets
127
+ Promote rules to CLAUDE.md, settings.json, or **Anthropic Agent Skills** (`.claude/skills/`) for on-demand loading.
128
+
129
+ ### Pluggable Embeddings
130
+ Token-based similarity by default. Upgrade to sentence-transformers or OpenAI for semantic understanding.
131
+

133
+
134
+ ## Quick Start
135
+
136
+ ```bash
137
+ # Install
138
+ pip install buildlog
139
+
140
+ # Initialize in your project
141
+ buildlog init
142
+
143
+ # Create an entry for today's work
144
+ buildlog new auth-api
145
+
146
+ # After a few entries, extract patterns
147
+ buildlog distill
148
+
149
+ # Generate deduplicated rules
150
+ buildlog skills
151
+ ```
152
+
153

154
+
155
+ ## The Pipeline
156
+
157
+ buildlog is a three-stage pipeline that transforms ephemeral work into durable knowledge:
158
+
159
+ ```mermaid
160
+ flowchart TB
161
+ subgraph Stage1["Stage 1: Capture"]
162
+ A1["buildlog new slug"] --> A2["Edit markdown entry"]
163
+ A2 --> A3["Document: Goal, Journey,<br/>Tests, Code, Improvements"]
164
+ end
165

167

168

169

170
+ end
171

173
+ C1["buildlog skills"] --> C2["Deduplicate similar insights"]
174
+ C2 --> C3["Calculate confidence scores"]
175
+ C3 --> C4["Generate stable IDs"]
176
+ C4 --> C5["Promote to target"]
177
+ end
178

179

180
+
181
+ C5 --> D1["CLAUDE.md"]
182
+ C5 --> D2["settings.json"]
183
+ C5 --> D3[".claude/skills/"]
184
+ ```
185
+
186
+ ### Stage 1: Capture (`buildlog new`)
187
+
188
+ Create structured entries as you work. Each entry has six sections:
189
+
190
+ | Section | Purpose |
191
+ |---------|---------|
192
+ | **The Goal** | What you're building and why |
193
+ | **What We Built** | Architecture diagram, components |
194
+ | **The Journey** | Chronological narrative *including mistakes* |
195
+ | **Test Results** | Actual commands, actual outputs |
196
+ | **Code Samples** | Key snippets with context |
197
+ | **Improvements** | Categorized learnings for next time |
198
+
199
+ The **Improvements** section is structured for machine extraction:
200
+
201
+ ```markdown
202
+ ### Architectural
203
+ - Always validate inputs at the boundary, not conditionally
204
+ - Use frozen dataclasses for immutable data containers
205
+
206
+ ### Workflow
207
+ - Run the test suite after EVERY code change, not just at the end
208
+ - Write the integration test first to clarify the API contract
209
+
210
+ ### Tool Usage
211
+ - The `patch` context manager for date mocking is cleaner than fixtures
212
+ - Use `jwt.io` to decode tokens instead of console.log
213
+
214
+ ### Domain Knowledge
215
+ - `datetime.utcnow()` is deprecated in Python 3.12+
216
+ - Supabase storage returns 400, not 404, for missing files
217
+ ```
218
+
219
+ ### Stage 2: Distill (`buildlog distill`)
220
+
221
+ Extract all insights across entries into structured data:
222
+
223
+ ```bash
224
+ buildlog distill # JSON to stdout
225
+ buildlog distill -o patterns.yaml # Write to file
226
+ buildlog distill --since 2026-01-01 # Filter by date
227
+ buildlog distill --category workflow # Filter by category
228
+ ```
229
+
230
+ Output:
231
+ ```json
232
+ {
233
+ "patterns": {
234
+ "architectural": [
235
+ {"insight": "Always validate inputs at boundary...", "source": "2026-01-16-auth.md"}
236
+ ],
237
+ "workflow": [...],
238
+ "tool_usage": [...],
239
+ "domain_knowledge": [...]
240
+ },
241
+ "statistics": {
242
+ "total_patterns": 47,
243
+ "by_category": {"architectural": 12, "workflow": 15, ...}
244
+ }
245
+ }
246
+ ```
247
+
248
+ ### Stage 3: Generate Rules (`buildlog skills`)
249
+
250
+ Transform raw patterns into deduplicated, scored rules:
251
+
252
+ ```bash
253
+ buildlog skills # YAML to stdout
254
+ buildlog skills -o rules.yml # Write to file
255
+ buildlog skills --format markdown # For CLAUDE.md injection
256
+ buildlog skills --min-frequency 2 # Only repeated patterns
257
+ buildlog skills --embeddings openai # Semantic deduplication
258
+ ```
259
+
260
+ Output:
261
+ ```yaml
262
+ generated_at: '2026-01-16T12:00:00Z'
263
+ source_entries: 23
264
+ total_skills: 31
265
+ skills:
266
+ architectural:
267
+ - id: arch-b0fcb62a1e
268
+ rule: Always validate inputs at the boundary, not conditionally
269
+ frequency: 4
270
+ confidence: high
271
+ sources: [auth.md, api.md, validation.md, forms.md]
272
+ tags: [api, error]
273
+ - id: arch-0cda924aeb
274
+ rule: Frozen dataclasses should be the default for data containers
275
+ frequency: 2
276
+ confidence: medium
277
+ sources: [models.md, dto.md]
278
+ tags: [python]
279
+ ```
280
+
281
+ ---
282
+
283
+ ## Patterns vs Rules
284
+
285
+ **Patterns** are raw extractions—every insight from every entry, exactly as written.
286
+
287
+ **Rules** are processed patterns with:
288
+
289
+ | Property | Description |
290
+ |----------|-------------|
291
+ | **Stable ID** | Same rule always gets same ID (SHA-256 based) |
292
+ | **Deduplication** | Similar insights merged, frequency tracked |
293
+ | **Confidence** | high/medium/low based on frequency + recency |
294
+ | **Sources** | Which entries contributed to this rule |
295
+ | **Tags** | Auto-extracted technology/concept keywords |
296
+
297
+ ### Deduplication in Action
298
+
299
+ Raw patterns from different entries:
300
+ ```
301
+ - "Run tests before committing"
302
+ - "Always run the test suite before commit"
303
+ - "Execute tests prior to committing code"
304
+ ```
305
+
306
+ After deduplication → **1 rule** with `frequency: 3`:
307
+ ```yaml
308
+ - id: wf-96f12966f1
309
+ rule: Run tests before committing
310
+ frequency: 3
311
+ confidence: high
312
+ ```
313
+
314
+ ---
315
+
316
+ ## Promotion Targets
317
+
318
+ Rules can be promoted to different targets for agent consumption:
319
+
320
+ ```mermaid
321
+ flowchart LR
322
+ R["Rules<br/>(buildlog_status)"] --> T1["CLAUDE.md<br/>(append)"]
323
+ R --> T2["settings.json<br/>(merge)"]
324
+ R --> T3[".claude/skills/<br/>(Agent Skill)"]
325
+
326
+ T1 --> A1["Always loaded<br/>in context"]
327
+ T2 --> A2["Project settings<br/>for Claude Code"]
328
+ T3 --> A3["On-demand loading<br/>saves context"]
329
+
330
+ style T3 fill:#96ceb4,color:#fff
331
+ ```
332
+
333
+ | Target | File | When to Use |
334
+ |--------|------|-------------|
335
+ | `claude_md` | `CLAUDE.md` | Rules always in context (default) |
336
+ | `settings_json` | `.claude/settings.json` | Project-level Claude Code settings |
337
+ | `skill` | `.claude/skills/buildlog-learned/SKILL.md` | **On-demand loading** - rules load only when relevant |
338
+
339
+ ### Anthropic Agent Skills (New!)
340
+
341
+ The `skill` target creates an [Anthropic Agent Skill](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/skills) that Claude loads on-demand:
342
+
343
+ ```bash
344
+ # Via MCP tool
345
+ buildlog_promote(skill_ids=["arch-123", "wf-456"], target="skill")
346
+ ```
347
+
348
+ Creates `.claude/skills/buildlog-learned/SKILL.md`:
349
+
350
+ ```markdown
351
+ ---
352
+ name: buildlog-learned
353
+ description: Project-specific patterns learned from development history.
354
+ Use when writing code, making architectural decisions, reviewing PRs,
355
+ or ensuring consistency. Contains 12 rules across Architectural, Workflow.
356
+ ---
357
+
358
+ # Learned Patterns
359
+
360
+ *12 rules extracted from buildlog entries on 2026-01-16*
361
+
362
+ ## Must Follow (High Confidence)
363
+
364
+ These patterns have been reinforced multiple times.
365
+
366
+ ### Architectural
367
+ - Always validate inputs at the boundary
368
+ - Use dependency injection for testability
369
+
370
+ ### Workflow
371
+ - Run tests after EVERY code change
372
+
373
+ ## Should Consider (Medium Confidence)
374
+
375
+ These patterns appear frequently but may have exceptions.
376
+
377
+ ### Tool Usage
378
+ - Prefer `patch` context manager for date mocking
379
+ ```
380
+
381
+ **Why Agent Skills?**
382
+ - **On-demand loading** - Rules only load when Claude determines they're relevant
383
+ - **Saves context** - Not always in context like CLAUDE.md
384
+ - **Progressive disclosure** - Claude asks before loading the full skill
385
+
386
+ ### Live Usage Scenario
387
+
388
+ Here's how your learned rules actually get used:
389
+
390
+ ```
391
+ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
392
+ │ You: "Review this authentication endpoint I wrote" │
393
+ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
394
+
395
+
396
+ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
397
+ │ Claude sees: "authentication" + "review" + "endpoint" │
398
+ │ │
399
+ │ Checks skill description: │
400
+ │ "Use when writing code, making architectural decisions, │
401
+ │ reviewing PRs, or ensuring consistency..." │
402
+ │ │
403
+ │ Match! Loads .claude/skills/buildlog-learned/SKILL.md │
404
+ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
405
+
406
+
407
+ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
408
+ │ Claude now has access to YOUR learned rules: │
409
+ │ │
410
+ │ Must Follow: │
411

435
+ ## Embedding Backends
436
+
437
+ Deduplication uses text similarity. Choose your backend:
438
+
439
+ | Backend | Install | Use Case |
440
+ |---------|---------|----------|
441
+ | `token` (default) | Built-in | Fast, free, good for obvious duplicates |
442
+ | `sentence-transformers` | `pip install buildlog[embeddings]` | Local semantic similarity, no API calls |
443
+ | `openai` | `pip install buildlog[openai]` | Best quality, requires API key |
444
+
445
+ ```bash
446
+ # Token-based (default) - catches "run tests" ≈ "run testing"
447
+ buildlog skills
448
+
449
+ # Semantic - catches "use Redis for caching" ≈ "cache data in Redis"
450
+ buildlog skills --embeddings sentence-transformers
451
+
452
+ # OpenAI - best quality semantic matching
453
+ export OPENAI_API_KEY=...
454
+ buildlog skills --embeddings openai
455
+ ```
456
+
457
+ ### Comparison
458
+
459
+ | Input | Token | OpenAI |
460
+ |-------|:-----:|:------:|
461
+ | "Run tests before commit" ≈ "Run testing before committing" | Merged | Merged |
462
+ | "Use Redis for caching" ≈ "Cache data in Redis" | Separate | Merged |
463
+

+
466
+ ## Practical Usage
467
+
468
+ ### 1. Inject Rules into CLAUDE.md
469
+
470
+ ```bash
471
+ buildlog skills --format markdown >> CLAUDE.md
472
+ ```
473
+
474
+ Your AI agent now has access to every lesson you've learned:
475
+
476
+ ```markdown
477
+ ## Learned Rules
478
+
479
+ Based on 23 buildlog entries, 31 actionable rules have emerged:
480
+
481
+ ### Architectural (8 rules)
482
+ - Always validate inputs at the boundary (seen 4x)
483
+ - Use frozen dataclasses for data containers (seen 2x)
484
+
485
+ ### Workflow (12 rules)
486
+ - Run tests after EVERY code change (seen 5x)
487
+ ...
488
+ ```
489
+
490
+ ### 2. Create an Agent Skill
491
+
492
+ For on-demand loading instead of always-in-context:
493
+
494
+ ```bash
495
+ # Via CLI (coming soon)
496
+ buildlog promote --target skill
497
+
498
+ # Via MCP
499
+ buildlog_promote(skill_ids=["arch-123"], target="skill")
500
+ ```
501
+
502
+ ### 3. Track Rule Evolution
503
+
504
+ Rules have stable IDs. Track which are reinforced over time:
505
+
506
+ ```bash
507
+ # This week's new rules
508
+ buildlog skills --since 2026-01-10 -o this-week.yml
509
+
510
+ # Compare to baseline
511
+ diff baseline.yml this-week.yml
512
+ ```
513
+
514
+ ### 4. Find Your Blind Spots
515
+
516
+ ```bash
517
+ buildlog stats --detailed
518
+ ```
519
+
520
+ ```
521
+ Buildlog Statistics
522
+
523
+ Entries: 23 total
524
+ Coverage: 87% with improvements
525
+
526
+ Category Breakdown:
527
+ architectural: 12 insights (26%)
528
+ workflow: 15 insights (33%)
529
+ tool_usage: 8 insights (17%)
530
+ domain_knowledge: 11 insights (24%)
531
+
532
+ Warnings:
533
+ - 3 entries have empty Improvements sections
534
+ ```
535

644
+
645
+ ## MCP Server (Claude Code Integration)
646
+
647
+ The MCP server lets Claude Code interact with your buildlog rules directly. Your agent can review learned patterns, promote them to rules, or reject false positives—all through natural conversation.
648
+
649
+ ### Setup for Claude Code CLI
650
+
651
+ 1. Install with MCP support:
652
+ ```bash
653
+ pip install buildlog[mcp]
654
+ # or with uv
655
+ uv pip install buildlog[mcp]
656
+ ```
657
+
658
+ 2. Add to your Claude Code settings (`~/.claude/settings.json`):
659
+ ```json
660
+ {
661
+ "mcpServers": {
662
+ "buildlog": {
663
+ "command": "buildlog-mcp",
664
+ "args": []
665
+ }
666
+ }
667
+ }
668
+ ```
669
+
670
+ 3. Start a new Claude Code session. The buildlog tools will be available.
671
+
672
+ ### Available Tools
673
+
674
+ | Tool | Description |
675
+ |------|-------------|
676
+ | `buildlog_status` | Get rules grouped by category with confidence scores |
677
+ | `buildlog_promote` | Write rules to CLAUDE.md, settings.json, or **Agent Skills** |
678
+ | `buildlog_reject` | Mark rules to exclude from future suggestions |
679
+ | `buildlog_diff` | Show rules pending review (not yet promoted/rejected) |
680
+
681
+ ### Promotion Targets via MCP
682
+
683
+ ```python
684
+ # Append to CLAUDE.md (default)
685
+ buildlog_promote(skill_ids=["arch-123"], target="claude_md")
686
+
687
+ # Merge into settings.json
688
+ buildlog_promote(skill_ids=["arch-123"], target="settings_json")
689
+
690
+ # Create Anthropic Agent Skill (NEW!)
691
+ buildlog_promote(skill_ids=["arch-123"], target="skill")
692
+ ```
693
+
694
+ ### Example Conversation
695
+
696
+ ```
697
+ You: What patterns have I learned?
698
+
699
+ Claude: [calls buildlog_status]
700
+ Based on 23 buildlog entries, you have 31 rules:
701
+
702
+ High confidence (ready to promote):
703
+ - arch-b0fcb62a1e: "Always validate inputs at the boundary"
704
+ - wf-96f12966f1: "Run tests before committing"
705
+
706
+ Would you like me to add these to your CLAUDE.md or create an Agent Skill?
707
+
708
+ You: Create an Agent Skill so they load on-demand.
709
+
710
+ Claude: [calls buildlog_promote with target="skill"]
711
+ Created skill at .claude/skills/buildlog-learned/SKILL.md
712
+
713
+ This skill will load on-demand when relevant to your work,
714
+ saving context for when you need it most.
715
+ ```

719
+ ## Philosophy
720
+
721
+ ### 1. Write Fast, Not Pretty
722
+ Refrigerator to-do list energy. Get it down before you forget.
723
+
724
+ ### 2. Never Delete Mistakes
725
+ Wrong turns are the most valuable content. They're what makes tutorials actually useful.
726
+
727
+ ### 3. Include the Journey
728
+ "We tried X, it failed because Y, so we did Z" > "We did Z"
729
+
730
+ ### 4. Capture Improvements
731
+ Concrete learnings, not vague observations. "Always validate at boundary" > "validation is important"
732
+
733
+ ### 5. Quality Bar
734
+ Each entry should be publishable as a **$500+ tutorial**. Real error messages. Honest about what didn't work. Code that runs.
735
