engineering-historianlisted

Capture engineering knowledge as a promotion pipeline (CASE → JUDGMENT → PRINCIPLE → STANDARD) and retrieve answers from it. Capture is automatic — a post-session sweep drafts cases with status:auto; the user reviews them at /distill. Use whenever the user types "/history", "/case", or "/distill", says "log this session", "wrap up and record", "capture this decision", or ends a working session where decisions, deployments, debugging, or configuration happened. ALSO use for retrieval whenever the user asks about their own past work or rules — "how did I deploy X", "why did I stop using Y", "what did we decide about Z", "do we have a rule/standard for W" — by searching the knowledge/ vault (standards first, then principles, then cases) before answering from general knowledge. Every retrieval must be logged to the retrieval log.

# Engineering Historian (v3.1) Storage is stupid; retrieval is smart — meaning the storage layer stays deliberately dumb (plain markdown, minimal taxonomy) so that intelligence is applied at read and distillation time, not speculated into folder structures. And **wisdom is earned through cited evidence, not asserted**. This system captures specific decisions as CASES, distills their reasoning into JUDGMENTS, promotes recurring patterns into PRINCIPLES, and hardens checkable principles into STANDARDS. Nothing enters as a rule without a cited case behind it. A principle without provenance is invalid in this system: delete it on sight. **What v3 changes from v2.5:** nothing in the pipeline, formats, promotion rules, retrieval, or vault layout. v3 only changes *when capture fires*. In v2.5 a human had to remember to type `/history` or `/case`; that is where the system died in practice. v3 replaces the human trigger with an automatic post-session **sweep** that drafts cases (`status: auto`) from the transcript, reviewed in one batch at `/distill`. Manual `/case` and `/history` still work as overrides. Everything below the "Automation layer" heading is the only new material; everything above it is v2.5 verbatim. **What v3.1 changes from v3:** nothing in what is captured or how — only the sweep's *pre-filter*. v3.0 skipped sessions with few user turns, which silently dropped prompt-light agentic sessions (three prompts, hours of autonomous work). v3.1 replaces that significance g
