# Save Answer Files a conversation output back into the brain vault. Turns ephemeral Q&A, research, analysis, and comparisons into persistent, cross-linked knowledge. Inspired by Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern: "good answers should be filed back into the wiki as new pages so explorations compound." ## Trigger phrases - `/save-answer` - "save this answer" - "file this" - "keep this in the brain" - "this is worth saving" - "persist this" ## Input The content to save. This can be: - **Explicit:** User says "save this" after a Q&A exchange or analysis - **Implicit:** User invokes `/save-answer` and Claude identifies the most recent substantial output in the conversation If no clear output is identifiable, ask: "Which part of our conversation should I save?" ## Step-by-step workflow ### 1. Identify the output Extract the valuable content from the conversation. Common types: - **Research finding** -- answer to a question that required multi-source synthesis - **Comparison/analysis** -- a table or structured evaluation of options - **Framework application** -- a mental model applied to a specific problem - **Decision rationale** -- reasoning behind a choice (if not already logged as a decision) - **Technical insight** -- something learned about a tool, API, or system ### 2. Determine placement | Type | Location | |------|----------| | Project-specific insight | Append to `projects/{project}/{relevant-file}.md` | | Research finding | `research/{topic}/{descriptive-slug}.md`
