name: log-success description: Use when something works unusually well during agentic coding - fast completion, first-try success, elegant solution, minimal intervention needed, or new technique paid off.

Log Success

Log agentic coding wins to understand WHY things worked and build repeatable patterns.

Core principle: Success patterns are as valuable as failure patterns. Capture what went RIGHT before you forget.

Success Categories

Interview Process

Ask 4-6 specific questions about what happened:

• "What about the prompt setup made it work so smoothly?"
• "What context did you provide upfront that prevented back-and-forth?"
• "Did you /clear recently? How much context was in the window?"
• "Was there something different about how you structured this?"
• "Could you do this again with the same approach?"
• "Is this worth adding to CLAUDE.md?"

Required Captures

1. Triggering prompt - exact, verbatim
2. Primary success category - pick ONE
3. Key ingredient - the ONE thing that made the difference
4. Reproducibility - can this become standard practice?
5. One-line lesson - actionable insight to apply again

Logging

• Directory: ~/agents/logs/successes/
• Format: success-YYYY-MM-DD-NNN.md
• Template: See template.md in this skill directory

Consider adding successful patterns to CLAUDE.md if broadly applicable.
