Post-Mortem
Captures a debug or decision session as durable project memory. Prevents redoing the same work.
The thing you figured out at midnight on Tuesday becomes "oh wait, why doesn't this work" again three months later. Post-Mortem captures the session, the dead ends, and the resolution as a memory file the next person (or future you) can read.
When to reach for it
After any debugging session over 30 minutes. After any contentious decision. After any incident.
How an owner uses it
Walk it through what happened. Get back a clean memo: what we were trying, what didn't work, what worked, the lesson worth remembering. Filed automatically into the project's memory.
