What it does

Compound Docs is an agent skill from nth5693/gemini-kit. Document solved problems for knowledge persistence

Its SKILL.md is about 760 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: 🚀 19 AI Agents + 44 Commands for Gemini CLI - Code 10x faster with auto planning, testing, review & security. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/compound-docs”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Document a solution → Use /compound workflow
  2. Find existing solutions → See "Searching Solutions" below
  3. Promote to pattern → See "Pattern Promotion" below
  4. Validate schema → See "YAML Validation" below

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f3db206. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash, markdown and code).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Compound Docs loads about 760 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 16 tokens; SKILL.md has 159 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~16
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~760

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Document solved problems for knowledge persistence

Compound Documentation Skill

Manages solution documentation in docs/solutions/ for knowledge persistence across sessions.

Overview

When you solve a problem, document it so the solution can be found and reused later.

What do you want to do?

  1. Document a solution → Use /compound workflow
  2. Find existing solutions → See "Searching Solutions" below
  3. Promote to pattern → See "Pattern Promotion" below
  4. Validate schema → See "YAML Validation" below

Instrumentation

bash
# Log usage when using this skill
./scripts/log-skill.sh "compound-docs" "manual" "$$"

Searching Solutions

bash
# Search by keyword
grep -r "keyword" docs/solutions/

# Search by tag
grep -l "tags:.*performance" docs/solutions/**/*.md

# Search by problem type
ls docs/solutions/performance-issues/

Pattern Promotion

When an issue occurs 3+ times:

  1. Search for similar solutions:

    bash
    grep -r "similar terms" docs/solutions/

  2. Add to critical patterns:

    bash
    # Edit docs/solutions/patterns/critical-patterns.md

  3. Format:

    markdown
    ### Pattern #{N}: {Name}

**Problem:** {What goes wrong}

**❌ WRONG:**
```code
{incorrect}

    ✅ CORRECT:

    code
    {correct}

YAML Validation

All solutions must have valid frontmatter:

yaml
---
date: "YYYY-MM-DD"
problem_type: "{from schema.yaml}"
severity: "critical|high|medium|low"
symptoms:
  - "symptom 1"
root_cause: "{from schema.yaml}"
tags:
  - tag1
---

See docs/solutions/schema.yaml for valid enum values.

Documenting Failures & Learnings

When documenting solutions, capture the full journey:

What to Include
  • ✅ Failed attempts with explanations
  • ✅ Incorrect assumptions and corrections
  • ✅ Key insights from mistakes
  • ✅ Course corrections and why
  • ✅ Time investment (helps prioritize future similar issues)
Example Pattern
markdown
## Investigation Steps

| Attempt | Hypothesis | Result |
|---------|------------|--------|
| 1. Check API logs | API might be timing out | ❌ No timeouts found |
| 2. Review database queries | N+1 query suspected | ❌ Queries were optimized |
| 3. Check cache invalidation | Cache might be stale | ✅ Found cache not clearing |

## Lessons Learned

### Mistakes Made
- **Assumption:** Assumed the API was the bottleneck
  - **Why wrong:** Didn't check cache layer first
  - **Correction:** Should always check cache before API

### Key Breakthrough
- **Insight:** Realized cache invalidation logic was only running on UPDATE, not DELETE
  - **Impact:** Led directly to the solution

[!TIP] Document the journey, not just the destination. Future readers learn from understanding WHY failed approaches didn't work.
