# Log Technical Insight
Immediately add an entry to `docs/insights-log.md`.
## Current Context
- Branch: !`git branch --show-current`
- Milestone: detected from branch name
## What to Log
**Arguments**: $ARGUMENTS
Insights are non-obvious technical observations discovered during implementation:
- Platform quirks and gotchas
- Architectural trade-offs discovered during implementation
- Debugging techniques that saved significant time
- Performance observations
- Patterns worth remembering across sessions
## Entry Format
Add a new row to the insights log table:
| Date | Milestone | Topic | Insight | Verification | Status |
|------|-----------|-------|---------|--------------|--------|
| [today] | [from branch] | [hierarchical tag] | [the observation] | [how to verify] | Raw |
### Topic Tags (Hierarchical)
Use format like: `Platform/Area`, `Framework/Feature`, `Architecture/Pattern`, `Testing/Approach`
## After Logging
Check promotion rules:
- **3+ insights on same topic** → Suggest creating a Learning Note in `docs/learning-notes/`
- **Architectural decision with trade-offs** → Suggest creating an ADR in `docs/architecture/`
- **Recurring gotcha** → Suggest adding to CLAUDE.md
Report the promotion check result after logging.
