GoogleCloudPlatform KCC Agentic Journaler
Overview
As an agent, you must record "tribal knowledge" and technical breakthroughs. This skill ensures that your learnings are stored in the most contextually relevant location.
Routing Logic
When you have a new learning, follow this hierarchy to choose the destination:
Tier 1: General Mechanics
Scenario: You found a better way to do something that applies to all KCC resources (e.g., "A more efficient way to resolve Project IDs").
Destination: Update the relevant Skill's SKILL.md file directly.
Tier 2: Domain and Service Tribal Knowledge
Scenario: You found a trick for a specific implementation area, or a quirk unique to a specific GCP service.
Destination: ALWAYS create or append to .gemini/journals/<service_name>.md.
CRITICAL: Do NOT append to any journal.md inside a .gemini/skills/ directory. Multiple agents working in parallel on different services will cause merge conflicts if they all write to a centralized skill journal. By keeping journals scoped to the <service_name>, we eliminate cross-service merge conflicts.
Journal Entry Template
Use this format for your entries in .gemini/journals/<service_name>.md:
### [YYYY-MM-DD] <Brief Title>
- **Context**: <What were you implementing? Link to Kind/PR>
- **Problem**: <What was the unexpected behavior or hurdle?>
- **Solution**: <How did you solve it? Provide code snippets if relevant.>
- **Impact**: <Why should the next agent care about this?>
Validation
In your final turn of the task, you MUST state which knowledge was captured and provide the file path.
