Storage Templates

name: storage-templates description: |

Triggers: templates, maturity, storage, organization, patterns Generic template patterns and lifecycle stages for knowledge storage, configuration management, and structured documentation.

Triggers: storage templates, lifecycle stages, maturity progression, naming conventions, knowledge storage, configuration templates, documentation patterns

Use when: organizing knowledge storage, managing configuration lifecycle, creating structured documentation, establishing naming conventions

DO NOT use when: simple storage without lifecycle or structure needs.

Storage Templates

Overview

Generic template patterns and lifecycle management for structured content storage. Provides reusable templates, maturity progression models, and file naming conventions that work across different storage domains.

When to Use

• Building knowledge management systems
• Organizing documentation with maturity stages
• Need consistent file naming patterns
• Want template-driven content creation
• Implementing lifecycle-based workflows

Core Concepts

Template Types

Maturity Lifecycle

seedling → growing → evergreen → archive
    ↓         ↓          ↓           ↓
 1-2 weeks  1-3 months  permanent  deprecated

Verification: Run the command with --help flag to verify availability.

Quick Start

Basic Template Structure

---
title: [Content Title]
created: [YYYY-MM-DD]
maturity: seedling|growing|evergreen|reference
tags: [relevant, tags]
---

# [Title]

## Core Content
[Main information]

## Metadata
[Context and attribution]

Verification: Run the command with --help flag to verify availability.

File Naming Conventions

Domain Applications

Add domain-specific fields to templates:

• memory-palace: palace, district for knowledge organization
• sanctum: scope, version for commit templates
• spec-kit: phase, status for specifications

See modules/template-patterns.md for detailed examples.

Common Patterns

Promotion Workflow

Seedling → Growing:

• Accessed more than once
• Connected to other entries
• Expanded with new insights

Growing → Evergreen:

• Proven useful over 3+ months
• Stable, not frequently edited
• Well-connected in system

Evergreen → Archive:

• Superseded by newer knowledge
• Technology/approach deprecated
• No longer applicable

Template Selection Guide

Integration Pattern

# In your skill's frontmatter
dependencies: [leyline:storage-templates]

Verification: Run the command with --help flag to verify availability.

Detailed Resources

• Templates: See modules/template-patterns.md for detailed structures
• Lifecycle: See modules/lifecycle-stages.md for maturity progression

Exit Criteria

• Template selected for use case
• File naming convention applied
• Maturity stage assigned
• Promotion criteria understood

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Command not found Ensure all dependencies are installed and in PATH

Permission errors Check file permissions and run with appropriate privileges

Unexpected behavior Enable verbose logging with --verbose flag
