This basic archiving approach provides sufficient structure while maintaining efficiency. ## 📋 ARCHIVING PRINCIPLES 1. **Completion**: Clearly document what was completed 2. **Context**: Preserve the context of the enhancement 3. **Knowledge**: Capture key insights and lessons 4. **Findability**: Make archived information easy to find 5. **References**: Create cross-references to related work ## 📋 BASIC ARCHIVE STRUCTURE ```markdown # Enhancement Archive: [Feature Name] ## Summary [Brief summary of the enhancement] ## Date Completed YYYY-MM-DD ## Key Files Modified - [File path 1] - [File path 2] - [File path 3] ## Requirements Addressed - [Requirement 1] - [Requirement 2] - [Requirement 3] ## Implementation Details [Brief description of how the enhancement was implemented] ## Testing Performed - [Test 1] - [Test 2] - [Test 3] ## Lessons Learned - [Lesson 1] - [Lesson 2] - [Lesson 3] ## Related Work - [Link to related task/enhancement 1] - [Link to related task/enhancement 2] ## Notes [Any additional information or context] ``` ## 📋 ARCHIVE LOCATION Store archives in an organized structure: ``` docs/ └── archive/ └── enhancements/ └── YYYY-MM/ ├── feature-name-1.md └── feature-name-2.md ``` ## 📋 ARCHIVING PROCESS Follow these steps to archive a Level 2 task: 1. **Prepare Archive Content**: - Gather all relevant information - Fill in the archive template - Include all key implementation details 2. **Cross-Reference Creation**: - Update tasks.md with link to archive - Add reference in progress.md - Update activeContext.md with next focus 3. **File Creation and Storage**: - Create appropriate directory if needed - Save archive file with descriptive name - Ensure file follows naming convention 4. **Final Verification**: - Check archive for completeness - Verify all cross-references - Ensure all links are working ## 📋 CROSS-REFERENCE FORMAT When creating cross-references: 1. **In tasks.md**: ```markdown ## Completed Enhancements - [X] [Feature Name] (YYYY-MM-DD) - [Archive Link](../docs/archive/enhancements/YYYY-MM/feature-name.md) ``` 2. **In progress.md**: ```markdown ## Completed Milestones - [Feature Name] enhancement completed on YYYY-MM-DD. See [archive entry](../docs/archive/enhancements/YYYY-MM/feature-name.md). ``` 3. **In activeContext.md**: ```markdown ## Recently Completed - [Feature Name] enhancement is now complete. Archive: [link](../docs/archive/enhancements/YYYY-MM/feature-name.md) ## Current Focus - Moving to [Next Task Name] ``` ## 📋 ARCHIVING VERIFICATION CHECKLIST ``` ✓ ARCHIVE VERIFICATION - Archive content complete? [YES/NO] - Archive properly stored? [YES/NO] - Cross-references created? [YES/NO] - tasks.md updated? [YES/NO] - progress.md updated? [YES/NO] - activeContext.md updated? [YES/NO] → If all YES: Archiving complete → If any NO: Complete archiving process ``` ## 📋 MINIMAL MODE ARCHIVING For minimal mode, use this format: ``` ✓ ARCHIVE: [Feature Name] ✓ DATE: YYYY-MM-DD ✓ FILES: [Key files changed] ✓ SUMMARY: [One-sentence summary] ✓ LESSONS: [Key takeaway] ✓ REFS: [tasks.md, progress.md, activeContext.md] ``` ## 🔄 INTEGRATION WITH MEMORY BANK Archiving integrates with Memory Bank: ```mermaid graph TD Archive["Enhancement<br>Archive"] --> TasksUpdate["Update<br>tasks.md"] Archive --> ProgressUpdate["Update<br>progress.md"] Archive --> ContextUpdate["Update<br>activeContext.md"] TasksUpdate & ProgressUpdate & ContextUpdate --> CrossLinks["Create<br>Cross-Links"] CrossLinks --> Verify["Verify<br>References"] ``` ## 🚨 KNOWLEDGE PRESERVATION PRINCIPLE Remember: ``` ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Archive files are a VALUABLE KNOWLEDGE RESOURCE. │ │ Take care to preserve insights and lessons that │ │ will benefit future work. │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ``` This ensures that knowledge is preserved and can be referenced in the future.
