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

When NOT To Use

  • Simple storage without lifecycle or structure needs

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

SeedlingYYYY-MM-DD-topic.md2025-12-05-template-idea.md
Referencetool-version.mdpython-3.12-features.md

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  • Superseded by newer knowledge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  • No longer applicable

Detailed Resources

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Overview

Storage templates provide generic template patterns and lifecycle management for structured content storage. They offer reusable templates, maturity progression models, and file naming conventions that work across storage domains, helping knowledge management and documentation systems stay consistent and scalable.

How This Skill Works

Templates are categorized into Evergreen, Growing, Seedling, and Reference, each with a defined maturity and lifetime. The approach includes a maturity lifecycle seedling → growing → evergreen → archive and a YAML-based Basic Template Structure for content, plus naming conventions and domain-specific fields. Verification steps, such as running commands with --help, ensure availability and correct usage.

When to Use It

  • Building knowledge-management systems
  • Organizing documentation with maturity stages
  • Need consistent file naming patterns
  • Template-driven content creation
  • Implementing lifecycle-based workflows in configuration and documentation

Quick Start

  1. Step 1: Create a YAML skeleton with title, created date, maturity, and tags.
  2. Step 2: Select a template type (seedling, growing, evergreen, reference) and fill Core Content and Metadata.
  3. Step 3: Apply the file naming convention and run verification (e.g., --help) to verify availability.

Best Practices

  • Define a clear set of template types and map them to lifetimes
  • Adopt consistent file naming conventions per maturity
  • Use domain-specific fields where applicable (memory-palace sanctum spec-kit)
  • Document promotion criteria for moving entries through Seedling to Evergreen
  • Regularly review templates to retire or archive obsolete content

Example Use Cases

  • Knowledge base article aligned with Evergreen in a product domain
  • Seedling template used to prototype a new process
  • Growing template for an active API feature with 1-3 months lifetime
  • Reference template for a tool version like python-3.12-features
  • Documentation package applying domain fields for knowledge organization
