Recognize which method, observation or capability retains value outside the context that produced it. Distinguish the reusable contribution from private details and form an account coherent with what was observed or built.
Use this competence when project experience could become a guide, method, resource or public case. Projects produce knowledge as they encounter problems, recognize limits and change methods. Preserve the shareable relation and the conditions giving it meaning. Its form may be an observation, guide, usable capability or research question.
Recognize the reusable contribution
Begin with a precise event or knowledge: what happened, what became understandable and which later choice might change. Consider the outside recipient's useful outcome: understanding, use, verification, collaboration or research. A technical change or new name is not sufficient reason to publish. An open question can have value when its state is clear and its source makes it understandable.
Generalize while preserving conditions
Separate the useful mechanism from details specific to a person, client or environment. Understand whether the relation retains meaning in another case and which conditions must accompany it. Removing names is insufficient: a problem depending on particular access or configuration does not become universal. Use a neutral example when it explains the same mechanism and identify it as illustrative.
Preserve the state of knowledge
Distinguish observation, interpretation, implementation, exercise, repetition and external validation. Do not turn one successful internal case into a general performance claim or weaken a supported capability into vague speculation. Make uncertainty, scope and revision clear where they affect understanding. A detail changing the conclusion belongs in the explanation, not a hidden note.
Choose form and recipient
Let the relation determine form: a clarified error may become a practical note, a repeatable method a guide, a capability a kit or an unknown a research question. Reach an existing public owner for that capability before creating competing derivatives. The product owner retains capability truth; writing forms its expression. Several recipients may receive different contributions from one event.
Transfer a usable capability
For an operating resource, include the knowledge needed to perform and continue work: accessible sources, decisions, usage conditions, necessary tools and learning. A well-described principle is not the same as a received capability. Replace private dependencies with real entries and explain the method's contribution. A simple article does not require unnecessary installation or packaging.
Retain the return from sharing
Before a public effect, protect personal data, credentials, private relationships and strategies not selected for sharing. Preparation does not send or publish. After an authorized effect, use misunderstandings, criticism and usage cases to understand what should change: product, text, distribution or generalization. If the loss arose from selecting what was shareable, correct this competence itself.
Method depth
The work has a meta relation when it takes another activity's learning as its object and forms a transferable capability. Not every observation requires a product.
An autological relation emerges when public feedback changes recognition and generalization of learning themselves. A guide that lost a decisive condition teaches this competence what to preserve next. That return is distinct from automatic publication.
Learning and continuation
Attribute the event, initial interpretation and later understanding. Public feedback may improve the resource without rewriting what the initial case actually showed.
Begin with actual context, sources, means and mandate. The method can operate in chat. Instructions make a capability usable; real work reveals its behavior and value.
Reachable operating knowledge
Read OPERATING_GUIDE.md as part of this method when forming the work. It carries the practical knowledge, decision relations and available means for this capability. The complete chat starter includes this knowledge and worked examples, so it remains usable without private sources. Preserve the public source identity and adapt through the recipient's actual means.
