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

Core Concepts

Template Types

Type	Purpose	Maturity	Lifetime
Evergreen	Stable, proven knowledge	High	Permanent
Growing	Active development	Medium	1-3 months
Seedling	Early ideas	Low	1-2 weeks
Reference	Tool/version-specific	N/A	Until deprecated

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

Type	Pattern	Example
Evergreen	topic-name.md	functional-core-pattern.md
Growing	topic-name.md	async-patterns.md
Seedling	YYYY-MM-DD-topic.md	2025-12-05-template-idea.md
Reference	tool-version.md	python-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• Superseded by newer knowledge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• No longer applicable

Template Selection Guide

Stability	Purpose	Template
Proven	Long-term	Evergreen
Evolving	Active development	Growing
Experimental	Exploration	Seedling
Versioned	External reference	Reference

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
