A useful record does more than preserve what happened. It helps the next reader understand why a decision was made, what is complete, and what the safest next step should be.
Preserve judgment, not only outcomes
A conclusion without context quickly loses value. Recording constraints, trade-offs, and unresolved questions helps future readers decide whether the original approach still applies.
This does not require documenting everything. The priority is preserving the reasoning that may change a future choice.

Make the current state easy to recognize
Separating completed, active, blocked, and deferred work reduces the cost of rebuilding context. A concrete next action is also more useful than a vague task label.

Documentation is not an afterthought. It is a practical way to protect continuity and collaboration quality when the format is simple enough to remain inside the workflow.
