Update Progress Blog Skill

Document progress and technical learnings in blog format.

When to Use

• Completed major milestone
• Finished implementation phase
• Learned something significant
• Major refactoring or optimization completed

Quick Reference

- Implemented Y
- Achieved Z

## Challenges Faced
- Challenge 1 and how it was solved
- Challenge 2 and lessons learned

## Technical Highlights
- Interesting implementation detail
- Performance optimization achieved

## Metrics
- Lines of code: X
- Test coverage: Y%
- Performance: Z% improvement

## Next Steps
- Upcoming work

Blog Location

• notes/blog/MM-DD-YYYY.md

  - All blog entries (flat structure)

Best Practices

• Write regularly (weekly or per milestone)
• Be specific with metrics
• Document learnings and challenges
• Link to relevant code/issues
• Keep entries focused (one milestone per entry)

Content Tips

Metrics Format

- Lines of code: 250 (tensor operations)
- Test coverage: 94% (up from 87%)
- Performance: 3x speedup on matmul (cache optimization)

Challenge Documentation

**Problem**: Matrix alignment causing segfaults
**Solution**: Added padding to align rows to SIMD width
**Lessons**: Always validate memory layout for SIMD operations

Error Handling

Issue	Fix
No metrics	Measure before/after with specific numbers
Vague accomplishments	List specific implementations or fixes
Missing learnings	Add what was discovered/surprised you
No next steps	Plan immediate next work
