I know of nothing that treats the topic broadly. Which is really, really weird. I think it is enormously and obviously important, yet hardly anyone talks about it, and when they do it’s briefly and only in narrow domains. (Would love to hear suggestions if anyone has them!)
Of course there's Polanyi's famous early work. I'm also a fan of this paper of Harry Collins, which I gradually inflict on all my friends: https://www.gwern.net/docs/philo/2001-collins.pdf …

BTW, have you seen the Journal of Visualized Experiments ( http://www.jove.com )? Explicitly founded in 2006 or 2007 to make (some) tacit knowledge explicit.

Polanyi's book is a good example of my approach to reading, BTW. I read some fairly random subset of pages, many years ago :-) (Loved his "Republic of Science", too.)

Sensemaking literature? And, of course, Bongard. Apprenticeships. Koans. I bet there's something in Bateson and Mead. Hmm
