When & Why to Use This Skill

The log-work skill is a productivity tool designed to automate the documentation of work segments into structured daily logs. By implementing the progressive disclosure principle, it creates concise, timestamped entries that reference specific files and actions, providing a clear audit trail for both human supervisors and AI agents without cluttering the primary workspace.

Use Cases

  • 1. Automated Progress Tracking: Automatically maintain a chronological WORKLOG folder that records every major task completed, ensuring no work segment is forgotten during long-running projects.
  • 2. Developer Activity Auditing: Keep a precise record of which code files were created or modified and which documents were read, facilitating easier debugging and code reviews.
  • 3. Seamless Context Handoffs: Generate structured summaries that allow different AI agents or team members to quickly understand the current state of a project by following references to detailed documents.
  • 4. Daily Status Reporting: Use the generated YYYYMMDD.md files as a foundation for daily stand-ups or stakeholder updates, reducing the time spent on manual reporting.

log-work

  1. create the file WORKLOG/YYYYMMDD.md if it doesn't already exist.
  2. if the file exists, append a new TOP-LEVEL markdown section to it.
  3. When you add a section, follow this format for the section header, so it has HH:MM timestamp followed by suitable concise topic
# 13:45 Added feature xyz

In the log section include a CONCISE set of items such as the following (Not all may apply to all situations, use your judgement):

  • the session_id of the current session
  • any text/md file(s) you CREATED and their purpose
  • any text/md file(s) you READ as part of the current task
  • short description of what you just did, including any results you got
  • which code files were created/changed
