End-of-Day Summary Ritual

Run these steps in order to capture today's progress.

Step 1: Today's commits

Run:

git log --oneline --since="midnight"

Capture the full list. If there are no commits, note "No commits today."

Step 2: Files changed today

Run:

git diff --name-only HEAD~10

This is an approximation. If the command fails (e.g., fewer than 10 commits), fall back to:

git diff --name-only HEAD~3

Or use whatever depth is available.

Step 3: Check for uncommitted work

Run:

git status --short

Note any staged or unstaged changes.

Step 4: Create the daily log

Ensure the directory exists:

mkdir -p .claude/daily-logs

Get today's date:

date +%Y-%m-%d

Create (or overwrite) the file .claude/daily-logs/{YYYY-MM-DD}.md using the Write tool with this structure:

# Daily Log — {YYYY-MM-DD}

## Commits
{list each commit from Step 1, one per line}

## Files Touched
{list each file from Step 2, one per line}

## Key Decisions
{ask the user what key decisions were made today — list any that are apparent from commit messages or file changes}

## Unfinished Items
{list uncommitted changes from Step 3, plus anything that looks incomplete}

For the "Key Decisions" section: infer what you can from commit messages and changed files, then ask the user if there's anything else to add.

For the "Unfinished Items" section: list uncommitted changes and ask the user if there are other open threads.

Step 5: Handoff suggestion

If Step 3 found uncommitted changes or the user mentioned work in progress, end with:

You have uncommitted work. Consider running /handoff to capture context for your next session.

If everything is clean, end with:

Clean state. Nice work today.
