Daily Log Plugin Setup

Overview

Interactive setup for the daily-log plugin. Creates ~/.claude/daily-log.json with the user's preferences for where to publish daily summaries.

Setup Steps

Step 1: Verify logging is working

• Check if ~/.claude/logs/daily/ exists and has log files
• If not, explain that logs will start appearing after the next Claude Code session since hooks run on UserPromptSubmit and Stop events

Step 2: Auto-summary preference

Ask the user using AskUserQuestion:

"Automatically generate summaries for previous days when you start a new session?"

Options:

• Yes (recommended) — on SessionStart, catch up on any unsummarized days
• No — only generate summaries when you manually run /daily-log:daily-log-summary

Step 3: Choose publish destination

Ask the user using AskUserQuestion:

"Where would you like to publish daily summaries?"

Options:

• Slack — post to a Slack channel (requires Slack MCP server)
• Discord — post via Discord webhook URL (no bot needed)
• Webhook — post to any HTTP endpoint (works with Teams, Zapier, n8n, etc.)
• Obsidian — save as a daily note in your Obsidian vault
• Notion — post to a Notion page (requires Notion API key)
• Local only — just save summaries as markdown files (no publishing)

Step 4: Configure the chosen destination

If Slack:

1. Ask for the Slack channel name (e.g., #daily-standup)
2. Ask for the Slack channel ID (tell them: "Right-click the channel in Slack → View channel details → ID is at the bottom")
3. Note: requires a Slack MCP server to be configured in Claude Code

If Discord:

1. Ask for the Discord webhook URL (tell them: "Server Settings → Integrations → Webhooks → New Webhook → Copy URL")
2. Test the webhook by sending a test message via curl

If Webhook:

1. Ask for the webhook URL
2. Ask if it needs custom headers (e.g., Authorization)
3. Explain the payload format:

{
  "text": "## 2026-03-14\n\n### myapp\n- Fixed login bug",
  "date": "2026-03-14",
  "projects": ["myapp", "api-server"]
}

If Obsidian:

1. Ask for the vault path (e.g., ~/Documents/Zettelkasten)
2. Ask for the folder within the vault for daily summaries (e.g., daily-logs or Claude)
3. Notes will be saved as YYYY-MM-DD.md in that folder
4. Ask if they want to append to existing daily notes or create separate files

If Notion:

1. Ask for the Notion API key (tell them: "Settings → Connections → Develop or manage integrations → create one")
2. Ask for the parent page ID or database ID where summaries should go
3. Note: requires the Notion page to be shared with the integration

If Local only:

• No additional config needed, summaries save to ~/.claude/logs/summaries/

Step 5: Write config file

Save to ~/.claude/daily-log.json:

Slack example:

{
  "autoSummary": true,
  "publish": {
    "type": "slack",
    "channelId": "C0AJS2NCENP",
    "channelName": "#daily-standup"
  }
}

Discord example:

{
  "autoSummary": true,
  "publish": {
    "type": "discord",
    "webhookUrl": "https://discord.com/api/webhooks/..."
  }
}

Webhook example:

{
  "autoSummary": true,
  "publish": {
    "type": "webhook",
    "url": "https://hooks.example.com/daily-summary",
    "headers": {
      "Authorization": "Bearer token123"
    }
  }
}

Obsidian example:

{
  "autoSummary": true,
  "publish": {
    "type": "obsidian",
    "vaultPath": "~/Documents/Zettelkasten",
    "folder": "daily-logs",
    "appendToExisting": true
  }
}

Notion example:

{
  "autoSummary": true,
  "publish": {
    "type": "notion",
    "apiKey": "ntn_...",
    "parentPageId": "abc123..."
  }
}

Local only:

{
  "autoSummary": true,
  "publish": {
    "type": "local"
  }
}

Step 6: Confirm setup

• Show the saved config (mask API keys/webhook URLs showing only first/last 4 chars)
• Remind them of available skills:
  • /daily-log:status — check logging status and stats
  • /daily-log:daily-log-summary — generate summaries and publish
  • /daily-log:cleanup — manage old log files
  • /daily-log:setup — re-run this setup anytime

Important

• Use AskUserQuestion for each preference question (provides clickable UI)
• The config file location is always ~/.claude/daily-log.json (not inside the plugin directory — it persists across plugin updates)
• If config already exists, show current values and ask if they want to change them
• API keys, webhook URLs, and tokens are sensitive — mask them when displaying
