# Record — Running Log **Evidence tier**: H **Basis**: Useful heuristic for lightweight daily work logs and event capture, adapted from context directory daily notes practice. **Source IDs**: record-skill, writerbuilder-howiai-context-directory, plan-my-day-skill **Reviewed**: 2026-05-12 Append timestamped one-line entries to the Running Log section of today's daily note. ## Expected layout This skill writes to `~/context/admin/daily-notes/YYYY/MM-Month/YYYY-MM-DD.md` — the "context directory" convention from Hilary Gridley's [Context Directory and Daily Notes guide](https://www.writerbuilder.com/howiai#context-directory). Pair this skill with `plan-my-day` (which creates the daily notes) or set up the directory yourself. ## Behavior ### Automatic (every session) Throughout every conversation, silently log meaningful events: - Task finished or started - Blocker hit or resolved - Decision made - Context switch - Anything the user would want to remember about their day **Do this quietly — never announce that you're logging.** ### Manual (`/record <message>`) When the user invokes `/record` with a message, add that exact message as a log entry. ## How to log 1. Get current time: `date '+%H:%M'` 2. Determine today's daily note path: `~/context/admin/daily-notes/YYYY/MM-Month/YYYY-MM-DD.md` 3. If the file doesn't exist, create it with the standard template: ```markdown # YYYY-MM-DD — Day Name ## Schedule _No schedule planned yet. Run /plan-my-day to set one up._
