When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you want to summarize progress, write a daily dev log, or perform a daily review while keeping project contexts isolated and synced to Notion/Obsidian.

> 🚨 **Agent One-Shot Integrity Constraint (Highest Priority)**: Steps 1-4 are an **indivisible atomic workflow**. The AI **MUST use Continuous Tool Calling** to complete all actions in one breath. > - **ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN** to output conversational text and wait for the user after completing Step 1, 2, or 3. > - Example: Immediately after saving the file in Step 1, you must **automatically and instantly** call the terminal tool to execute the script in Step 2. Stopping to chat or asking "Should I continue?" is considered a critical error. Only inform the user explicitly if you are stuck due to a technical error.

> ⚠️ **Ironclad Rule 1**: The local project diary in Step 1 **must NEVER be polluted with global data**. It only records the current project. > ⚠️ **Ironclad Rule 2**: When using tools like `run_command` to execute predefined python scripts (Step 2, Step 4), you must set them to `SafeToAutoRun: true` to avoid getting stuck waiting for user authorization. > ⚠️ **Ironclad Rule 3**: **Never guess the project name**. The AI must confirm the current directory name as the project identifier using a terminal command BEFORE taking any action in Step 1.

---

Step 1: Local Project Archiving (AI Generation)

  • **Action 0 (Identify)**: Call the terminal `pwd` (Linux/Mac) or `(Get-Item .).Name` (Windows) to confirm the current folder name.
  • **Action 1 (Write)**: Summarize the achievements from the current conversation (Git Commits, file changes, task progress), and write them into the **current project folder** at `diary/YYYY/MM/YYYY-MM-DD-ProjectName.md`.
  • **Isolation and Naming Rules (Ironclad Rules)**:
  • 📄 **Mandatory Filename Suffix**: The local diary **MUST** include the project name detected just now. It is **absolutely forbidden** to use a global-level filename (like `2026-02-23.md`) locally.
  • ✅ **Pure Content**: Only record content exclusive to the current project. Do not mix in other projects.
  • 📝 **Append Mode**: If the project diary already exists, update it using "append", never overwrite the original content.
  • 📁 **Auto-Creation**: Create subfolders `diary/YYYY/MM/` based on the year and month.
  • ⚡ **Force Continue**: Once writing is complete, **do not interrupt the conversation; immediately call the terminal tool and proceed to Step 2.**

Step 1.5: Refresh Project Context (Automation Script)

  • **Prerequisite**: You have confirmed the current project directory path (from Action 0's `pwd` result).
  • **Action**: Call the terminal to execute the following command to automatically scan the project state and generate/update `AGENT_CONTEXT.md`:
  python {diary_system_path}/scripts/prepare_context.py "<Project_Root_Path>"
  • **SafeToAutoRun**: true (Safe operation; purely reading and writing local files).
  • **Result**: `AGENT_CONTEXT.md` in the project directory is refreshed to the latest state.
  • **After Completion**: Force continue to Step 2; do not wait for user confirmation.

Step 2: Extract Global & Project Material (Script Execution)

  • **Action**: Call the extraction script, **passing in the absolute path of the project diary just written in Step 1**. The script will precisely print "Today's Global Progress" and "Current Project Progress".
  • **Execution Command**:
  python {diary_system_path}/scripts/fetch_diaries.py "<Absolute_Path_to_Step1_Project_Diary>"
  • **Result**: The terminal will print two sets of material side-by-side. The AI must read the terminal output directly and prepare for mental fusion.

Step 3: AI Smart Fusion & Global Archiving (AI Execution) 🧠

  • **Action**: Based on the two materials printed by the terminal in Step 2, complete a **seamless fusion** mentally, then write it to the global diary: `{diary_system_path}/diary/YYYY/MM/YYYY-MM-DD.md`.
  • **Context Firewall (Core Mechanism)**:

1. **No Tag Drift**: When reading "Global Progress Material", there may be progress from other projects. **It is strictly forbidden to categorize today's conversation achievements under existing project headings belonging to other projects.** 2. **Priority Definition**: The content marked as `📁 [Current Project Latest Progress]` in Step 2 is the protagonist of today's diary.

  • **Rewrite Rules**:

1. **Safety First**: If the global diary "already exists," preserve the original content and append/fuse the new project progress. **Do not overwrite.** 2. **Precise Zoning**: Ensure there is a dedicated `### 📁 ProjectName` zone for this project. Do not mix content into other project zones. 3. **Lessons Learned**: Merge and deduplicate; attach action items to every entry. 4. **Cleanup**: After writing or fusing globally, you **must** force-delete any temporary files created to avoid encoding issues (e.g., `temp_diary.txt`, `fetched_diary.txt`) to keep the workspace clean.

Step 4: Cloud Sync & Experience Extraction (Script + Human) 🛑

  • **Action 1 (Sync)**: Call the master script to push the global diary to Notion and Obsidian.
  • **Execution Command**:
  python {diary_system_path}/scripts/master_diary_sync.py --sync-only
  • **Action 2 (Extraction & Forced Pause)**:

1. The AI extracts "Improvements & Learning" from the global diary. 2. Confirm if it contains entirely new key points lacking in the past (📌 New Rules), or better approaches (🔄 Evolved Rules). 3. List the results and **WAIT FOR USER CONFIRMATION** (user says "execute" or "agree"). 4. After user confirmation, update the `.md` file in `{Knowledge_Base_Path}/` and execute `qmd embed` (if applicable).
