📔 Unified Diary System

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: powershell 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: powershell 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):
• 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.
• Priority Definition: The content marked as 📁 [Current Project Latest Progress] in Step 2 is the protagonist of today's diary.
• Rewrite Rules:
• Safety First: If the global diary "already exists," preserve the original content and append/fuse the new project progress. Do not overwrite.
• Precise Zoning: Ensure there is a dedicated ### 📁 ProjectName zone for this project. Do not mix content into other project zones.
• Lessons Learned: Merge and deduplicate; attach action items to every entry.
• 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: powershell python {diary_system_path}/scripts/master_diary_sync.py --sync-only
• Action 2 (Extraction & Forced Pause):
• The AI extracts "Improvements & Learning" from the global diary.
• Confirm if it contains entirely new key points lacking in the past (📌 New Rules), or better approaches (🔄 Evolved Rules).
• List the results and WAIT FOR USER CONFIRMATION (user says "execute" or "agree").
• After user confirmation, update the .md file in {Knowledge_Base_Path}/ and execute qmd embed (if applicable).

🎯 Task Acceptance Criteria: 1. ✅ Project local diary generated (no pollution). 2. ✅ fetch_diaries.py called with absolute path and successfully printed materials. 3. ✅ AI executed high-quality rewrite and precisely wrote to global diary (appended successfully if file existed). 4. ✅ --sync-only successfully pushed to Notion + Obsidian. 5. ✅ Experience extraction presented to the user and authorized.

📝 Templates and Writing Guidelines

Strictly apply the following Markdown templates to ensure clarity during Step 1 (Local) and Step 3 (Global Fusion).

💡 Writing Guidelines (For AI)

1. Dynamic Replacement: The {Project Name} in the template MUST strictly use the folder name grabbed by pwd in Step 1.
2. Concise Deduplication: When writing the global diary in Step 3, the AI must condense the "🛠️ Execution Details" from the local diary. The global diary focuses only on "General Direction and Output Results."
3. Mandatory Checkboxes: All "Next Steps" and "Action Items" must use the Markdown * [ ] format so they can be checked off in Obsidian/Notion later.

Limitations

• Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
• Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
• Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
