Proj Notes

Update selected persistent project notes under /clusterfs/mhg-data/yaoshen/codex_notes/projects for dh_benchmark or rhom. Use when the user says proj_notes, asks to add an important detail to project notes, or asks to record project-specific information with date and tags.

File contents

Project Notes

Use this skill only when the user explicitly asks to save something important to project notes.

Project note roots:

dh_benchmark: /clusterfs/mhg-data/yaoshen/codex_notes/projects/dh_benchmark/
rhom: /clusterfs/mhg-data/yaoshen/codex_notes/projects/rhom/

Workflow

Determine the target project from the user request.
- Accept dh_benchmark, dh benchmark, benchmark, or related DH benchmark wording for dh_benchmark.
- Accept rhom for rhom.
- If the project is unclear, ask one concise question before writing.
Use the current local date for YYYY-MM-DD.md unless the user specifies a date.
Require or infer tags.
- If the user supplies tags, preserve them exactly.
- If no tags are supplied, add a short Tags: line with obvious tags from the content, or Tags: untagged if none are obvious.
Append a dated entry to the project file. Do not overwrite prior entries.
Only record information the user marked as important or explicitly asked to put in project notes.
Include absolute paths, command names, job IDs, method names, and decision rationale when they are part of the useful project memory.
Keep project notes concise; do not turn them into full daily logs.
After writing, report the project, note path, tags, and a short summary.
