Log Outreach

/log-outreach, close the session

Usage: /log-outreach

The next session reads PROJECT_NOTES.md first. Whatever this skill writes is what the next session believes, so it has to be true.

Steps

1. Reconcile the trackers against disk. For each person, compare tracker.md against the files in drafts/ and sent/. The files win. Fix the tracker where they disagree, and note what was out of step — a recurring mismatch means a step in the workflow is being skipped.

2. Update statuses. Every draft has a status in its frontmatter that says exactly what still has to happen to it. Never end a session with a file in an unclear state.

3. Set follow-up dates. Anything sent this session gets followup_due at +6 days, in the frontmatter and the tracker.

4. Update PROJECT_NOTES.md:

   • The phase, and honestly — a phase whose deliverable does not exist is not done
   • What is blocked, and who unblocks it
   • What is still undecided
   • One next action
   • A new row in the session log: date, and what actually happened

5. Push the vault-worthy parts. Not everything belongs in the vault; this repo holds the operational detail. The vault gets:

   • A dev-log note in 10 Logs/ for a substantial session → /obsidian-log
   • A person note in 04 People/ for anyone who replied → /obsidian-person. Name, company, role, context. No email address, no phone number
   • An interview or call → one line in 09 Reference/Planned Events.md
   • A decision about strategy or targeting → /obsidian-decide
   • Anything else worth keeping → /obsidian-save

   Read _CLAUDE.md at the vault root first. Its folder map and frontmatter schemas are authoritative.

6. Mirror to Codex if the brain changed. If anything in .claude/agents/ or .claude/rules/ was edited this session:

   cp .claude/agents/*.md .codex/agents/
   cp .claude/rules/*.md  .codex/rules/
   

7. Report what was written.

Output format

## Session logged — <date>

**Did this session**
- <what actually happened>

**Trackers reconciled**
- <Person Name>: <n> rows, <n> corrected
- <Second Person>: <n> rows, <n> corrected
- Mismatches found: <what, or none>

**PROJECT_NOTES**
- Phase: <n> (<changed from / unchanged>)
- Next action: <one thing>

**Vault**
- <note> → <path>
- Or: nothing vault-worthy this session

**Codex mirror:** synced | not needed

Rules

• Never log work that did not happen. An honest empty session is a session where the notes stay true.
• Never mark a phase complete when its deliverable is not on disk.
• Never write a contact's email address or phone number into the vault.
• One next action in PROJECT_NOTES.
• If the trackers and the files disagree repeatedly across sessions, say so in the report. That is a workflow bug, not a clerical one.
