**Good entries:**
- "Created YouTube analytics inbox item with 3 integration options"
- "Refactored authentication to use JWT instead of sessions"
- "Decision: Use Postgres over SQLite (need concurrent writes)"
**Bad entries:**
- "Worked on stuff"
- "Had a conversation about the project"
- "Did some research"
**Be specific.** Capture what was DONE, not what was discussed.
**Why this matters:** Vault-analyst reads these logs to find patterns. Vague entries = weak pattern detection. Specific entries = actionable automation recommendations.
