tomevault-io Gather Project Metadata
Collect metadata for documentation frontmatter.
What to Gather
- Current timestamp (ISO format with timezone)
- Git commit hash
- Git branch name
- Repository name
- Project name (from directory or package.json)
- Feature slug (if in feature directory context)
How to Gather
Run the metadata collection script:
~/.claude/scripts/collect-metadata.sh
Or gather manually:
# Timestamp
date -u +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ"
# Git info
git rev-parse HEAD
git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD
git remote get-url origin | sed 's/.*[:/]\(.*\)\.git/\1/'
# Project name
basename $(pwd)
# Feature slug (if applicable)
FEATURE_DIR=$(pwd | grep -oE 'thoughts/[0-9]{4}-[^/]+' || echo "")
if [ -n "$FEATURE_DIR" ]; then
basename "$FEATURE_DIR"
fi
Usage in Documents

---
date: 2025-12-23T10:30:00Z
git_commit: abc123...

repository: github.com/eveld/claude
