WORK LOGGING PROTOCOL

Index completed work for future context retrieval via semantic search.

When to use: Execute /log-work after every meaningful work unit (features, bugs, refactors, config changes).

Step 1: Generate Template

uv run .claude/skills/work-logger/scripts/create_template.py \
  --description "short-description" \
  --type feature|bugfix|refactor|docs|config

Output: private-docs/work-logs/YYYY-MM-DD-short-description.md

Step 2: Populate Log

Edit the generated file:

Metadata: Fill tags (YAML array) and files_changed
Content: Complete summary, Title, and all sections
Quality: Ensure self-contained, searchable text

Step 3: Index to Vector DB

uv run .claude/skills/sqlite-vectordb/scripts/add_entry.py \
  --file "private-docs/work-logs/YYYY-MM-DD-short-description.md" \
  --summary "One-line summary" \
  --tags "tag1,tag2"

Language: All indexed data (summary, tags) MUST be in English for vector DB compatibility
Integrity: Logs must be understandable in isolation with verified filenames/paths
Context: Use project conventions from CLAUDE.md
Completeness: Include decisions made and rationale

Valid usage:

# Step 1: Generate
uv run .claude/skills/work-logger/scripts/create_template.py \
  --description "add-user-auth" --type feature

# Step 2: Edit private-docs/work-logs/2026-01-16-add-user-auth.md

# Step 3: Index
uv run .claude/skills/sqlite-vectordb/scripts/add_entry.py \
  --file "private-docs/work-logs/2026-01-16-add-user-auth.md" \
  --summary "Implemented OAuth2 user authentication" \
  --tags "auth,oauth,security"
