# groove-utilities-memory-log-daily Writes the end-of-day entry to .groove/memory/daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md: what got done, which commits landed, what carries over. - skill · `type=skill` · Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode · 581 installs · ★ 6 - Author: andreadellacorte - License: MIT · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/andreadellacorte/groove/tree/HEAD/skills/groove-utilities-memory-log-daily/SKILL.md - Updated: 2026-07-24 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/groove-utilities-memory-log-daily ## What it does Run this skill when the workday ends. It creates or appends `.groove/memory/daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md` with closeout sections: Done today, Git, Tasks, Learnings and Open/Next. If the file already exists from the morning start, the skill appends instead of overwriting, so the next daily start can confirm yesterday had an end. The Done today section comes from completed tasks matched by date plus `git diff` output, never from unfinished work. A finished task with no resolution in its body triggers a question before anything is written. Vague phrasing gets the same treatment. File structure follows the template at `skills/groove-utilities-memory-log-daily/templates/daily.md`, and the `.groove/memory/daily/` directory is created if missing. One detail worth knowing: when `.groove/.cache/pending-capture.md` exists, staged by the `session-capture` hook, the skill pre-fills Done today and Git from it. You review and edit a draft instead of starting blank. The cache file is deleted once the log is written. This is an end-of-day tool only — calling it at daily start goes against how it works. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add andreadellacorte/groove --skill groove-utilities-memory-log-daily -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/groove-utilities-memory-log-daily/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/groove-utilities-memory-log-daily/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add andreadellacorte/groove --skill groove-utilities-memory-log-daily -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/groove-utilities-memory-log-daily/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add andreadellacorte/groove --skill groove-utilities-memory-log-daily -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/groove-utilities-memory-log-daily/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install andreadellacorte/groove groove-utilities-memory-log-daily ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/groove-utilities-memory-log-daily/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add andreadellacorte/groove --skill groove-utilities-memory-log-daily -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/andreadellacorte/groove --path skills/groove-utilities-memory-log-daily ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/groove-utilities-memory-log-daily/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add andreadellacorte/groove --skill groove-utilities-memory-log-daily -a opencode ``` ### Claude.ai **Claude.ai** - Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/andreadellacorte/groove/tree/HEAD/skills/groove-utilities-memory-log-daily/SKILL.md ## When to use it - record what actually shipped today, not what was planned - summarise commits and changed files without retyping them - carry unfinished tasks into tomorrow - capture learnings before they fade - append a closeout to a file the morning start already created ## Example prompts - Write today's daily memory log entry - Close out the day: pull commits and finished tasks into `.groove/memory/daily/` - Append today's summary to the daily log file ## Source text · SKILL.md · MIT Below is the content of a third-party file.

BEGIN THIRD-PARTY FILE ae4afa36748a6259 ```text --- name: groove-utilities-memory-log-daily description: "Write the daily memory log entry. Use at end of day to record what happened." license: MIT allowed-tools: Read Write Edit Glob Grep Bash(git:*) AskUserQuestion metadata: author: andreadellacorte --- # groove-utilities-memory-log-daily ## Outcome `.groove/memory/daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md` is created or updated with a structured end entry. The file may already exist from daily start (start-of-day structure); if so, append the closeout sections. The file is written so that the next daily start can verify yesterday had an end. ## Acceptance Criteria - File exists at `.groove/memory/daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md` after command completes - "Done today" section contains granular multi-level bullets sourced from completed tasks and git diff - Git section summarises commits and changed files for the day - Tasks section shows task summary by status - Learnings section is populated (not blank) - Open/Next section captures carry-forward items - If file already exists, content is updated/appended rather than overwritten ## Constraints - Memory path is always `.groove/memory/` - Write at daily end only — never called at daily start. File may already exist from daily start; append closeout sections rather than overwriting. - "Done today" must be sourced from: completed tasks (date-matched) and `git diff` output — not from incomplete work - **Pending capture**: if `.groove/.cache/pending-capture.md` exists (staged by the `session-capture` Stop hook), use it to pre-fill the "Done today" and "Git" sections — its commits/working-changes are the raw material, so the user reviews and edits a draft rather than starting blank. After the daily log is written successfully, delete `.groove/.cache/pending-capture.md`. - If a completed task has no resolution in its body, ask user for a summary before writing the bullet - Use template at `skills/groove-utilities-memory-log-daily/templates/daily.md` for file structure - If the directory `.groove/memory/daily/` does not exist, create it before writing - Vague entries ("worked on stuff") should trigger a clarification ask before writing ``` END THIRD-PARTY FILE ae4afa36748a6259 The third-party file has ended.
