Turns the month's daily memory files into one summary at .groove/memory/monthly/YYYY-MM.md, with themes, outcomes and learnings.
npx skills add andreadellacorte/groove --skill groove-utilities-memory-log-monthly -a claude-codeWhat groove-utilities-memory-log-monthly does
This skill folds a month of daily notes into a single file. It writes .groove/memory/monthly/YYYY-MM.md with three parts: recurring themes, the completions and milestones that mattered, and the patterns drawn across the month. Raw detail stays in the daily files; the output is the summary.
It reads and edits files, searches them (Read Write Edit Glob Grep), can run git and ask you a question. An existing monthly file gets updated in place instead of replaced. Memory always lives under .groove/memory/, and the file layout comes from skills/groove-utilities-memory-log-monthly/templates/monthly.md.
Run it on the last weekday of the month, or when you ask for it directly. If the month has no daily files in .groove/memory/daily/, it says so and stops rather than inventing a summary.
What it helps with
- roll a month of daily notes into one file
- spot themes that keep coming back during the month
- record finished work and milestones
- draw learnings across a month of entries
- refresh an existing monthly file without losing its text

.groove/memory/monthly/2025-03.mdfrom the March daily entries - Update the monthly summary with themes, key outcomes and learnings

Sections cover themes, key outcomes, and learnings at monthly scope. ## Acceptance Criteria - File exists at `.groove/memory/monthly/YYYY-MM.md` after command completes - Themes section identifies major recurring topics from the month - Key outcomes section lists significant completions and milestones - Learnings section synthesises patterns and insights across the month - Content is rolled up from daily files — not duplicated raw detail ## Constraints - Memory path is always `.groove/memory/` - Only run on the last weekday of the month, or when user explicitly requests - Roll up from that month's daily files in `.groove/memory/daily/` - If no daily files exist for the month, note that and exit gracefully - Use template at `skills/groove-utilities-memory-log-monthly/templates/monthly.md` for file structure - If file already exists, update rather than overwrite
