Summarize the current conversation session and append results to the weekly agent-log. Use when user says "log this", "session log", "summarize this session", or asks to write results to the agent-log.
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
9 rules. 0 are common, 7 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 13 edited versions we read keep these.
7
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- could be automatic: a setting could enforce it
- Very specific: line 78
If that date's heading (## YYYY-MM-DD) already exists in the file, append new topics under it
- Distinctive: line 79
If the date heading is not yet in the file, add it in the correct reverse-chronological position
- Distinctive: line 80
If the file doesn't exist, create it
- Distinctive: line 82
Cross-week dates: If a topic belongs to a date in a different ISO week than the target file, note this to the user and ask whether to add …
- Distinctive: line 87
If user edited/corrected something → use the corrected version, ignore earlier drafts
- Very specific: line 90
If today's ## YYYY-MM-DD heading already has bullets, add new ones at the end — never delete or rewrite existing bullets
- Distinctive: line 91
If a topic from this session overlaps with an existing bullet, add the new details as additional nested bullets under a new topic bullet — …
- Distinctive: line 100
Keep bullets ruthlessly short — one sentence, no semicolons chaining multiple thoughts
- Distinctive: line 102
Do NOT include the full chunk content in the log — just the marker
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 13 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Session Log
Summarize the current conversation and append to the weekly agent-log file.
Output Location
YYYY-wWW Agent Log.md
Where YYYY-wWW is the ISO week of today's date. Calculate with:
date +%Y-w%VFormat Rules
- Reverse chronological order — newest day on top
- One
##heading per day — format:## YYYY-MM-DD - Bullets, not subheadings — inside a day, use plain bullet
- Topic titleas topic separator, not###. No bold, no formatting on topic lines. - Details as nested bullets — one sentence per sub-bullet, can nest if needed for details. No bold. Nesting uses a TAB.
- CHUNK markers — if a topic produced a reusable output (a plan, a summary, a framework, a draft message), add nested bullet:
CHUNK: <descriptive title> - No explanatory text — no intros, no "in this session we discussed", no meta-commentary
- Append, don't replace — when a day heading already exists, add new bullets under it without removing existing content
Example
## 2026-02-28
- Analiza strategii X vs framework Y + moje obserwacje
- Strategia jest silna w A i B, słaba w C — brakuje fosy i horyzontu 3+lat.
- Naming produktu "Rescue" implikuje że kupujący jest ofiarą, co blokuje referencje.
- Anty-segment nie jest sprawdzalny z zewnątrz — to opis doświadczenia, nie filtr.
- CHUNK: 3-zdaniowe podsumowanie strategii
- CHUNK: Scorecard po 6 osiach
- Decyzja: follow-up z klientem
- Nie wysyłać feedbacku (nie prosił), wysłać link do artykułu jako wartość bez CTA.Step-by-Step Workflow
1. Determine the target file
WEEK=$(date +%Y-w%V)Target: ${WEEK} agent-log.md
2. Read existing file (if any)
The file may already have entries from earlier sessions this week. Read it first to avoid overwriting.
3. Review the full conversation and determine dates
Scan the entire conversation history. Identify:
- Topics — distinct subjects discussed (group related back-and-forth into one topic)
- Decisions — what was decided or concluded
- Outputs — any reusable artifacts (summaries, plans, draft messages, frameworks, scorecards)
Date attribution: A conversation may span multiple days. Determine the correct date for each topic using these signals (in priority order):
- System reminders about date changes ("The date has changed. Today's date is now...")
- File names with dates (e.g.,
2026-02-26 client email.mdwas created/discussed on that date) - Context from session summaries — if the session was continued from a compacted conversation, the summary may mention which work happened when
- Default — if no date signal exists, use today's date
Group topics by their actual date, not just "today."
4. Write the log entry
For each date that has topics:
- If that date's heading (
## YYYY-MM-DD) already exists in the file, append new topics under it - If the date heading is not yet in the file, add it in the correct reverse-chronological position
- If the file doesn't exist, create it
Cross-week dates: If a topic belongs to a date in a different ISO week than the target file, note this to the user and ask whether to add it to the current file or the correct week's file.
Condensation rules:
- Multiple related exchanges → one topic bullet
- Back-and-forth refinement → only the final conclusion matters
- If user edited/corrected something → use the corrected version, ignore earlier drafts
Append rules:
- If today's
## YYYY-MM-DDheading already has bullets, add new ones at the end — never delete or rewrite existing bullets - If a topic from this session overlaps with an existing bullet, add the new details as additional nested bullets under a new topic bullet — don't merge into existing text
5. Confirm
Tell the user what was logged (topic titles only, one line).
Important Notes
- The user may have a preferred topic title style — if they edited a previous entry, match that style
- Keep bullets ruthlessly short — one sentence, no semicolons chaining multiple thoughts
- CHUNKs reference outputs that exist in the conversation, not in files — they're bookmarks for the user to find later
- Do NOT include the full chunk content in the log — just the marker
- Language: match the language the conversation was conducted in (use the user's language)

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.
Used alongsideProjects with it also use ml-training-recipe, replication and 10 more.
Other files people use alongside this one.
Files found in the same public projects as a version of this one, more often than they turn up anywhere else. Each project counts once, large collections count for less, and this file's own repository is left out.
advaitpaliwalSkillml-training-recipe
Find implementable ML training recipes from papers, datasets, docs, and code. Use when the user wants to fine-tune, train, reproduce, or choose a practical ML method, dataset, hyperparameter setup, or benchmark recipe.

JaimeParkerSkillpaper-code-audit
Perform three-way cross-validation of a research paper by comparing the original paper text (via Zotero), official code implementation (via Git), and personal Obsidian notes. Use this skill whenever the user wants to "audit a paper", "verify paper claims against code", "cross-check notes with implementation", "triangulate paper + code + notes", "find discrepancies between paper and code", or mentions wanting a deep, structured comparison of a paper's claims against its implementation and their own notes. Also trigger when the user asks to "analyze this paper thoroughly" with code available, or when they want to systematically reconcile what the paper says, what the code does, and what their notes claim.

JimLiuSkillpdf-explore
Use this skill when the user has attached a PDF, paper, report, or other document and the answer needs content from more than one place in it: summarize the methods or any other section, compare sections, find where a topic is discussed, read a value or label off a figure or chart, or find/list/extract every instance of something across the whole document (datasets, benchmarks, citations, figures, table rows, accession numbers — including appendices). Skip it only for a single lookup of 1–4 pages quoted in your very next response — `read_file(pages=[...])` attaches pages as images that are dropped from context after one turn, so multi-section answers end up re-reading the same ranges repeatedly. Parses the PDF once in the Python kernel: `pdf_pages` (pages as persistent text), `pdf_outline` (TOC), `pdf_scan` (rank pages by relevance), `pdf_map`/`pdf_extract` (per-page summary / structured fields via parallel haiku calls). For PDF creation/manipulation, use reportlab/pypdf directly.
