Merge Chronicle session records into a durable project ledger while preserving evidence, ownership, decisions, and conflicts. Use when organizing captured sessions by project, creating or refreshing a Chronicle PROJECT.md, consolidating a project timeline, recording technical decisions, or separating individual contribution from team work.

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.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
10 rules. About 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 6 are very specific to this project.

Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

This author's own choices. Worth a look.

Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Update Project
Maintain one local project ledger from many session records without erasing history or overstating contribution.
Resolve Inputs
Let <plugin-root> be ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} when Claude Code supplies it;
otherwise use the directory two levels above this SKILL.md. Resolve the vault
with Chronicle's CLI and use:
<plugin-root>/docs/DATA_MODEL.ko.mdfor data and review rules;<plugin-root>/templates/project/for ledger structure;chronicle/projects/<project-id>/for project data;chronicle/sessions/andchronicle/inbox/unclassified/for source records.
If the project is not explicit, run resolve-project. Never create or merge a
new project solely from a suggested ID. Ask the user to confirm the project
name and whether it is new.
Update Workflow
- Read the existing project files before editing them.
- Select source sessions that reference the project and have not already been incorporated. Use source session IDs for idempotency.
- If creating a confirmed project, initialize:
PROJECT.mdTIMELINE.mdOWNERSHIP.mdDECISIONS.mdEVIDENCE.mdSTAR.mdQUIZ_HISTORY.mdUse[]for unknownsource_paths,git_remotes, oraliases; do not add empty strings merely to fill the template.
- Merge each fact into the narrowest file:
- purpose, problem, scope, architecture, constraints, status, outcomes:
PROJECT.md; - chronological session summaries:
TIMELINE.md; - direct and shared contribution:
OWNERSHIP.md; - alternatives, rationale, trade-offs, and reversals:
DECISIONS.md; - claim state and supporting references:
EVIDENCE.md.
- purpose, problem, scope, architecture, constraints, status, outcomes:
- Preserve manually written material and unknown sections. Prefer appending or targeted edits over regenerating whole files.
- Do not duplicate a timeline or decision entry that already cites the same session and subject.
- Retain
[confirmed],[inferred], and[needs-evidence]labels. Upgrade a label only when new direct evidence or user confirmation supports it. - Separate
Directly OwnedfromShared Responsibility. Do not infer ownership from the fact that the session discussed or edited an area. - When new information conflicts with the ledger, preserve both accounts and
add a visible
Conflict — needs reviewnote with their evidence. Do not pick a winner silently. - When the user confirms an unclassified record's project, update its
projectfield and move it frominbox/unclassified/to the matchingsessions/YYYY/MM/directory. Preservecapturedstatus and validate it. - Update
updated_at, then validatePROJECT.mdwith Chronicle's CLI.
Hybrid Review
After merging, ask only about high-impact uncertainty: ownership, numerical results, decision rationale, project identity, or a conflict. Ask one concise question at a time.
When the user resolves every critical item for a source session, change that
session from captured to reviewed and add user-confirmed:<date> where
appropriate. Leave unresolved sessions as captured; project timelines may
still cite them with their status.
Report
Summarize files changed, sessions incorporated, duplicate entries skipped, conflicts found, and critical review questions left. Never describe inferred outcomes as verified.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
