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.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈4

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 6

    Very specific

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

  • could be automatic: a setting could enforce it
  1. Very specific:

    If the project is not explicit, run resolve-project.

    line 22
  2. Distinctive:

    Read the existing project files before editing them.

    line 28
  3. Distinctive:

    If creating a confirmed project, initialize:

  4. Very specific:

    Use [] for unknown source_paths, git_remotes, or aliases.

  5. Distinctive:

    Do not duplicate a timeline or decision entry that already cites the same session and subject.

    line 50
  6. Very specific:

    When new information conflicts with the ledger, preserve both accounts and add a visible Conflict — needs review note with their evidence.

    When the user confirms an unclassified record's project, update its project field and move it from inbox/unclassified/ to the matching …

  8. Very specific:

    Update updated_at, then validate PROJECT.md with Chronicle's CLI.

  9. Distinctive:

    After merging, ask only about high-impact uncertainty: ownership, numerical results, decision rationale, project identity, or a conflict.

≈ “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.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

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.md for data and review rules;
  • <plugin-root>/templates/project/ for ledger structure;
  • chronicle/projects/<project-id>/ for project data;
  • chronicle/sessions/ and chronicle/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

  1. Read the existing project files before editing them.
  2. Select source sessions that reference the project and have not already been incorporated. Use source session IDs for idempotency.
  3. If creating a confirmed project, initialize:
    • PROJECT.md
    • TIMELINE.md
    • OWNERSHIP.md
    • DECISIONS.md
    • EVIDENCE.md
    • STAR.md
    • QUIZ_HISTORY.md Use [] for unknown source_paths, git_remotes, or aliases; do not add empty strings merely to fill the template.
  4. 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.
  5. Preserve manually written material and unknown sections. Prefer appending or targeted edits over regenerating whole files.
  6. Do not duplicate a timeline or decision entry that already cites the same session and subject.
  7. Retain [confirmed], [inferred], and [needs-evidence] labels. Upgrade a label only when new direct evidence or user confirmation supports it.
  8. Separate Directly Owned from Shared Responsibility. Do not infer ownership from the fact that the session discussed or edited an area.
  9. When new information conflicts with the ledger, preserve both accounts and add a visible Conflict — needs review note with their evidence. Do not pick a winner silently.
  10. When the user confirms an unclassified record's project, update its project field and move it from inbox/unclassified/ to the matching sessions/YYYY/MM/ directory. Preserve captured status and validate it.
  11. Update updated_at, then validate PROJECT.md with 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.

No reviews yet

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

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

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.
