# skill: /log

**Location:** `custom-claude-skills/skills/log/SKILL.md`

## Purpose

End-of-session logging. Captures key decisions, gotchas, open questions, and process notes into `memory/log/YYYY-MM-DD.<HHMMSS>.md` for later reflection. Run before ending a session.

## Usage

```
/log
```

No arguments. Reviews the full conversation history automatically.

## How it works

1. Creates `memory/log/` if needed
2. Reviews the conversation and extracts: Summary, Decisions, Gotchas (tagged with `[topic]`), Open Questions, Key Context, Process Notes
3. Writes a structured log file — empty sections are omitted
4. Prunes old logs: deletes reflected logs older than `retention_days` (default 7), warns about unreflected logs older than `warn_unreflected_days` (default 14)

## Part of the knowledge pipeline

`/log` → `/reflect-logs` → `/distill-best-practices`

Raw session logs are input for `/reflect-logs`, which routes entries into topic memory files.

## Gotchas

- Trivial sessions can be skipped — the skill says so if nothing worth logging happened
- `[topic]` tags on gotchas should match existing memory file topics for routing by `/reflect-logs`
