Dev Journal Generator

Generate a structured dev journal entry by analyzing the current conversation.

Process

1. •

   Scan conversation for:

   • •Code changes and implementations
   • •Debugging sessions and fixes
   • •Architecture decisions
   • •Performance optimizations (before/after metrics)
   • •Configuration changes
   • •Learnings and gotchas (explicit or implicit)
2. •

   Group related work by feature or area

3. •

   Extract learnings even when not explicitly stated (e.g., "had to add X because Y" → learning about Y)

4. •

   Omit empty sections

Output Format

## DD MMM YYYY

### [Session Title - descriptive, searchable]

**What I Did**

- [Grouped by feature/area, technical but scannable]
- [Use sub-bullets for related details]

**Results** (only if metrics/outcomes exist)

- [Before/after numbers, improvements achieved]

**Key Learnings**

- [Reusable insights, gotchas, patterns discovered]
- [Frame as future-reference: "X requires Y" not "I learned that..."]

**Next** (only if unresolved items exist)

- [Blockers, queued work, open questions]

Style Rules

• •Concise but complete enough to understand 6 months later
• •Technical depth: assume stack knowledge, skip basics
• •Direct tone, no fluff or filler
• •Session title should be specific and searchable (e.g., "ISR + Performance Push" not "Working on site")
• •Learnings as declarative statements: "Next.js 15 requires explicit fetch cache config" not "I learned that..."
• •Group related items, don't list chronologically
