Git Journal

Generate a journal entry from your git history. Just say "journal this refactor" or "journal today's work" and I'll read recent commits and create a comprehensive entry.

Workflow

1. •Read Git Log - I analyze recent commits (you can specify time range)
2. •Generate Entry - I write a journal entry from the commit history
3. •Optional: Add Context - If you want to add insights beyond what's in the commits, tell me. Otherwise I'll work with what's there.
4. •Save - Write to docs/journal/YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM-slug.md

What Gets Captured

From git log:

• •Commit messages (the "what")
• •Changed files
• •Diff stats (lines added/removed)
• •Timestamps and authors

I infer and document:

• •Overall goal/theme of the work
• •Technical decisions visible in the commits
• •Progression and evolution of the work
• •Next steps based on commit patterns

Usage

Minimal:

• •"Journal this"
• •"Journal this refactor effort"
• •"Journal today's work"

With time range:

• •"Journal the last 4 hours"
• •"Journal since this morning"

With context (optional):

• •"Journal this. Key insight: we chose X over Y because..."

Requirements

• •Must be in a git repository
• •Must have commits in the time range (defaults to checking last 24 hours, shows recent commits)
