name: work-logger description: >- Record per-task work logs into each work folder's SQLite DB and update the global work_index.db summary after meaningful steps. Use whenever work starts or finishes.

Work Logger Skill

This skill records and references work logs in each work folder's SQLite DB and in the aggregate DB at the base folder.

Included Script

• scripts/manage_work_logs.py : ensure/insert/query for work_logs

Target DBs

• Work folder: work/<project>/work_logs.db (auto-create if missing)
• Base folder: work_index/work_index.db (auto-create if missing)

When to Record

• At work start (request received / folder chosen)
• After main changes
• When tests are run
• At completion (include reply summary)

Fields to Record (work folder DB)

• query: summary of the user's request
• action: start / update / test / finish
• detail: what was done
• slack_thread: channel_id:thread_ts
• outputs: summary of PRs or deliverables
• metadata: extra info (JSON)

Implementation Notes

• Use the script above for log insert/query; auto-create DB if missing.
• If schemas differ, extend schema.sql to align them.

Example Usage

Create/append a work log

Copypython scripts/manage_work_logs.py ensure
python scripts/manage_work_logs.py insert \
  --query "Fix login screen" \
  --action update \
  --detail "Adjust validation in Login.tsx" \
  --slack-thread "CXXXX:123456.789" \
  --outputs "PR #12" \
  --metadata '{"branch":"codex/login-fix"}'

Notes

• Do not store secrets in the DB.
• Store summaries, not full Slack conversations.
