Daily Log

The daily log is agent memory between sessions. Every conversation starts by checking it.

When to Use

• Session start → check if today's log exists
• After completing work → update log
• When blocked → note blocker
• End of session → summarize

CopySecond Brain/Operations/Periodic Notes/Daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md

Procedure

At Session Start

1. Get today's date (YYYY-MM-DD)
2. Check if Second Brain/Operations/Periodic Notes/Daily/{date}.md exists
3. If exists: read it for context
4. If missing: ask user if they want to create one

During Work

Add timestamped entries:

CopyHH:MM — [Topic]
[What happened / learned / blocked]

At Session End

Update the End of Day section:

• Done: what was completed
• Carried: what moves to tomorrow
