Gist Information

• Daily Log Data Gist ID: 5e2da7e26d47e0e734935cdcdbb1df73
• Data Update Command: gh gist edit 5e2da7e26d47e0e734935cdcdbb1df73

Process

1. Download current log: gh gist view 5e2da7e26d47e0e734935cdcdbb1df73 --raw > /tmp/daily-log.md

2. Ask the template questions from the daily log:

   • What was the main objective for today's session?
   • How long did we work together today?
   • What was your role/involvement in the work? (directing, collaborating, reviewing, etc.)
   • What specific challenge(s) did we encounter that were most significant?
   • What was the most valuable part of our collaboration today?
   • Any specific lessons learned or insights you'd like documented?
   • Are there any follow-up items or things to remember for future sessions?
   • How would you rate the overall success of today's session? (1-10 scale)

3. Check if today's date section exists (## YYYY-MM-DD format)

   • If section exists: append new session entry under that date
   • If section doesn't exist: create new date section and add entry

4. Format the session entry with:

   • Session Overview (duration, objective, success rating)
   • What We Accomplished ✅
   • Challenges Encountered 🔧
   • Most Valuable Collaboration
   • Key Insight
   • Follow-Up Items 📝
   • Role Distribution
   • Success Factors (if rating 6+)

5. Update the local copy with the new entry in the correct date section

6. Clean duplicate headers: Check if file starts with duplicate "Movable Ink + Claude Daily Log" lines and remove them, keeping only the markdown header "# Movable Ink + Claude Daily Log"

7. Upload updated log: gh gist edit 5e2da7e26d47e0e734935cdcdbb1df73 /tmp/daily-log.md

8. Confirm the update was successful
