End of Day Wrap-up

End-of-day command to capture what happened, consolidate notes, and set up for tomorrow.

When to Use

• End of a work session

• End of the day

• When switching contexts for a while

• RA may suggest this after 4pm based on user preferences

Execution Steps

1. Gather Today's Context

Check git activity:

Files changed today

git diff --stat

Commits made today

git log --oneline --since="midnight" --author="$(git config user.name)"

Uncommitted changes

git status --short

Read existing context:

• .research/logs/activity.md

• Check for any /note entries from today

• tasks.md

• Check for completed tasks today

• Recent file modifications in key directories (scripts/ , manuscript/ , data/ )

2. Check for Today's Notes

Look for entries in activity.md that match today's date pattern ## [YYYY-MM-DD] .

If notes exist:

• Extract them to integrate into the full summary

• These become the seed for the "Notes" section

3. Draft Activity Entry

Generate a draft using the Quick Session Entry template:

[YYYY-MM-DD]

Session focus: [Inferred from git commits and file changes]

Accomplished:

• [Generated from git commits]
• [Generated from file changes]
• [Any completed tasks from tasks.md]

Decisions made:

• [Ask user if not apparent]

Next steps:

• [Suggest based on context]

Notes:

• [Integrate any /note entries from today]
• [Any observations from the work]

4. Present Draft to User

Show the draft and ask:

Here's a summary of today's work:

[DRAFT ENTRY]

Anything to add or change?

• Decisions you made?
• Challenges you hit?
• Thoughts for tomorrow?

(Or say "looks good" to save as-is)

5. Integrate User Feedback

If user provides additional input:

• Incorporate their comments into appropriate sections

• Add any mentioned decisions to "Decisions made"

• Add any mentioned challenges to "Notes"

• Update "Next steps" if they specify priorities

6. Save Entry

Prepend the final entry to .research/logs/activity.md :

• Add after the templates section (after the --- separator following "Digital Documentation Standards")

• Ensure proper formatting with blank lines

7. Offer Follow-up Actions

Entry saved! Before you go:

A) Commit your changes? [if uncommitted work exists] B) Update tasks.md? [if accomplishments suggest completed tasks] C) All set - see you next time!

Example Output

📝 Wrapping up your day...

Based on your git activity and file changes, here's today's summary:

2024-12-02

Session focus: Pipeline development - preprocessing stage

Accomplished:

• Added data validation script (scripts/validate_input.py)
• Fixed edge case in preprocessing (commit: "handle empty rows")
• Updated params.yaml with new threshold values

Decisions made:

• [None detected - any decisions to note?]

Next steps:

• Run full pipeline with new validation
• Review output quality metrics

Notes:

• From earlier: "Realized the preprocessing step might be dropping too many samples"

Anything to add or change?

Edge Cases

No git activity today

I don't see any git commits or file changes today.

Did you work on something outside this project, or would you like to log some notes about planning/thinking work?

User says "nothing to add"

Save the draft as-is with a confirmation:

Saved! Your next session will pick up right where you left off.

Very short session

If minimal activity, offer a simpler format:

Looks like a lighter session. Quick note instead of full entry?

[User provides brief note]

Got it, added to today's log.
