Maintain a durable, tagged journal of a complex workflow so it can later be distilled into a reusable skill. Use this whenever beginning a complex, multi-step workflow (design work, automation build, CAD, RAG pipeline, website work, or anything non-trivial you might want to repeat), even if the user does not say "capture" or "log". If the work has sequencing, corrections, or hard-won discoveries worth keeping, start a worklog. Also use on resume to read an existing worklog after a context reset.

# Workflow Capture Maintain an append-only journal that survives compaction and `/clear`, capturing the signal (decisions, sequencing, corrections, dead ends) that should become a skill. Do not log keystrokes; the transcript already does that at the wrong altitude. Capture why, not just what. ## At session start 1. Determine the active workflow slug (kebab-case, e.g. `figma-site-redesign`). 2. Look for `_worklogs/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>/WORKLOG.md`. - If it exists, read it fully before doing anything. It is your memory. - If not, create the directory and a new WORKLOG.md with a one-line header naming the workflow and date. ## Tag schema Every entry carries exactly one tag: - DECISION: what was done and why -> a procedure step - SEQUENCE: X must precede Y -> ordered steps or preconditions - CORRECTION: user overrode you -> a hard rule - DEADEND: tried X, failed because Y -> a "do not do this" warning - CONVENTION: naming, structure, params, defaults -> reference material - DISCOVERY: tool quirk, API limit, gotcha -> environment notes - CHECKPOINT: state snapshot before clear or compaction -> resume anchor ## Entry format Append, never rewrite history. ``` ## [YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM] TAG One-line summary. Optional result and fix or lesson. Tags: comma, separated, keywords ``` ## When to append Append an entry the moment one of these happens: - The user corrects or overrides something (CORRECTION). - An approach fails and you switch (DEADEND). - A non-obvious ordering const
