description: Log daily accomplishments, reflect on the day, and prep tomorrow

End-of-day summary: auto-detect commits across repos, merge with manual entries, generate daily log, reflect.

WAVE 0: Gather Data (ALL PARALLEL, one message)

#	Tool	Call	Purpose
1	Bash	Scan repos under `~/Programming` for today's commits via `git log --oneline --since="today"` per repo	Collect commits
2	Read	`02_Journal/daily/{TODAY}.md`	Check if log exists (preserve Ship Log entries)
3	Read	`02_Journal/daily/{YESTERDAY}.md`	Extract uncompleted `- [ ]` tasks for carry-over
4	Read	`02_Journal/weekly/week-{YEAR}-W{WEEK_NUM}.md`	Weekly goal + MITs

Compute dates mentally (you know today's date from system context).

WAVE 1: Show + Ask

Display auto-detected data summary (repos, commits)
Show carried-over tasks from yesterday
Ask: "What else did you do today? (meetings, research, calls, ideas, decisions, learnings)"
- If user says nothing/skip, proceed with auto-detected data only

WAVE 2: Generate Log

Create or UPDATE 02_Journal/daily/{TODAY}.md.

If file already exists

PRESERVE these sections:

## Ship Log (timestamped entries from /log and /ship)
Any manual - [HH:MM] entries

UPDATE these sections with fresh data:

## Accomplishments
## Stats
## Projects Touched

Template

---
type: daily
week: "[[week-{YEAR}-W{WEEK_NUM}]]"
rating:
---
# {TODAY} - {Weekday}

## Weekly Goal
{from weekly file, or "No weekly goal set -- run /week"}

## Today's Tasks
- [ ] {from carry-over or user input}

## Pending (from yesterday)
- [ ] {uncompleted tasks from yesterday's log}

## Accomplishments

### {repo} ({n} commits)
1. {commit message -- expand with context}

### Other
1. {user-provided activities}

## Projects Touched
1. **{repo}**: {one-line summary of what changed}

## Content Ideas
{Generate 2-4 SPECIFIC ideas with hooks:}
1. Tweet: "{actual hook text}"
2. Thread: "{topic}" -- {why it's interesting}

## Learnings
1. {specific technical or strategic insight}

## Tomorrow
- [ ] {planned tasks}

## Ship Log
{preserved from existing file}

## Stats
- **Total commits**: {n}
- **Repos touched**: {n} ({list})

WAVE 3: Day Close (Reflection)

Appends a reflection section after the main log is generated.

1. Task Completion Audit

Compare Today's Tasks + Pending vs Accomplishments:

TASK AUDIT
Planned:
  [x] Ship feature X          <- DONE
  [ ] Fix bug Y               <- carry over
Unplanned:
  [+] Debugged webhook         <- reactive

Calculate: completion_rate = done / total * 100

2. MIT Progress

Check weekly MITs from the weekly file:

MIT PROGRESS (Week {N})
1. [===>    ] Project A (40%)
2. [=>      ] Project B (15%)
3. [=======>] Project C (80%)

3. Append to daily log

## Day Close

### Completion: {rate}%
- Planned: {done}/{total}
- Unplanned: {n} items emerged

### Carry Over -> Tomorrow
- [ ] {unresolved item 1}
- [ ] {unresolved item 2}

### MIT Status
{progress bars from weekly MITs}

### Rating: {1-7}

4. Ask for day rating

Ask: "Day rating? (1-7, where 5=good, 7=life-changing)" Write the rating to both the ## Day Close section AND the YAML frontmatter rating: field.

Rules

PRESERVE Ship Log entries when updating existing files
Content ideas must have SPECIFIC hooks
YAML frontmatter: quote wikilinks ("[[week-2026-W07]]")
Carry-over items from Day Close feed into tomorrow's /today via WAVE 0 step 3
