Unified Worklog System

VerifiedCaution

Unified worklog system that automatically captures completed tasks, modified files, and decisions from Claude sessions into daily markdown files. Use /worklog to view today's summary, /worklog --morning for yesterday's rollup, or /worklog --weekly for a weekly overview. Ideal for replacing fragmented notes and sharing progress updates via Slack or Discord.

Automated summary

Unified worklog system that synthesizes Claude sessions into daily markdown files with clean bullet points, supporting weekly rollups for Slack sharing.

Strengths

  • Automates daily log creation from session data
  • Consolidates multiple tracking sources (checkpoints, states, modified files)
  • Generates weekly summaries ready for team communication channels
  • Supports automated posting to Discord/Slack via cron

Limitations

  • Depends on the existence and proper format of session state files
  • Requires git tracking of work directories to detect file changes
  • May miss context across different projects if not properly configured
When to use it

Use this skill when you want to automate logging your daily and weekly work from your Claude sessions.

When not to use it

Do not use it if you prefer manual logging or if you use a different project management system.

Security analysis

Caution
Quality score92/100

The skill uses Bash to execute Python scripts that post worklog contents to an external webhook. While legitimate, this introduces a data leakage risk if an attacker can manipulate the webhook URL or prompt the AI to run the script with sensitive data.

Findings
  • •Potential data exfiltration risk: skill includes automated posting of worklog contents to Discord via webhook, which could disclose sensitive project information if misconfigured.

/worklog - Unified Worklog System

One command to rule them all. Synthesizes your Claude sessions into shareable daily worklogs.

Usage

/worklog              # Today's work summary (aggregated across all sessions)
/worklog --morning    # Yesterday's comprehensive rollup (for morning standup)
/worklog --weekly     # Weekly rollup since last Monday
/worklog --yesterday  # Yesterday's summary
/worklog --slack      # Discord/Slack-optimized format

What It Does

Automatic (SessionEnd Hook)

Every session end automatically appends to ~/worklog/YYYY-MM-DD.md:

  • Completed tasks from todo list
  • In-progress tasks
  • Modified files (uncommitted git changes)

Manual (/worklog command)

  1. Scans session checkpoints and state files for the target date(s)
  2. Extracts files modified, tasks completed, decisions made, blockers
  3. Synthesizes into clean, human-readable bullet points
  4. Writes to ~/worklog/YYYY-MM-DD.md
  5. Outputs Slack-ready summary for #progress

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/unified-worklog-system-mmlj2ntw/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/unified-worklog-system-mmlj2ntw' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/unified-worklog-system-mmlj2ntw/download' --output '.skill-downloads/unified-worklog-system-mmlj2ntw/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/unified-worklog-system-mmlj2ntw/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/unified-worklog-system-mmlj2ntw/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

Tools declared by the author (check availability in your agent): Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Grep, Glob

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

Claude Code
test -f '.skill-downloads/unified-worklog-system-mmlj2ntw/SKILL.md' && test -s '.skill-downloads/unified-worklog-system-mmlj2ntw/SKILL.md' && mkdir -p '.claude/skills' && test ! -e '.claude/skills/worklog' && cp -R '.skill-downloads/unified-worklog-system-mmlj2ntw' '.claude/skills/worklog'

OpenSkills

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

Official OpenSkills installation
openskills install './.skill-downloads/unified-worklog-system-mmlj2ntw'

openskills read 'unified-worklog-system-mmlj2ntw'

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/unified-worklog-system-mmlj2ntw/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
