swelog

Daily Workflow

  1. Write notes in WORK.md as the day goes under the ## Log heading in Obsidian.

  2. Optionally fetch activity from GitHub, Google Calendar, or Linear:

    Terminal window
    swelog fetch github
    swelog fetch google-calendar
    swelog fetch linear

  3. Review and edit WORK.md. Integration sections are created only after the corresponding integration is used.

  4. File the day:

    Terminal window
    swelog log

    This writes Daily/MM-DD-YYYY.md and resets WORK.md. Pass --keep to leave WORK.md alone.

Want a written summary instead?

Section titled “Want a written summary instead?”

swelog summarize does the same job, but sends your notes to a language model first and writes back a summary with your raw notes preserved underneath. It is opt-in and needs llm and llmModel in your config. See Summarization.

Weekly logs are summaries by nature, so they live there too: swelog summarize week rolls up the daily logs swelog log produced.

Missed a day?

Section titled “Missed a day?”

See Backfilling a Missed Day.
