Vault Closeday — End of Day Capture

Routing

Use when:

User says "closeday", "end of day", "wrap up", "log today"
Evening reflection time
User wants to capture what happened

Don't use when:

Morning planning (use vault-today)
Weekly review (use vault-graduate)

Vault Location

Default: ~/Documents/vault-notes

Before running: Check if the default path exists. If not, ask the user:

"I couldn't find your vault at ~/Documents/vault-notes. What's the path to your Obsidian vault?"

Store the path for the session once confirmed.

Daily notes: 02. Area/Daily Notes/

Workflow

Pull today's GitHub commits

Run gh to fetch today's pushed commits across the user's repos:

gh api graphql -f query='
  query {
    viewer {
      contributionsCollection(from: "{{TODAY_ISO}}T00:00:00Z", to: "{{TODAY_ISO}}T23:59:59Z") {
        commitContributionsByRepository {
          repository { nameWithOwner }
          contributions(first: 50) {
            nodes { occurredAt commitCount }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }'

Then for each repo with commits, get the actual messages:

gh api "/repos/{owner}/{repo}/commits?author={username}&since={{TODAY_ISO}}T00:00:00Z" \
  --jq '.[] | "\(.commit.message | split("\n")[0])"'

Summarize findings as a compact list grouped by repo:

repo-name: commit message 1, commit message 2, ...

If no commits found, note that and move on — the user may have done non-code work.

Gather input

Present the commit summary first, then prompt:

"Here's what I found from your GitHub today: [commit summary]

Now tell me about the rest of your day — work stuff, personal stuff, all of it. Wins, challenges, ideas, what you learned, anything unfinished, how you're feeling. I'll organize it."

If no commits were found, fall back to:

"No GitHub commits found for today. What happened? Work, personal, all of it — wins, challenges, ideas, what you learned, anything unfinished, how you're feeling. I'll organize it."
Categorize the dump

Merge the commit summary with the user's brain dump. Parse into:
- Wins — Things accomplished, successes
- Progress — What moved forward (even if not finished)
- Code — Notable commits/repos worked on (from GitHub data)
- Learnings — Insights, TILs, realizations
- Ideas — Random thoughts worth capturing
- Blockers — What got in the way
- Life — Personal highlights, health, family, hobbies, errands
- Tomorrow — What carries over

User: /closeday

Agent pulls GitHub commits:

Here's what I found from your GitHub today:

jwt-auth-pro: "fix token refresh race condition", "update refresh endpoint tests"

personal-site: "add dark mode toggle"

Now tell me about the rest of your day — work stuff, personal stuff, all of it. Wins, challenges, ideas, what you learned, anything unfinished, how you're feeling. I'll organize it.

User: took way longer than expected on the auth bug. learned that the issue was with token refresh timing. had an idea for a new onboarding flow. tomorrow need to finish tests and update docs. went for a run at lunch, felt great. kid had a school play tonight. feeling tired but satisfied.

- New onboarding flow concept (expand this later)

### Blocked 🚧
- Auth bug took longer than expected (scope creep)

Reflection

Tired but satisfied. Good deep work day despite the debugging rabbit hole.

Rules

Accept messy input — that's the point
Don't over-edit the user's words, just organize them
Always include a brief reflection/mood if mentioned
Create the daily note file if it doesn't exist
Keep sections even if empty (consistency helps patterns emerge)
