Skill Content

Create logs in /docs/logs (repo-root relative path docs/logs) with deterministic naming and content format.

Workflow

Ensure docs/logs exists.
Use the current local date in YYYY-MM-DD format unless the user explicitly gives a date.
Build the next filename index for that date:

Match existing files: YYYY-MM-DD-NN-*.md
NN is a 2-digit zero-padded increment starting at 01
Pick max(NN) + 1 for that date

Build a slug from the title:

Lowercase
Replace spaces/punctuation with -
Collapse repeated -
Trim leading/trailing -

Create the file:

docs/logs/YYYY-MM-DD-NN-slug-title.md
