Commute

Log a commute leg. Argument: $ARGUMENTS (direction, times or duration).

Conventions

Read ~/Vaults/Notes/0-log/worklog/CLAUDE.md for the canonical worklog format — frontmatter schema, entry format, duration short forms, and client attribution rules.

Parse Arguments

Extract direction and time/duration from $ARGUMENTS:

• Direction: in, to work, to livonia, to office → morning commute. home, back, return → evening commute. Default: ask.
• Time pair: two times like 7:15am 8:30am → compute duration from the delta.
• Single duration: 1h15m, 45m, ~1h → use directly.
• If neither is provided, ask.

Examples:

• /commute in 7:15am 8:30am → "Commute to Livonia", 1h15m
• /commute home 45m → "Commute home", 45m
• /commute to work 1h → "Commute to Livonia", 1h
• /commute → ask direction and duration

Location

Write to: ~/Vaults/Notes/0-log/worklog/YYYY/MM/YYYY-MM-DD.md

Create year and month directories as needed. If today's worklog file did not exist before this run and you just created it, invoke /calendar-cleanup --auto immediately after writing the initial frontmatter — this fires the once-per-day silent calendar sweep. Continue with the rest of the procedure regardless of cleanup outcome.

Entry Format

## Commute to Livonia

Duration: 1h15m (DMP)

Or for the return:

## Commute home

Duration: 45m (DMP)

• Always attributed to DMP — commute is a cost of going to the office.
• event_type: commute in frontmatter entries.
• No body text needed unless the user provides details.

Frontmatter

When creating or appending to a daily file, always read the existing file first, then update the YAML frontmatter to reflect all entries (including the new one). See the worklog CLAUDE.md for the full frontmatter schema.

The entry in the frontmatter entries list uses event_type: commute:

  - title: "Commute to Livonia"
    duration: "1h15m"
    client: DMP
    event_type: commute
    tickets: []

Task Manager Integration

After adding the entry, check OmniFocus for matching tasks (e.g., "leave for work", "leave work"). If a match exists, ask if it should be marked complete or updated.
