Collect metadata for documentation frontmatter.
Run the metadata collection script:
~/.claude/scripts/collect-metadata.sh
Or gather manually:
# Timestamp
date -u +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ"
# Git info
git rev-parse HEAD
git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD
git remote get-url origin | sed 's/.*[:/]\(.*\)\.git/\1/'
# Project name
basename $(pwd)
# Feature slug (if applicable)
FEATURE_DIR=$(pwd | grep -oE 'thoughts/[0-9]{4}-[^/]+' || echo "")
if [ -n "$FEATURE_DIR" ]; then
basename "$FEATURE_DIR"
fi
Insert gathered metadata into frontmatter:
---
date: 2025-12-23T10:30:00Z
git_commit: abc123...
branch: main
repository: github.com/eveld/claude
---
When using templates, replace these placeholders:
{ISO_TIMESTAMP} - ISO 8601 timestamp{GIT_COMMIT} - Full commit hash{BRANCH_NAME} - Current branch{REPOSITORY} - Repository path{PROJECT_NAME} - Project name{DATE} - Simple date (YYYY-MM-DD){FEATURE_SLUG} - Feature slug (e.g., "0005-authentication")
