| name | work-log |
| description | Log accomplishments, solved problems, learnings, and milestones to Obsidian daily notes via the Obsidian CLI. Also answers questions about the Obsidian CLI. Triggers on "/log", "log accomplishment", "log what I did", "work log", "obsidian cli", "daily note", or when user wants to record something noteworthy they did. |
Append structured entries to today's Obsidian daily note. Two modes: logging and CLI reference.
Mode 1: Log entry
Quick invocation (args provided)
Parse args: /log <type> "<description>"
Types: accomplishment, problem-solved, learning, milestone
Interactive invocation (no args or incomplete)
Prompt for missing fields using AskUserQuestion:
- Entry type (if not provided)
- Description (if not provided)
Append workflow
obsidian daily:read vault=Personal 2>&1 | grep -v "Loading\|installer"
obsidian daily:prepend vault=Personal content="## Work Log\n\n| Time | Type | Entry |\n|------|------|-------|\n"
obsidian daily:append vault=Personal content="| HH:MM | <type> | <description> |"
Important:
- Use
inline flag when appending table rows so they stay on the same line
- Get current time via
date +%H:%M
- Escape special characters in content (pipes
| → \|)
- The
vault=Personal is the default — override with vault=<name> if user specifies
Entry format in daily note
## Work Log
| Time | Type | Entry |
|------|------|-------|
| 14:30 | accomplishment | Shipped evlog structured logging across codebase |
| 11:15 | problem-solved | Fixed React Compiler + RHF incompatibility |
| 09:00 | learning | Discovered cmux workspace-per-agent pattern |
After logging
Confirm what was logged: type, description, and timestamp. Do not open the note unless user asks.
Mode 2: Obsidian CLI reference
When user asks about Obsidian CLI commands (not logging), read references/obsidian-cli.md and answer their question.
Notes
- Obsidian must be running for CLI to work
- If CLI fails, suggest: "Is Obsidian running?" and check
obsidian ping or obsidian version
- The CLI binary is at
/Applications/Obsidian.app/Contents/MacOS/obsidian (macOS)
- Suppress stderr noise:
2>&1 | grep -v "Loading\|installer"
