Write and maintain an implementation diary: step-by-step narrative of what changed, why, what worked, what failed (with exact errors/commands), what was tricky, and how to review/validate. Use when a user asks to create/update a “Diary” doc, record work for a ticket, document debugging outcomes, or produce code review instructions and future follow-ups.

Diary
Overview
Produce concise, structured diary steps that capture the implementation journey (including failures) and make review and continuation straightforward.
Create and Maintain a Diary (docmgr)
Create the diary document
Relate files (always use absolute paths)
docmgr stores the path in anchored form (repo://..., abs://..., ...); keep passing absolute paths — they are anchored automatically. A --file-note without a : separator errors and exits 1.
Update changelog when a step completes
Recommended Working Loop (keeps code ↔ docs consistent)
Use this loop for any non-trivial change:
Diary Step Format (strict)
When asked to “write/update the diary”, output Markdown that follows this structure:
Writing Rules (strict)
- Start each step with 1–2 short prose paragraphs (required).
- Always include a
Prompt Contextsection for each step. User prompt (verbatim)must be the exact user text (no paraphrasing, no normalization) the first time that prompt appears in the diary.- If the same user prompt is reused for multiple steps, only include it verbatim once (the first time). In later steps, replace it with a short pointer like:
User prompt (verbatim): (see Step N)orUser prompt (verbatim): (same as Step N). Assistant interpretationis your concise paraphrase of the request.Inferred user intentcaptures the user’s underlying goal/outcome.- Record failures immediately; keep errors/versions/commands verbatim.
- For
What was tricky to build, explain the underlying cause, the symptoms you observed, and how you approached a solution. If you found a solution, state the exact steps you took. - Always include these sections for any code/behavior change:
What was tricky to build,What warrants a second pair of eyes,What should be done in the future. - Do not add backwards-compatibility shims unless the ticket/spec requires it; document behavior changes and update tests/docs instead.
- Relate any file you modified and any file that materially shaped decisions; always use absolute paths in
--file-note.
