**Read existing context:**
- `.research/logs/activity.md` - Check for any `/note` entries from today
- `tasks.md` - Check for completed tasks today
- Recent file modifications in key directories (`scripts/`, `manuscript/`, `data/`)

### 2. Check for Today's Notes

Look for entries in `activity.md` that match today's date pattern `## [YYYY-MM-DD]`.

If notes exist:
- Extract them to integrate into the full summary
- These become the seed for the "Notes" section

### 3. Draft Activity Entry

Generate a draft using the Quick Session Entry template:

```markdown
## [YYYY-MM-DD]

**Session focus**: [Inferred from git commits and file changes]

**Accomplished**:
- [Generated from git commits]
- [Generated from file changes]
- [Any completed tasks from tasks.md]

**Decisions made**:
- [Ask user if not apparent]

**Next steps**:
- [Suggest based on context]

**Notes**:
- [Integrate any /note entries from today]
- [Any observations from the work]

4. Present Draft to User

Show the draft and ask:

Here's a summary of today's work:

[DRAFT ENTRY]

---

**Anything to add or change?**
- Decisions you made?
- Challenges you hit?
- Thoughts for tomorrow?

(Or say "looks good" to save as-is)

5. Integrate User Feedback

If user provides additional input:

Incorporate their comments into appropriate sections
Add any mentioned decisions to "Decisions made"
Add any mentioned challenges to "Notes"
Update "Next steps" if they specify priorities

6. Save Entry

Prepend the final entry to .research/logs/activity.md:

Add after the templates section (after the --- separator following "Digital Documentation Standards")
Ensure proper formatting with blank lines

7. Offer Follow-up Actions

Entry saved! Before you go:

A) Commit your changes? [if uncommitted work exists]
B) Update tasks.md? [if accomplishments suggest completed tasks]
C) All set - see you next time!

Example Output

📝 Wrapping up your day...

Based on your git activity and file changes, here's today's summary:

---

## 2024-12-02

**Session focus**: Pipeline development - preprocessing stage

**Accomplished**:
- Added data validation script (`scripts/validate_input.py`)
- Fixed edge case in preprocessing (commit: "handle empty rows")
- Updated params.yaml with new threshold values

**Decisions made**:
- [None detected - any decisions to note?]

**Next steps**:
- Run full pipeline with new validation
- Review output quality metrics

**Notes**:
- From earlier: "Realized the preprocessing step might be dropping too many samples"

Edge Cases

No git activity today

I don't see any git commits or file changes today. 

Did you work on something outside this project, or would you like to 
log some notes about planning/thinking work?

User says "nothing to add"

Save the draft as-is with a confirmation:

Saved! Your next session will pick up right where you left off.

Very short session

If minimal activity, offer a simpler format:

Looks like a lighter session. Quick note instead of full entry?

> [User provides brief note]

Got it, added to today's log.
