Claude-memory-kit close-day

End-of-day synthesis — scan all documentation changes made today, extract key learnings, decisions, and patterns, produce a daily article in daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md. Use when user says '/close-day', 'close the day', 'end of day', 'wrap up', 'daily summary', or indicates they are done working for the day.

/close-day — End-of-Day Synthesis

Synthesize all documentation changes from today into a single daily article. This replaces auto-flush background processing with a deliberate, high-quality, in-context synthesis.

When to Use

User says
```
/close-day
```
or "close the day" or "wrap up"
User indicates they're done working for the day
Last session of the day, user wants to capture everything

Flow

Step 1: Discover today's changes

# Files modified today
find .claude/memory projects/ context/ knowledge/ -name "*.md" -mtime 0 2>/dev/null

# Uncommitted changes
git diff --name-only

# Today's commits
git log --since="today 00:00" --name-only --format=""

Step 2: Extract changes from each file

File type	How to extract today's changes
`MEMORY.md`	Grep for today's date tag `[YYYY-MM-DD]`
`knowledge/concepts/*.md`	Check `updated:` frontmatter — if today, read for new content
`context/next-session-prompt.md`	Read session summaries with today's date
`projects/*/BACKLOG.md`	Check git diff for task status changes
`.claude/rules/*.md`	Read full file if modified (rules change rarely)

Step 3: Synthesize daily article

Create

daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md

# Daily: YYYY-MM-DD

## Projects Worked On
- **[project]** — [1-2 sentence summary]

## Key Decisions
- [Decision with rationale]

## Patterns Learned
- [New patterns added to MEMORY.md or knowledge/]

## Files Modified
- [Key files changed, grouped by project]

## Tomorrow
- [Pending work, blockers, first action]

Step 4: Report

Show user a 3-5 line summary
Report file path and size
Flag any MEMORY.md entries without today's date tag

Rules

Synthesis, not extraction. You have full context — write quality summaries.
One article per day. If file exists, APPEND new section with timestamp.
Don't duplicate. Daily = index + narrative. Details stay in source files.
Date tags are the contract. Every MEMORY.md entry must have
```
[YYYY-MM-DD]
```
.
Skip if nothing happened. Don't create empty articles.
