What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

A hands-off daily log of everything you build in Claude Code. Once a day it reads that day's sessions and the files that changed, and appends a short entry per real build (what it is, what shipped) to a local markdown file. No /wrap, no manual step. Perfect for standups, changelogs, or a running record of what you've made.

build-capture

The stuff you build in Claude Code never gets written down unless you stop and do it. You won't. This does it for you.

Once a day a cron reads that day's Claude Code sessions plus the files that changed in a folder you watch, figures out what you actually built or shipped, and appends a short entry for each to a markdown file. Hands-off. Routine chatter and pure Q&A are skipped.

What you get, per build

Name — short title of the thing you built
What it is — one plain sentence
Latest — what happened today (built, shipped, fixed, refactored)
Type (skill / script / app / fix) + date

Setup (2 minutes)

Requires the claude CLI on your PATH and Python 3.
Set WATCH_DIR to the folder you build in (default: the current repo / ~/.claude/skills), and LOG_FILE for the log (default ~/build-log.md).

Install the daily cron:

cp com.example.build-capture-daily.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
# edit the path inside to point at this folder, then:
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.example.build-capture-daily.plist

(On Linux, use the crontab line in daily-sweep.sh's header.)

Run it by hand

./daily-sweep.sh          # log today's builds now
./daily-sweep.sh dry      # print what it would log, write nothing

How it works

build_digest.py (pure local, no LLM) collects the last day's session text, the files that changed under WATCH_DIR, and recent git commits, into one digest. A headless claude pass reads it per SWEEP_PROMPT.md and appends the builds to your log, deduping by name so re-runs don't pile up. Additive only, it never edits past entries.
