SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Prepend and query a lab-notebook log (LABNOTEBOOK.md) of work done in the current project. Run before /clear to record what was done this session.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Maintain a LABNOTEBOOK.md in the current project directory: a chronological, searchable record of work sessions, decisions, and findings.
  • Run before /clear to capture the session and prepend entries, show recent logs, search across entries, or initialize the notebook.
  • Entries are prepended with newest first to keep the most relevant context at the top.

Quick Start

Run /bitacora log to draft and prepend a new entry to LABNOTEBOOK.md for the current session.

FAQPage Schema
How do I maintain a searchable lab notebook for project documentation?

A searchable lab notebook logs your session summaries, decisions, and touched files into a LABNOTEBOOK.md file. Entries are prepended newest first, keeping the most relevant project context at the top for quick retrieval.

What is the best way to log session work before clearing my project context?

Logging session work before clearing context involves running a log command to draft and prepend a new entry to LABNOTEBOOK.md. This captures your session activity, ensuring reproducible project documentation before the context is lost.

How does session tracking in a lab log improve research reproducibility?

Session tracking improves research reproducibility by recording chronological work sessions, findings, and touched files. Maintaining this lab log ensures past decisions and actions are searchable and verifiable across the entire project lifecycle.

Can I search across past entries in a markdown lab notebook?

Yes, you can search across past entries in a markdown lab notebook using the search command. This queries the prepended entries in LABNOTEBOOK.md to quickly retrieve past session summaries, decisions, and project documentation.

Do I need specific dependencies to start tracking project documentation?

No specific dependencies are required to start tracking project documentation. The lab notebook initializes directly in your current project directory, creating a LABNOTEBOOK.md file to capture session logs without external packages.

When should I initialize a lab notebook for my research project?

You should initialize a lab notebook at the start of a research project to establish a LABNOTEBOOK.md file. This sets up the chronological record for session tracking, ensuring all future work, decisions, and findings are documented.
