SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Record a meta change-log entry whenever Claude internal assets in this repo are added, modified, or removed. Triggers on edits to: .claude/skills/, .claude/agents/, .claude/commands/**, .claude/settings.json, .claude/settings.local.json, .mcp.json, CLAUDE.md (root or nested), or auto-memory files. Also triggers on direct user requests like "log this meta change", "add a meta entry", or "/meta-log". Writes one entry per logical change to meta/<YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM-slug>.md using templates/meta-entry.md, and updates meta/README.md so the new entry appears in the index.
