Turn recent engineering work into build-in-public devlogs for X/Twitter. Use when the user asks to draft or write a devlog/post, create a vault post and cover, start today's dev log on x.com, publish a ship/debug/lesson thread, or turn recent commits into a public update.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Devlog

Write and optionally publish build-in-public updates from fresh engineering
context. The skill name should stay `devlog`: short enough to become a habit,
but broad enough to cover capture, draft, polish, and publish.

## What this skill is

| Skill | Question it answers | Output |
|---|---|---|
| `vd:journal` | "What should future-me remember?" | Private markdown journal |
| `vd:twitter` | "How do I read/post on X?" | Tweet/thread/reply via CLI |
| **`vd:devlog`** | **"How do I turn today's work into a public update?"** | **Draft or published X post** |

Devlog is a public writing layer. It gathers facts, shapes the story, applies
voice/taste, and delegates posting to `vd:twitter` only when the user explicitly
asks to post/publish.

## Argument model

Parse free-form args additively. If args conflict, later/more specific args win.

| Arg | Meaning | Default |
|---|---|---|
| `today` | Use current repo/session work from today | yes |
| `ship` | Successful shipped work: what landed, why, next | no |
| `fix` / `debug` | Bug hunt or incident: symptom, root cause, lesson | no |
| `lesson` | Extract a reusable principle from recent work | no |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vanducng/skills/devlog@sha256:b2881cafc98ab9ec

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
