log-question
Tiny skill. Every time Claude can’t answer from vault content, the gap gets logged. Weekly reconcile reads this and proposes research topics.
When to use
- You just answered a user question using outside knowledge, because the vault doesn’t have the content.
- You searched the vault (grep / wikilink traversal) and came up empty.
- The user asks something and you realize there’s a page that should exist but doesn’t.
Do not use when:
- The answer exists in the vault and you found it (no gap).
- The question is conversational (“how are you”, “thanks”) — not knowledge-seeking.
- The question is about Claude/tooling itself, not about the user’s domain.
Workflow
Append one line to questions:
- YYYY-MM-DD — <question, one sentence> — <context: referring page, topic area, or "conversation">
Keep it terse. The weekly reconcile reads the tail of this file.
Examples
Good:
- 2026-04-17 — What's the SRS decay curve for the Furigana plugin exceptions? — 2_Areas/Japanese, came up while reviewing [[Particles ga vs wa]]
- 2026-04-17 — When did I first start using YNAB? — 2_Areas/Finance, no history page exists
- 2026-04-17 — What's my current stance on screen time tools? — conversation, several voice memos but no synthesized page
Bad:
- 2026-04-17 — User asked about particles ← no question, no context
- 2026-04-17 — I don't know ← tells reconcile nothing
Rules
- One line per question. No multi-paragraph entries.
- ISO date (
YYYY-MM-DD). - Include context — the referring page or the topic area. Without this, reconcile can’t propose research.
- Append only. Never rewrite or reorder existing entries. Git history is the audit trail.
- No deduplication here. If the same question comes up twice, log it twice — frequency is a signal for reconcile.
