Dev Diary

SkillDocs & knowledge

Read, inspect, and add local dev diary entries after diary setup. Use when the user asks to view today's diary, edit diary notes, add work to the diary, or check what has been logged.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the Dev Diary skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by tetherto/qvac in .agents/skills/qv-dev-diary/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
