Log-to-Post

Log what you built (text, images, commits, branches); get LinkedIn, X, Reddit, and standup copy in one go.

A Cursor skill that keeps a structured daily log and turns it into platform-ready drafts so you can build in public without rewriting the same thing four times.

What it does

• Log — One file per day (logs/YYYY-MM-DD.md) with typed entries: what you started, shipped, discovered, what blocked you, what you’re learning.
• Post — From that log, generate drafts for LinkedIn, X (Twitter), Reddit, and a standup summary. Output goes to posts/YYYY-MM-DD.md (or separate files per platform if you prefer).

One source of truth; multiple formats.

Quick start

1. Install the skill in Cursor (or use this repo as your base path).
2. Choose a base path for logs and posts when prompted (e.g. this repo, or ~/dev-log). The skill creates logs/ and posts/ there and remembers the path via .log-to-post.
3. Log by saying things like:
   • "Log: Shipped the auth refactor and merged to main."
   • "Log my day" and paste or describe what you did.
   • Or ask to log from git commits, images, or chat.
4. Generate posts by asking:
   • "Turn my log into posts"
   • "Post ideas from my logs"
   • "Standup from my logs"

You can scope by date (e.g. today + last 2 days) or by entry type (e.g. only shipped + discovered).

Folder structure

<base-path>/
  .log-to-post          # Marks base path (optional)
  logs/
    YYYY-MM-DD.md       # One log file per day
  posts/
    YYYY-MM-DD.md       # Generated drafts (all formats in one file by default)
  references/
    log-format.md       # Log entry format and types
    prompts-and-platforms.md  # Content style per platform

Log entry types

Type	Use for
started	Began something new
running	In progress
blocked	Stuck or waiting
discovered	Learned or found something
shipped	Delivered or merged
learning	Studying or practicing

Entry format (frontmatter + content) and optional fields (project, branch, repo, links, tags) are described in references/log-format.md.

Generating drafts

• The skill reads your chosen log file(s), aggregates the content, and applies the style rules in references/prompts-and-platforms.md for each platform.
• Default: one file per day posts/YYYY-MM-DD.md with sections for X, LinkedIn, Reddit, Standup (and optionally Discord changelog).
• You can ask for separate files per platform: posts/YYYY-MM-DD-linkedin.md, posts/YYYY-MM-DD-twitter.md, etc.

Edit the generated drafts as needed before posting.

References

• references/log-format.md — Log entry structure, types, and optional metadata.
• references/prompts-and-platforms.md — Content philosophy and platform-specific rules for LinkedIn, X, Reddit, and Standup.
