build-capture

build-capture is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nataliacorrea03/claude-code-skills. It costs 80 tokens per session (525 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An automatic daily record of real projects and changes made in Claude Code, the command-line coding assistant.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a local Markdown log for standups, changelogs, or a running project history. It watches a chosen folder and uses a daily scheduled task to update the file.
Why use it?
It keeps completed work from disappearing into chat history or requiring a separate manual log. It skips routine questions and records what was built, shipped, fixed, or refactored.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

build-capture scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (build_digest.py, daily-sweep.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

build-capture

The stuff you build in Claude Code never gets written down unless you stop and do it. You won't. This does it for you.

Once a day a cron reads that day's Claude Code sessions plus the files that changed in a folder you watch, figures out what you actually built or shipped, and appends a short entry for each to a markdown file. Hands-off. Routine chatter and pure Q&A are skipped.

What you get, per build

  • Name — short title of the thing you built
  • What it is — one plain sentence
  • Latest — what happened today (built, shipped, fixed, refactored)
  • Type (skill / script / app / fix) + date

Setup (2 minutes)

  1. Requires the claude CLI on your PATH and Python 3.
  2. Set WATCH_DIR to the folder you build in (default: the current repo / ~/.claude/skills), and LOG_FILE for the log (default ~/build-log.md).
  3. Install the daily cron:
    cp com.example.build-capture-daily.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
    # edit the path inside to point at this folder, then:
    launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.example.build-capture-daily.plist
    
    (On Linux, use the crontab line in daily-sweep.sh's header.)

Run it by hand

./daily-sweep.sh          # log today's builds now
./daily-sweep.sh dry      # print what it would log, write nothing

How it works

build_digest.py (pure local, no LLM) collects the last day's session text, the files that changed under WATCH_DIR, and recent git commits, into one digest. A headless claude pass reads it per SWEEP_PROMPT.md and appends the builds to your log, deduping by name so re-runs don't pile up. Additive only, it never edits past entries.

Files

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
