How do I interact with Claude inside the log file?

Users provide instructions or feedback using the > JL: prefix. Claude is then required to execute the change and respond with a >> CC: marker to confirm the outcome.

Can I use this skill for multi-day refactoring projects?

Yes. The skill supports multiple sessions within the same document or across multiple files using a specific date and hour naming convention, ideal for long-term tracking.

What is the di_ prefix used for in this skill?

The di_ prefix stands for 'discussion log' and is used to uniquely identify these session-based review files, making them easy to filter and search within your repository.

How does this differ from a standard Claude Code session export?

While exports (cc_) are transcripts of what happened, discussion logs (di_) are curated, structured documents focusing on specific issues, severities, and actionable decisions.

コラボレーションツール

Facilitates structured, session-based code reviews and refactoring by maintaining a persistent decision log between human and AI.

Coding by Logging provides a rigorous framework for iterative code improvement, moving beyond fleeting chat interactions to a documented log of findings and decisions. It enables Claude to record specific issues with severity levels, allows users to provide direct instructions via standardized comments, and ensures every decision is tracked and acknowledged. This skill is ideal for complex refactoring, multi-step bug fixes, and architectural reviews where maintaining a 'living document' of code evolution is critical for quality and future reference.
