Initial Findings

This file was created WITHOUT frontmatter to test the ensure-frontmatter CLI command.

Research Questions

  1. Does the CLI properly add frontmatter to files without it?
  2. Does the git hook update dates correctly on commit?
  3. Is the complete workflow intuitive for users?

Observations

  • Testing automation tools
  • Validating workflow integration
  • Documenting pain points

Additional Research Findings

Finding 1: The ensure-frontmatter CLI successfully adds frontmatter to files without it.

Finding 2: The frontmatter format matches the expected schema:

  • created: YYYY-MM-DD
  • updated: YYYY-MM-DD
  • status: ongoing
  • tags: []

Finding 3: This content update should trigger the git hook to update the updated date field.

Next Steps

  1. Stage these files with git ✓
  2. Commit with a descriptive message ✓
  3. Verify the pre-commit hook executes ✓
  4. Confirm dates are updated automatically ✓

Update Test

This is a second commit to test if the hook updates the updated date field when content changes.

Test scenario: Modify existing file and commit again.

Expected result: The updated field should be updated to the current date (still 2025-11-24 for today).

Actual result: Testing now…

Date Update Test

Changed the updated field to 2025-11-20 to test if the hook updates it to today’s date (2025-11-24).
