Use this skill when you need to record:
- A measurement (quantitative data)
- A state observation (system/process state)
- An event (something that occurred)
How to Log an Observation
Execute the following bash command:
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/dialogue-log-observation/scripts/log-observation.sh <type> <observer> <subject> <value> [context] [tags]
Required Parameters
| Parameter | Values | Description |
|---|---|---|

Category of observation |
observer |
ai:claude or human:<id> |
Who made the observation |

value |
text | The observed data, state, or event details |
Optional Parameters
| Parameter | Description |

Comma-separated categorisation tags |
Observation Types
| Type | Use For | Example |
|---|---|---|
MEASUREMENT |
Quantitative data | "3 tests failed, 47 passed" |
STATE |
System/process state | "Build pipeline is broken" |
EVENT |
Occurrences | "User requested code review" |
Examples
Measurement Observation
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/dialogue-log-observation/scripts/log-observation.sh MEASUREMENT "ai:claude" "Test results" "3 failed, 47 passed" "After applying fix to auth module" "testing,ci"
State Observation
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/dialogue-log-observation/scripts/log-observation.sh STATE "ai:claude" "Build status" "Pipeline failing on lint stage" "Since commit abc123" "ci,blocking"
Event Observation
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/dialogue-log-observation/scripts/log-observation.sh EVENT "ai:claude" "User action" "Requested implementation of feature X" "During planning session" "requirements"
Output
The script returns the generated observation ID (e.g., OBS-20260113-143000).
Sharing
Always commit and push immediately after logging an observation. This ensures team visibility and supports transactive memory—others need to see observations promptly to maintain shared situational awareness.
git add .dialogue/logs/observations/ && git commit -m "OBS-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS: <subject>" && git push
