Log Progression

Analyse a session log and update each player character's progression file with narratively significant events.

Step 1: Discover the Campaign

Follow the campaign discovery convention from the omen domain CLAUDE.md.

Step 2: Identify the Session Log

$ARGUMENTS may contain:

• A path or wikilink to a session log file
• A session number -- find the matching file in logs/
• Nothing -- list recent sessions and ask which one to process

Read the session log file in full.

Step 3: Read the Player Index and Character Files

Read lore/_players.md to get the roster -- names, players, motives.

Read each character's individual file in characters/. If a character file doesn't exist yet, note it for creation.

Step 4: Analyse the Session per Character

For each player character, extract moments that carry narrative weight for that specific character. Not every event matters to every character.

Signals of progression:

• Relationship changes -- new ally, new enemy, trust gained or lost, bonding moments
• Decisions with consequences -- choices that shape who the character is becoming
• Goal progress -- steps toward or away from their stated motive
• Reveals -- learning something that changes the character's understanding
• Trauma or growth -- moments that challenge or reinforce the character's identity
• Off-screen significance -- events the character doesn't know about but that affect them (mark these clearly, e.g. "Unknown to {character}:")

Keep entries terse. One line per moment, factual, with wikilinks.

Step 5: Present for Review

Progression from {session}:

{Character 1} ({Player}):

• moment 1
• moment 2

{Character 2} ({Player}):

• moment 1

Add all, edit, or drop any?

Step 6: Update Character Files

Existing character files

Append a new section under a session heading:

### {Session Reference} -- {Date}
- moment 1
- moment 2

Append after the last existing session block.

New character files

If a character file doesn't exist in characters/, create it:

---
tags:
  - omen/<campaign>/pc
campaign: <campaign>
group: <Group>
type: pc
up: "[[_players]]"
---

# {Character Name}

**Player:** {player name}
**Motive:** {main motive from _players.md}

## Progression

### {Session Reference} -- {Date}
- moment 1
- moment 2

Step 7: Confirm

Progression updated. {N} characters updated from {session}.
