Domino ID Skill

Generate unique IDs for project domino tasks and manage project work logs.

Project Structure

projects/<project-name>/
├── index.md      # Project definition with YAML frontmatter
└── log.jsonl     # Work log

Commands

Generate a new domino ID

When user wants to create a new domino with an ID:

bin/domino-id generate --project projects/<project-name>/index.md --task "<task description>"

This outputs a unique ID like d-1w3.

List existing domino IDs

bin/domino-id list --project projects/<project-name>/index.md

Log work done

When user wants to log work, append a JSONL entry to projects/<project-name>/log.jsonl:

{"ts":"<ISO8601-UTC>","what":"<description>"}
{"ts":"<ISO8601-UTC>","what":"<description>","dominoes":["d-xxx"]}

Get timestamp with: date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ

Workflow

Adding a new domino to a project:

1. Generate ID: bin/domino-id generate -p projects/<name>/index.md -t "<task>"
2. Add to project frontmatter in projects/<name>/index.md:

``yaml dominoes: - id: d-xxx task: "<task description>" ``

Completing a domino:

1. Remove from project frontmatter (or mark done)
2. Log completion in projects/<name>/log.jsonl:

``jsonl {"ts":"2026-01-20T12:00:00Z","what":"Completed: <what you did>","dominoes":["d-xxx"]} ``

Logging work (no domino):

Append to projects/<name>/log.jsonl:

{"ts":"2026-01-20T12:00:00Z","what":"<what you did>"}

Project file format (index.md)

kind: project
created: YYYY-MM-DD
status: active
dominoes:
  - id: d-xxx
    task: "Task description"
  - "Simple task without ID"
---

Log file format (log.jsonl)

One JSON object per line:

• ts — ISO 8601 UTC timestamp (required)
• what — description of work done (required)
• dominoes — array of completed domino IDs (optional)
