The Difference From the PreCompact Hook
Claude Code has a built-in PreCompact hook that fires when context is about to be compacted. The hook also logs session activity. The log-to-daily skill is different: it’s manual, on-demand, and runs mid-session or at the end of work. You control when it fires. The hook fires when Claude decides to.
For sessions where you want to capture context before closing — especially sessions where you made important decisions — the manual skill is more reliable.
