How to use elisp code to generate an org-agenda view for clocked tasks and
logs etc which are sorted by timestamps? I want to view my daily done tasks
and attach them as part of diary (maybe use org source block elisp code to
generate output?)

So how to setup `org-agenda-custom-commands` to archive this purpose?

Thanks for your help in advance. Regards.

I routinely export my agenda to HTML with logbook mode enabled and
inactive timestamps. This shows a complete timeline of my actions.  I
save timestamps on changing TODO to DONE, use active timestamps for
appointments, and I constantly add inactive timestamps while taking
notes. I use this to justify billing to clients.

I open the agenda, v m to make a monthly view, L for logbook, ] to
enable inactive timestamps, and then C-x C-w to save. You may be able
to just use elisp to trigger these actions.

I don't do it often enough to automate it. I love being able to
flatten my tree of notes into a timeline this way.

Russell, Thanks for your hint.

I have a prototype code now, but still have problem.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(add-to-list
 'org-agenda-custom-commands
 '("c" "Tody [c]locked tasks."
   ((agenda ""
            ((org-agenda-ndays 1)
             (org-agenda-span-1)
             (org-agenda-use-time-grid t)
             (org-agenda-include-diary nil)
             (org-agenda-show-log (quote clockcheck))
             (org-agenda-clockreport t))))))
#+end_src

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(let* ((org-agenda-sticky t)
       ;; FIXME how to run it in background instead of switch to agenda buffer.
       (_ (org-agenda nil "c"))
       (origin-buffer (current-buffer))
       (origin-buffer-point (point))
       (agenda-buffer (with-current-buffer "*Org Agenda(c)*"
                        (buffer-substring (point-min) (point-max)))))
  (switch-to-buffer origin-buffer)
  (with-current-buffer origin-buffer
    (goto-char origin-buffer-point)
    (insert agenda-buffer)))
#+end_src

In the source code comment "FIXME" org-agenda always in frontend and popup buffer. I can't generate
org-agenda in background then get the buffer content.

Does anybody knows some tricky method for my code?

Maybe wrap agenda call into save-window-excursion?

Thanks for your helpful hint. I finally got a solution:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(add-to-list
 'org-agenda-custom-commands
 '("c" "Tody [c]locked tasks."
   ((agenda ""
            ((org-agenda-ndays 1)
             (org-agenda-span-1)
             (org-agenda-use-time-grid t)
             (org-agenda-include-diary nil)
             (org-agenda-show-log (quote clockcheck))
             (org-agenda-clockreport t))))))

(let* ((org-agenda-sticky t)
       ;; Run it in background instead of switch to agenda buffer with `save-window-excursion'.
       (_ (save-window-excursion (org-agenda nil "c")))
       (origin-buffer (current-buffer))
       (origin-buffer-point (point))
       (agenda-buffer (with-current-buffer "*Org Agenda(c)*"
                        (buffer-substring (point-min) (point-max)))))
  (print agenda-buffer))

So that I can record those into into Diary.
