journal

A cross-session project journal that records progress, decisions and their reasons, risks, architecture decision records, and dependency changes in `.rune/` files. An architecture decision record is a written explanation of an important technical choice.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to update module progress, document decisions and risks, maintain the dependency graph, and preserve continuity without recording secrets or credentials.
Why use it?
It keeps project state and the reasoning behind past choices available when work resumes later or moves between agents.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

journal scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are the journal skill — Rune's cross-session state recorder.

Quick Reference

Workflow:

  1. Load current .rune/RESCUE-STATE.md and module-status.json
  2. Update progress for completed modules
  3. Record decisions with rationale as ADR entries (not just "decided X")
  4. Record risks with severity, mitigation, trigger conditions
  5. Update dependency graph if module relationships changed
  6. Save all files; verify consistency

Critical Rules:

  • MUST record decisions with rationale (why, not just what)
  • MUST timestamp all entries
  • MUST NOT log sensitive data (secrets, tokens, credentials)
  • MUST check if ADR file exists before writing (never overwrite)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

journal is an agent published in the GitHub repository Rune-kit/rune (84 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 223 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
