journal

journal is a command for coding agents from DunCanYounG-1/auto-embedded. It costs 0 tokens per session (222 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that appends a short session summary to workspace/journal.md, a file used to keep notes between coding-agent sessions. New sessions can use recent entries to understand what happened previously.

In plain words
What is it for?
Recording what was completed, noting key technical decisions, and writing down the next step at the end of a session or after an important change.
Why use it?
It prevents important decisions and unfinished work from being forgotten when a session ends. This gives the next session a small amount of context instead of starting from zero.

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 6d 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

{{CMD_REF:journal}} —— 写一条跨会话记忆

把"本次会话做了什么 / 关键决策 / 下一步"追加到 workspace/journal.md。 下次开会话时 SessionStart 会注入最近 3 条,让新会话带着"故事"启动,而非从零。

{{PYTHON_CMD}} .auto-embedded/scripts/task.py journal "<本次会话摘要>"

何时写:会话收尾、做了重要决策、或 {{CMD_REF:finish-work}} 时。一句话即可,例:

  • "确认 USART1 用 DMA 收发;下一步写 drv_uart 的空闲中断"
  • "放弃 SPI 软件模拟方案(时序不稳),改用硬件 SPI2"

journal 记"过程叙事"(跨会话续上下文);可复用的约定/坑请用 {{CMD_REF:finish-work}} 的 promote 进 spec。两者分工见 spec/governance。

Changes

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 a command published in the GitHub repository DunCanYounG-1/auto-embedded (222 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 222 tokens. 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.
