work-recording

work-recording is a skill for Claude Code from mnzralee/claude-multi-agent-architecture. It costs 57 tokens per session (4,278 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A development journal system that turns coding sessions into first-person engineering stories, recording the context, decisions, problems, and lessons learned.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps developers keep dated, append-only work records, document planning and debugging sessions, and summarize the day’s work.
Why use it?
It preserves why work happened and what was learned, which ordinary task logs often leave out.

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

work-recording 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 10d 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.

Work Recording Skill

Transform development sessions into compelling engineering stories that capture not just what happened, but why it mattered and what was learned.


Location: write to YOUR OWN journal

Each developer has their own append-only journal directory. Write to the authoring developer's namespace, never to another developer's.

you write to: docs/workrecords/work-record-YYYY-MM-DD.md

[CUSTOMIZE: adjust the path to match your project's docs layout. A common convention is docs/<your-name>/workrecords/work-record-YYYY-MM-DD.md for multi-developer projects.]

The path is determined by WHO is writing, not by which feature, service, or repo the work touched. The storytelling voice below requires first-person "I"; two developers cannot share an "I", so they cannot share a journal file. Cross-developer coordination lives at the spec, roadmap, and ADR layer, not by mingling daily journals.

See .claude/rules/work-records.md for the full per-developer-path rule, if your project uses one.


Philosophy: The Engineering Story

Work records are not logs. They are stories.

Every session is a journey with:

  • A beginning (context, challenge)
  • A middle (investigation, discovery, implementation)
  • An end (resolution, lessons learned)

The best work records read like a senior engineer explaining their day to a colleague over coffee: technical, insightful, and memorable.


The Journal Principle: Write It Like Lecture Notes

Work records serve a dual purpose: they are both a professional engineering journal and lecture notes for the developer's future self. When writing, imagine revisiting this record months later to understand what happened, why, and what was learned.

What to Capture

Brainstorming and critical-thinking moments. When multiple approaches are considered, document the reasoning chain: what options surfaced, what tradeoffs were weighed, and why one path was chosen over others. The rejected alternatives matter as much as the chosen one because they encode the constraints that shaped the decision.

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.

work-recording is a skill published in the GitHub repository mnzralee/claude-multi-agent-architecture (6 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 4,278 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
