journal-memory

journal-memory is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from n1nja88888/deardiary. It costs 70 tokens per session (644 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill that lets an agent use a connected deardiary journal to understand the user's personal background. The journal contains transcribed handwritten diaries and linked pages about people, themes, and dated entries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for personal decisions, relationship questions, feelings, past events, or questions about people and experiences recorded in the journal.
Why use it?
It avoids making the user repeat personal history when advice depends on earlier events or relationships. It also directs the agent to follow links to source entries instead of guessing.

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-memory 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 51 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Journal Memory

The user has connected deardiary: their handwritten diaries (possibly spanning decades), transcribed and distilled, served over MCP. You can know who they are without making them repeat their life story. Use it with care.

When to reach for it

  • The conversation turns personal: life decisions, careers, relationships, feelings, plans, regrets.
  • The user references their own past ("当年", "我以前", "my ex-boss", a name you don't know).
  • The user asks you for advice that depends on who they are.
  • The user explicitly asks: "look it up in my journal", "你知道我的".

How to use it well

  1. Start with get_profile — one cheap call that answers most background questions (who they are, life chapters, key people, how they changed). Do this before asking the user background questions they've already lived.
  2. Follow the links. The distilled layer is a linked wiki: [[YYYY-MM-DD]] cites the diary entry a claim came from (fetch with read_entry), and [[Name]] points at another wiki page (fetch with get_page). Follow links to sources instead of re-searching or guessing.
  3. Names, places, themes you don't recognizeget_page(name) — person pages unify nicknames across the years; place and theme pages trace one thread of life. get_index maps every page that exists.
  4. "When did I ..." / vague memoriessearch_journal(query), then read_entry(date) on promising hits for the full faithful text.
  5. Understanding an era ("my Beijing years") → browse_entries(year=...) or get_timeline for the arc, then drill into entries.
  6. Transcriptions are faithful: ▢ marks illegible characters, [?] marks uncertain readings. Don't treat uncertain readings as established fact.

Care, always

  • This is the most intimate data a person owns. Quote it only when relevant; never volunteer sensitive details the user didn't bring up; never use it to judge, diagnose, or psychoanalyze uninvited.
  • The diaries record what the user felt at the time, not eternal truth. People change — the profile's "转变/Changes" section tracks this. Prefer "in 2013 you wrote..." over "you are...".
  • If the user seems uncomfortable with a recall, drop it immediately.
  • Everything is read-only. You cannot write to the journal — by design. Humans write; agents read.

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.
