Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00072 | $0.00575 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00029 | $0.00230 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00115 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00057 |
Grade A, and why
capture 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 1mo 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 — 48 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
ai-journal-mcp — Capture
Turn something worth keeping — a debugging pattern, a process lesson, a decision, a "this could be a post" idea — into a canonical journal entry. Capture must be cheaper than not capturing: draft the entry for the user from the conversation; never make them format it.
When to use
- The user says "journal this," "log it," "add an entry," or similar.
- A session ends with a lesson, pattern, or insight worth recalling later.
- Something surfaces that's blog or talk material.
How to capture
- Pick the journal. Only
managedjournals accept entries. If exactly one is configured, use it. If several (e.g. a journal per project), ask which.list_themesshows the configured journals and their themes. - Draft the entry from the conversation:
title— concise and specific (a future search matches on it).body— freeform: a whole-session dump, a single lesson, or a tidied-up list are all valid. This is the substance.themes— the topic(s) it belongs to. If the user named none, callsuggest_themes(title + body)and propose what it returns (existing themes ranked by similarity); confirm, then use those. Reuse existing themes so pattern-finding stays coherent; add a new one only when nothing fits. Multi-valued.tags— optional finer labels.blog_angles— when the insight is post-worthy, propose one or more angles (working titles). This is the raw material for later writing; don't let it evaporate.entry_date— defaults to today; set only when backdating.
- Write it with
add_entry(journal, title, body, themes?, tags?, blog_angles?, entry_date?). One call writes the entry, regenerates the views, and rebuilds the index. - Confirm the returned path and the themes used.
Principles
- Capture freely; structure (path, frontmatter, views) is the tool's job.
- Reuse existing themes over inventing near-duplicates.
- Flag post-worthy insights through
blog_angles, not prose.
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.

capture is a skill published in the GitHub repository solentlabs/ai-journal-mcp (1 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 72 tokens to every session and 575 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
