pm-journal

pm-journal is a skill for Claude Code from wei63w/pm-manager. It costs 24 tokens per session (533 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A session journal for software projects that records what you intended to do, what changed, and what to improve next. It stores these notes in a project’s .pm folder.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to log a coding, fixing, refactoring, documentation, or consultation session, refresh the project timeline, and review optimization suggestions.
Why use it?
It prevents development decisions and progress from being lost between sessions. It also reduces the risk of recording secrets or claiming that files changed when they did not.

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

pm-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 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.

Outline

/pm-journal 只管开发记录与意图。用户以中文交互时用中文回复。不监听后台对话;按需落盘。未确认不改业务代码。

  1. Require .pm/。缺则建议 /pm-init。
  2. 先读 .pm/state/session.json、timeline.md、suggestions.md、dialogue.md 与 map.json。禁止为找记录做无过滤全库递归。
  3. 若用户描述了本轮在做什么、贴了对话、或点名了文件:运行
    pm log --kind … --intent "…" --file <用户点名的路径> "脱敏摘录"
    不可判断就让 CLI 标 unresolved,禁止编造文件列表。
  4. 运行 pm journal,刷新并打开:
    • .pm/state/dialogue.md 对话落盘
    • .pm/state/session.json 本轮意图
    • .pm/state/changes.md 变更点
    • .pm/state/timeline.md 迭代时间线
    • .pm/state/suggestions.md 优化建议
  5. 中文汇报:场景(咨询/代码/修复/重构/文档)、目标、变更文件、P0/P1 建议、时间线最近几条。建议只提示,不自动建待办、不改业务树。
  6. Closing:_closing.md 轻量档。指向已存在的 timeline / suggestions / dialogue。

Done When

  • 对话已脱敏落盘(或明确无需新笔记)
  • 时间线与建议已刷新
  • 未编造文件;无秘密原文

Shared Workflow

On-demand only. Map-first. Redact before write. Confirm-before-write for app code. Design baseline: docs/prd.md + 宪章。

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.
