critical-journey-document

critical-journey-document is a skill for Claude Code from yarlson/yarstack. It costs 46 tokens per session (340 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured record of one important user or system journey toward a specific goal, backed by links to requirements, code, tests, or telemetry. Telemetry means the events and measurements collected about system use.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document the steps, decisions, state changes, failures, recovery, owners, and evidence for a critical journey.
Why use it?
It keeps product behavior, ownership, acceptance conditions, and evidence in one traceable document instead of scattered notes.

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

critical-journey-document 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 5d 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

Critical Journey Documentation

Create one canonical journey record in the repository's established product-documentation location.

Workflow

  1. Confirm what makes the journey critical, its actor, goal, trigger, scope, owner, risk, and canonical document location.
  2. Inspect existing requirements, code, contracts, tests, telemetry, and documentation; reuse repository identifiers and terminology.
  3. Split multiple actors or goals into separate records only when independently useful.
  4. Document the ordered journey, decisions, state changes, success, meaningful failures, recovery, ownership, and evidence links.
  5. Add acceptance, telemetry, blueprint, portfolio, coverage, or story-map sections only when a named consumer or delivery gate requires them.
  6. Record unresolved facts only when the task permits them and names the decision owner and resolution condition.
  7. Use text-improve on the completed record without changing agreed contracts, identifiers, or domain terms.

Acceptance sections describe product acceptance; test-design owns executable tests. Telemetry sections record agreed contracts rather than inventing events. repo-context-document owns implemented-system flows under docs/context/; rollout-readiness-review owns deployment readiness; spec-update owns semantic decisions.

Do not create a parallel canonical document, mandatory identifier system, speculative telemetry, or an artifact suite by default.

Finish when the record has evidence links, named ownership, explicit unknowns, and only sections with current consumers.

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.
