Does the Journal skill invent project details if they are missing?

No. The skill follows a strict policy to document only what provably exists in the code. Any uncertain sections are marked as 'TODO: describe' to ensure accuracy.

Can I choose where the JOURNAL.md file is saved?

Yes. While the output defaults to the project root, you can provide a custom output path as an argument when invoking the skill.

Which frameworks are compatible with this skill?

While optimized for the Nuxt 4 stack, it detects various project types including Next.js and Claude plugins by analyzing configuration files like nuxt.config.ts or next.config.js.

How does it handle large dependency folders?

The skill automatically excludes node_modules, .git, and .nuxt directories to ensure the generated documentation focuses on your source code and architecture.

Learning & Documentation

Generates a comprehensive JOURNAL.md file that documents project architecture, structure, and tech stack based on existing code artifacts.

The Journal skill is a specialized DocOps tool designed to automate the creation of high-fidelity onboarding documentation. By analyzing a project's configuration files, directory structure, and existing metadata, it produces a single-file 'source of truth' that describes the codebase exactly as it exists. It specifically targets Nuxt and Next.js environments but remains universal, extracting data from package.json and project-conveyor.md to map out dependencies, scripts, and key components. This skill is ideal for keeping technical documentation in sync with development without the risk of AI hallucination, as it is strictly forbidden from guessing project details.
