Should I use this for task-specific progress tracking?

No, task-specific notes are better suited for your issue tracker. The journal is designed for cross-cutting insights, architectural discoveries, and persistent lessons learned.

How does the journal distinguish between human and AI entries?

The skill uses an immutable filename suffix (.ai. or .hu.) to identify the original author, allowing users to verify the source of any observation at a glance.

Can I search my journal entries later?

Yes, you can search entries using simple glob patterns for filenames or standard grep commands to find specific keywords across all journal contents.

Where are the journal entries stored?

All entries are stored as standard Markdown files within your project's notes/journal/ directory for easy version control and portability.

What is the 'promotion' process for journal entries?

Raw entries gain authority through promotion, which involves linking them from hub files like notes/INDEX.md or moving them into the primary documentation folder.

生产力与工作流

Captures and preserves development insights, architectural observations, and lessons learned in a timestamped, searchable log.

The Knowledge Journal skill enables Claude to maintain a structured development log within your repository, capturing ephemeral knowledge that often disappears between sessions. By automating the creation of timestamped markdown files with clear authorship markers, it helps teams track non-obvious code behaviors, design insights, and workarounds. The system includes built-in logic for categorizing notes by trust level and provides a streamlined workflow for promoting raw observations into durable, long-term project documentation.
