Task Journal

Overview

This skill is a convention reference, not a tool. It defines how every task in this repository records its life as an append-only journal of plain markdown. There is no slash command, no CLI, and no central writer process — every skill that touches a task appends entries directly to the same journal.md file.

The job of this skill is to give other skills (and humans reading the file) a stable contract about:

• where task records live,
• what an entry looks like,
• which keys are reserved,
• what the linter enforces,
• what completion means,
• and what signals justify upgrading away from this design.

Truth lives in the file system + git + memory. The convention exists to keep that truth readable.
