Deckle — Journal

Intent

A diary: the small findings worth keeping, often surfaced while researching. The chronicle of what matters.

How

Record only what was found or decided. State it plainly — "found X", "chose Y because Z" — and stop. No inference, no deduction, no extrapolation beyond the bare fact: anything more misleads the next agent that reads it.

What does not go here

JOURNAL.md holds durable module findings — a measured API fact, a frozen decision, a trap worth the next agent's time. It is NOT the session work-log. The why of each action you took this session, and the handoff state, go to an Anytype rapport (session_start then log, anchored to the module's task), never here. If you are narrating what you did rather than recording a lasting fact, it belongs in the rapport.
