VGC Practice Journal

Convert messy testing notes into a repeatable improvement loop.

Inputs

• ladder session notes
• testing-block recaps
• scrim summaries
• repeated review findings
• optional target skill or matchup focus

Output

Return these sections in order:

1. Session Goal
2. What Happened
3. Repeated Patterns
4. Keep
5. Change Next Session
6. Follow-Up Questions

Workflow

1. Identify what the user was trying to improve during the session.
2. Compress the session into a short factual recap rather than a blow-by-blow log.
3. Extract repeated patterns across games, not one-off emotional reactions.
4. Separate what should be preserved from what should change.
5. Turn the next session into a small number of testable adjustments.
6. If one game needs deeper diagnosis, point toward vgc-battle-review.

Required behavior

• Read journaling-checklist and output-rubric before finalizing.
• Favor recurring patterns over isolated frustration.
• Keep Keep and Change Next Session concrete enough to test.
• If a repeated issue depends on prep assumptions, hand off toward vgc-opponent-scout or vgc-calcs-assistant.
• Do not turn the journal into a turn-by-turn review, one-game tilt report, or vague "practice more" recap.
