work-journal
v0.3.0Cross-session memory for long-running work: append-only diary (LOG) and decision (DEC) logs under .claude/memory, grouped by work item (JIRA-123, RFC-7, …), with derived open-item tracking so any later session can answer what is still pending, what changed on a ticket, and what was done since a date. Ships its own clock-in/clock-out protocol via a UserPromptSubmit hook.

Included Skills2
This skill should be used at clock-out, when the session's work embodied a real choice — a tech choice, changed scope, reversed plan, or non-obvious trade-off — or when the user says "record this decision", "log why we chose this", or "write an ADR". Appends a reasoned decision (DEC) entry with Consideration / Decision / Rationale, computes the entry id and ISO timestamp, validates refs, and stages the entry for commit.
This skill should be used at clock-out — before every git commit, or when the user says "clock out", "log this session", "record what we did", or "wrap up" — to append a progress (LOG) entry recording what was done, why, what comes next, and which pending items are now finished. Automatically computes the entry id, ISO timestamp, and HEAD commit SHA, assigns a trackable NEXT- id to each follow-up, closes completed items, and stages the entry for commit.
