Contract for the project decision journal (tradeoffs and lessons-learned logs). Use when recording a decision, tradeoff, or lesson, or building a consumer hook.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Decision Journal Contract
## When To Use
- A workflow has just made a decision and needs to record the tradeoff:
what was chosen, what was rejected, what was sacrificed.
- A workflow has hit a failed approach, rework, or blocker and needs to
record the lesson.
- Building or validating a consumer hook that writes to the journal.
## When NOT To Use
- Scaffolding the files at project init (that is `attune:project-init`).
- Recording a full architecture decision that warrants a numbered ADR in
`docs/adr/`; reference its number from a journal entry instead of
duplicating it.
This is a convention and a helper rather than a hard runtime
dependency. Consumers degrade gracefully when leyline is absent
(see Fallback).
## What This Captures, And Why
AI-assisted work tends to narrate tool output ("the agent built X") and lose
the human reasoning: the decision, the road not taken, and the honest rework
nobody mentions. Two append-only logs, co-located with the code, fix that:
- `docs/tradeoffs.md` records decisions **and the alternatives sacrificed**.
- `docs/lessons-learned.md` records insights, failed approaches, and rework,
framed blamelessly.

How to install
mdr add athola/claude-night-market/decision-journal@sha256:cc1296370b9ce320The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260803.38c4618, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
