USE FOR: Non-code working artifacts: local markdown task trackers, plans, research notes, review packets, drafts, scratch outputs, supplied artifact paths, work-start/resume discovery and reuse, canonical-vs-multiple artifact decisions, cwd-independent mkmd invocation, and human-facing Secret-Gist delivery. DO NOT USE FOR: code/config changes, planning semantics, public publication without approval, cross-machine agent memory, or claude.ai's `/artifacts` feature (see `artifact-design`).

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

# Logbook

Owns non-code artifact lifecycle and delivery: where working artifacts live,
when to create or reuse them, how to discover them on resume, and how to
prepare approved human-facing Secret-Gist delivery.

A logbook entry is a local Markdown file (`mkmd`) or a Secret Gist — never
claude.ai's Artifact/canvas feature (hence this skill's name, not
`artifacts`). Route `/artifacts` questions to `artifact-design`; see
references below for `mkmd` vs. Gist.

Follow the active runtime/session language policy or explicit request. This
skill does not define its own output language defaults.

## 1. Workflow

1. If the requester supplied an artifact path, use that path as canonical.
2. If no path was supplied, use
   [Local Markdown Artifacts](references/local-markdown.md) to discover
   work-start or resume candidates before creating a file.
3. Reuse one matching active artifact for the same repo, branch, task, and
   purpose; create a separate file only for a genuinely separate purpose.
4. If durable state is needed and no path exists, create a markdown artifact
   with the cwd-independent `mkmd` contract in the local markdown reference.
5. For human-facing Secret-Gist delivery, read

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add i9wa4/dotfiles/logbook@sha256:76b4c0ef6c47adbe

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
