Create or backfill append-only agent journal entries under the day the work happened, especially when writing after midnight or reconstructing a delayed session from timestamps.
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
# Journal Journal entries belong to the work day, not automatically to the day they are written. Preserve each agent's local filename, metadata, and body format; this skill standardizes only dating and append-only history. ## Choose the date 1. Use the date on which the recorded work began or primarily happened. 2. For delayed write-ups, verify the date from session-start, commit, or tool timestamps. Do not infer it from relative words such as "yesterday". 3. If the date cannot be recovered reliably, use the write date and disclose that uncertainty in the entry. Include both the work start and write time when the entry is written later. Keep the repository's existing filename and metadata conventions; do not replace topic names, session identifiers, or local frontmatter with a shared template. ## Create without overwriting The bundled helper creates `journal/YYYY-MM-DD/<name>.md`, refuses an existing path, and writes stdin verbatim: ```bash printf '%s\n' '# Session notes' | \ JOURNAL_STARTED='2026-09-26T21:30:00+02:00' \ bash "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/journal-new.sh" erbot-session ``` Use `JOURNAL_DATE=YYYY-MM-DD` when only the work day is known.

How to install
mdr add gptme/gptme-contrib/journal@sha256:247542b931cf6f96The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260928.2953102, 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.
