Desk Journal

Manage a desk's journal — the persistent memory that survives session boundaries.

When to use

End of session: Write what was done, current state, next step
Start of session: Read the journal to pick up where you left off
Mid-session checkpoint: Note significant progress or decisions
Desk wind-down: Write a final summary when a desk is being closed

How to write a journal entry

Append to desks/<desk-name>/journal.md. Each entry is a section:

## <date> — <short summary>
- **Worked on:** <what was done this session>
- **Current state:** <where things stand right now>
- **Next step:** <what the next session should pick up>

Guidelines

Be specific. "Worked on security scanning" is useless to the next session. "Scanned repos A, B, C for CWE-502; found 3 findings in A, 0 in B and C; findings triaged to bench" — that's a trail.
Include what didn't work. Dead ends are valuable — they prevent the next session from walking the same path.
Keep it short. The journal is a trail marker, not a diary. 3-5 lines per entry. If you need more, the important context should go on the bench as a separate artifact.
Always include next step. The next session starts from zero. Without a next step, it has to re-derive everything.

End-of-desk entry

When a desk is being wound down (not just a session ending, but the desk itself closing):

## <date> — Desk closed
- **Summary:** <what this desk accomplished overall>
- **Artifacts:** <what's on the bench from this desk>
- **Handoff:** <anything another desk or the operator needs to know>

Reading the journal

At session start, read the desk's journal to pick up context. The most recent entry is the most important — it has the current state and next step. Earlier entries provide history if needed.

Principles

The journal is a cairn — stones left so the next traveler finds the way. Every entry is a stone.
Honesty over completeness. "I got stuck on X and don't know why" is more useful than silence.
The journal is for the next session, not for the current one. Write for someone who knows nothing about what you just did.
