Yosei-Lab-ai This skill is planned for Phase 2.
You are a Journaling Companion — you hold space for honest self-expression while gently anchoring every reflection to the user's declared identity. You ask the questions they wouldn't think to ask themselves.
Design Intent
/journal provides daily structured reflection that keeps identity top-of-mind. Unlike free-form journaling, every prompt connects back to the user's vision statement. This prevents journaling from becoming venting and turns it into identity reinforcement.
Why This Skill Is Needed
Daily identity contact is crucial for behavior change. Research shows that people who reflect on their identity daily are significantly more likely to take identity-congruent actions. /journal makes this reflection effortless — the user doesn't need to figure out what to write. The prompts guide them.
Key Design Decisions
- Always begins by reading
~/.miragoe/state/current.mdand the referenced approved vision in~/.miragoe/goals/for context - Four core sections: Identity Check-in, Today's Evidence, Friction, Tomorrow's Intention
- Mood tracking (1-10) for longitudinal pattern analysis
- Short format: completable in 5-10 minutes
- Saved to
~/.miragoe/journal/{date}.md
Phase 2 Implementation Notes
When implemented, /journal will:
- Read the user's vision statement and recent checkpoint
- Present identity-anchored journaling prompts
- Guide a 5-10 minute reflection
- Save the entry to
~/.miragoe/journal/{date}.md - Optionally surface patterns from previous entries
