# 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
