Designs a sustainable daily journaling practice - morning pages, gratitude, intention setting, evening reflection, and weekly review - matched to the user's goal, with copy-paste templates and a rotating prompt library. Use when someone asks "help me start journaling", "give me journal prompts", "I keep abandoning my journal", or "build me a morning pages routine". Do NOT use for building a general habit or streak system - use habit-builder instead; do NOT use for organizing notes and knowledge into a retrieval system - use second-brain instead; for structured end-of-week planning reviews, see weekly-review.

# Journal Framework

Most journaling practices die within two weeks, and they die for predictable reasons: the ritual is too long, it has no anchor to an existing habit, and the prompts go stale. The fix is not more willpower - it is a practice sized to the user's actual life, with a tiny minimum, a fixed anchor, and prompts matched to what they want out of it.

Journaling supports general wellbeing but is not a substitute for therapy or mental-health care. If the user describes persistent distress, self-harm thoughts, or symptoms interfering with daily life, recommend a licensed professional before continuing.

## Operating procedure
