Local, formless, git-free capture: thin capture.sh helper drops timestamped notes into a gitignored .journal/ at repo root, as loose entries or inside category subfolders. Adds the .journal/ gitignore line (distinct from .context/) and the Journal, entry, and category terms to the workflow glossary.

Opt-in export half proving the full pipeline end-to-end against one downstream flow: reads .journal/ layout and content, proposes grouping (standalone / many-to-one merge / one-to-many split), biases hard to an existing docs area with any new section surfaced for approval, gates on an unconditional confirm showing destination and reshaped text, then delegates a rough-idea note to log-future-addition and prompts whether to delete the source (default keep). Journal never contacts GitHub itself. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01R7K2o7ZV4gzQhNv7xkZwtf
Extend the dispatcher's flow-picker with the remaining destinations, reusing the existing grouping, confirm gate, and delete prompt: work items to to-issues, a fleshed-out spec to to-prd, a decision or new term to grill-with-docs (ADR or CONTEXT), and research to a plain docs write into an existing section. Each delegates and never reimplements formatting, ticketing, or branching.

Changes
Adds a journal skill with two clearly-separated halves. Capture drops formless notes into a gitignored .journal/ at the repo root — loose or inside category subfolders — via a thin capture.sh helper, with no git or GitHub contact. Export is an opt-in dispatcher: it reads the journal, proposes a grouping (standalone, merge a category many-to-one, or split an entry one-to-many), biases hard toward an existing docs area behind an unconditional confirm gate, delegates to the skill that owns that output (log-future-addition, to-issues, to-prd, grill-with-docs, or a plain docs write for research), then prompts whether to delete the source note.
Also adds the .journal/ gitignore line (kept distinct from .context/) and the Journal, entry, and category terms to the workflow glossary.
Notes
The journal captures and routes only — it never reimplements formatting, ticketing, or branching, and never pushes or contacts GitHub itself; every outward action is owned by the delegated flow. No new ADR: this is reversible tooling, not an architectural decision. The three commits map one-to-one to the three slice issues (#678 capture, #679 dispatcher, #680 full flow-picker).
