Journal Worklog Plugin Implementation Plan
For agentic workers: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (
- [ ]) syntax for tracking.
Goal: Create a baseline verstak.journal plugin that stores worklog entries and imports Activity worklog suggestions.
Architecture: Implement Journal as a plain official frontend plugin. Store entries in plugin settings by workspace key, render a workspace/global Journal view, and consume Activity suggestions through api.commands.executeFor.
Tech Stack: Official plugin JSON manifest, browserless JavaScript bundle, Node smoke test, Markdown docs.
Global Constraints
- Journal/worklog remains plugin functionality, not desktop core.
- Do not build billing reports or invoice export in this slice.
- Import from Activity must degrade cleanly when Activity is unavailable.
- Use TDD: write and run a failing smoke test before creating the plugin.
- Commit and push each affected repository after meaningful changes.
Task 1: Document The Slice
Files:
- Create:
/home/mirivlad/git/verstak2/verstak-docs/docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-29-journal-worklog-plugin-design.md - Create:
/home/mirivlad/git/verstak2/verstak-docs/docs/superpowers/plans/2026-06-29-journal-worklog-plugin.md
Interfaces:
-
Produces a written contract for
verstak.journal. -
Step 1: Write spec and plan
Write the design and this implementation plan.
- Step 2: Verify docs
Run:
cd /home/mirivlad/git/verstak2/verstak-docs
git diff --check
Expected: exits 0.
- Step 3: Commit and push docs
Run:
cd /home/mirivlad/git/verstak2/verstak-docs
git add docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-29-journal-worklog-plugin-design.md docs/superpowers/plans/2026-06-29-journal-worklog-plugin.md
git commit -m "docs: plan journal worklog plugin"
git push
Expected: docs main is clean and pushed.
Task 2: Journal Plugin
Files:
- Create:
/home/mirivlad/git/verstak2/verstak-official-plugins/plugins/journal/plugin.json - Create:
/home/mirivlad/git/verstak2/verstak-official-plugins/plugins/journal/frontend/src/index.js - Create:
/home/mirivlad/git/verstak2/verstak-official-plugins/scripts/smoke-journal-plugin.js - Modify:
/home/mirivlad/git/verstak2/verstak-official-plugins/scripts/check.sh
Interfaces:
-
Produces plugin id
verstak.journal. -
Produces component
JournalView. -
Consumes
api.commands.executeFor('verstak.activity', 'verstak.activity.suggestWorklog', args). -
Step 1: Write the failing smoke test
Create scripts/smoke-journal-plugin.js and assert manifest identity,
mounting, manual entry storage, Activity import, duplicate prevention, and
global aggregation.
- Step 2: Run RED
Run:
cd /home/mirivlad/git/verstak2/verstak-official-plugins
node scripts/smoke-journal-plugin.js
Expected: fails because the Journal manifest and frontend entry do not exist.
- Step 3: Add manifest and frontend
Create plugins/journal/plugin.json with provides of worklog, journal,
and report.worklog, optional dependency activity.reconstruction, and
workspace/sidebar UI contributions. Create JournalView that stores entries
under worklog:workspace:<encoded workspace root>.
- Step 4: Wire check script
Add node "$ROOT/scripts/smoke-journal-plugin.js" to the frontend smoke
section in scripts/check.sh.
- Step 5: Run GREEN
Run:
cd /home/mirivlad/git/verstak2/verstak-official-plugins
node scripts/smoke-journal-plugin.js
./scripts/check.sh
Expected: both commands exit 0.
- Step 6: Commit and push official plugin
Run:
cd /home/mirivlad/git/verstak2/verstak-official-plugins
git add plugins/journal scripts/smoke-journal-plugin.js scripts/check.sh
git commit -m "feat: add journal worklog plugin"
git push
Expected: official plugins main is clean and pushed.
Task 3: Mark Roadmap Progress
Files:
- Modify:
/home/mirivlad/git/verstak2/verstak-docs/05_Official_Plugins.md - Modify:
/home/mirivlad/git/verstak2/verstak-docs/07_Full_Implementation_Roadmap.md
Interfaces:
-
Consumes verified Journal plugin commit.
-
Produces docs matching implemented behavior.
-
Step 1: Update Journal status
Add a current status sentence describing the baseline Journal plugin, manual worklog entries, and Activity suggestion import.
- Step 2: Update roadmap
Change:
- implement journal/worklog plugin that can consume activity suggestions.
to:
- [x] implement journal/worklog plugin that can consume activity suggestions.
- Step 3: Verify docs
Run:
cd /home/mirivlad/git/verstak2/verstak-docs
git diff --check
rg -n "implement journal/worklog plugin that can consume activity suggestions|baseline `verstak.journal`" 05_Official_Plugins.md 07_Full_Implementation_Roadmap.md
Expected: git diff --check exits 0 and rg shows the checked roadmap line
and Journal status.
- Step 4: Commit and push docs
Run:
cd /home/mirivlad/git/verstak2/verstak-docs
git add 05_Official_Plugins.md 07_Full_Implementation_Roadmap.md
git commit -m "docs: mark journal worklog plugin complete"
git push
Expected: docs main is clean and pushed.
