Starting a new long-running workstream often means losing context between sessions because there is no persistent memory or standard structure. This Skill sets up a dedicated desk directory with a journal and signals folder so every future session can pick up exactly where the last one left off.
desks/<desk-name>/ folder containing a journal.md file and a .signals/ directory for structured JSON output.security-scan desk; it creates the folder, seeds the journal, and announces the desk's focus for future sessions.Ask the agent to open a new desk named api-review in the workshop so future sessions can resume its work from the journal.

Provide a workshop directory and a short kebab-case desk name. The skill creates desks/<desk-name>/ with a journal.md file and a .signals/ folder, then writes an initial journal entry describing the desk's purpose and scope.
If desks/<desk-name>/ already contains a journal.md, the desk is treated as live and is not overwritten. The skill resumes it by reading the existing journal, unless you explicitly rename or archive the old desk first.
The journal is the desk's persistent memory. Sessions read it at the start to load prior context and write to it at the end, so the next session continues from where the previous one stopped.
No, opening a desk only initializes storage. A desk becomes active when a session references its directory and reads its journal; desks persist in state, not in runtime.
Open two desks when a scope becomes too broad for a single focus. Each desk's value comes from its specific frame, so splitting diluted topics into separate desks keeps each journal coherent.
