Enrich a session journal entry with structured metadata.

When to Use

•When journal entries lack metadata for future reference
•After exporting sessions that need categorization
•When building a searchable session archive

Input

The user specifies a journal entry by partial match:

•twinkly-stirring-kettle (slug)
•twinkly (partial slug)
•2026-01-24 (date)
•76fe2ab9 (short ID)

Find matching files:

bash

ls .context/journal/*.md | grep -i "<pattern>"

If multiple matches, show them and ask which one. If no argument given, show recent entries and ask.

Enrichment Tasks

Read the journal entry and extract:

1. Frontmatter (YAML at top of file)

yaml
