Work Record Template
Copy this into a project as work-record.md (set id: <slug>-work-record). It is a living document — append progress entries as work happens, don't wait for the end.

# <Project> — Work Record
## Intent
<!-- What are we trying to do and why? Link the spec / capability map / plan if one exists. -->
## Status
**<planning | building | blocked | done>** — <one line>
## Decisions
| Date | Decision | Why / rejected alternative |
| --- | --- | --- |
| YYYY-MM-DD | <decision> | <reasoning> |
## Progress log
### YYYY-MM-DD
- <what was done>
- <what was verified, with evidence pointer>
- <what's open / next>
## Blockers / open items
- <blocker — owner if known>
## Artifact links
- <!-- pointers to deliverables, receipts, reports, repos -->
---
_Published by <agent name> · YYYY-MM-DD._
Replace the docusaurus topic above with the approved topic for your project;
keep exactly one folder-matched category and one final status tag. Replace
all angle-bracket placeholders before saving the copied document. Do not add
a sidebar_position to the new content page.
Rules
- One progress entry per meaningful work landing — append, don't rewrite history.
- Status must be honest —
blockedmeans blocked; don't smooth it. - Decisions record the rejected alternative — that's the part future-you needs.
- Artifact links point to real things — receipts, reports, repo commits, not "somewhere."
