Base prompts
A good prompt is short, does not force an interpretation, and does not ask for personal trauma.
- Which phrase in the scroll feels useful today?
- What one step can I take without pressure?
- What do I want to reread in a week?

Journal prompts
A journal turns a reading from a one-time answer into personal observation: what I understood, felt, and will do.
User need
After a scroll, the user needs a form so the meaning is not lost in emotion.
Calm promise
Offer safe prompts without self-diagnosis, surveillance, or anxious repeats.
Safe boundaries
The journal should not ask for diagnosis, legal conclusions, or control over another person.
- Do not ask: 'what will they definitely do?'
- Ask: 'which boundary matters to me now?'
- Do not turn journal into partner surveillance.
Gentle nudges
- Write one line, not the whole scroll.
- Separate fact, feeling, and symbol.
- Return to the note when the emotion changes.
What to avoid
- Do not make journaling mandatory before purchase.
- Do not require sensitive details.
- Do not write prompts that increase answer-dependence.
QA checklist
- Prompt can be done in 2 minutes.
- Soft link to archive and Echo exists.
- No medical, legal, or financial conclusions.
