What Colophon actually records

Every session becomes a TWFF file — a timestamped log of a few categories of events, not a recording of keystrokes.

Writing activity

Edits are grouped into blocks (not individual keystrokes) with a position and a short before/after snapshot — enough to reconstruct what changed, never a keystroke-by-keystroke timeline.

Pasted & external content

Pastes, cited links, and inserted images — where they landed and a short preview, not the full source.

AI interactions

Which model, what was suggested (a short preview, not the full prompt), and how much of it survived into the kept text — a similarity score, not a verdict.

Session shape

Start/end times and periodic word-count checkpoints — enough to see how a document came together over time.

Full field-level detail: the format is open — see the TWFF specification.
