Session Wrap

session-wrap

End-of-session capture for the things that won't surface on their own next time the user sits down. The failure mode this prevents: follow-up work gets agreed in conversation, the session ends, and a week later the user can't remember what was left hanging.

When to Use This Skill

Configuration

Read per-user/per-project config before doing anything:

1. .claude/session-plugin.local.md in the project (wins)
2. ~/.claude/session-plugin.local.md (user-global fallback)
3. Neither exists → taskwarrior + GitHub-issue destinations only; no journal

YAML frontmatter carries the journal settings (journal, journal_path, journal_template, heading targets, journal_scopes); the markdown body carries freeform scope-detection heuristics and the user's taskwarrior project-naming map — read it and apply it as context. Full schema and a worked example: REFERENCE.md.

Destinations

Out-of-scope sessions get only the taskwarrior pass (plus GitHub issues if applicable). Default to skipping the journal when scope is unclear — better than spamming it. Ask once if genuinely ambiguous.

The signal filter

This is the whole point. Log only what the user would miss tomorrow.

LOG IT: task started but blocked · manual follow-up outside Claude Code · deferred decision · untracked loose thread (bug noticed in passing, doc to write) · investigation finding worth not losing · upstream candidate (bug/docs-gap/feature-gap noticed in a dependency, or a local fix that belongs upstream — route it in Step 4, never file blind).

DO NOT LOG: work that finished cleanly (mark the task done, don't narrate it) · an open PR or assigned issue as its own task — the PR/issue is the tracker (below) · anything already tracked that didn't change state · routine ops · self-resolving items ("CI still running") · conversational context · speculation ("might refactor X someday") · anything already tracked upstream (an existing third-party issue/PR that didn't change).

Litmus, both clauses: "If I don't write this down, will the user notice the gap tomorrow — and is there no open PR or issue already carrying it?" Both yes → log. Either no → skip. 3-6 items per wrap is the right shape; 10+ means the filter is too loose. Worked examples: REFERENCE.md.

Don't duplicate an existing tracker

An open PR or assigned issue is its own tracker. The Step 1 digest's PRS section carries every open PR (with PR_n_STALE_DAYS) and GITHUB_DRIFT every assigned-but-untracked issue, and session-plugin:session-spinup surfaces both next session — so a task reading "PR #N is open / needs merging" only duplicates them, and taskwarrior-plugin:task-reconcile closes it on merge anyway. A task earns its existence when it carries something the PR or issue does not:

Check a candidate's PR/issue number against PRS / GITHUB_DRIFT before adding — a hit means annotate, not add. Same test for journal todos.

Execution

Execute this wrap workflow:

Step 1: Survey

Run the shared read-only collector — it does project detection, the git/PR/taskwarrior survey, and recent commits in one parallel-safe pass, emitting each task with its stable UUID so Steps 2/4 never operate on a volatile numeric ID:

bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/session-survey.sh" --with-commits --with-dedup

Pass --project <name> when the config naming map maps the cwd to a project other than the repo basename; when detection is ambiguous (DETECTION=ambiguous) and unclear, list task _projects and ask once. --with-dedup populates GITHUB_DRIFT, which the "Don't duplicate an existing tracker" section below reads — without it the section is always empty and the check silently passes against nothing. That section's GH_READY matters too: false means PRS/GITHUB_DRIFT are present but unqueried, not "nothing open" — never treat an empty section under GH_READY=false as license to add a task that duplicates an untracked PR/issue. The GH_FAIL_REASON= beside it says whether that is worth fixing before you file: re-run once for timeout / api-error / unknown; for auth / no-cli the dedup set is simply unavailable this session, so keep the bar for adding a task high; for no-remote there is no PR/issue to duplicate and the caveat does not apply. Then read the conversation itself — what was kicked off but not finished, discussed but not done.

Step 2: Categorise

Resolve numeric task IDs to UUIDs at read time (task _get <id>.uuid) and operate on UUIDs — IDs shift when any task completes.

Step 3: Preview and confirm

Show a compact preview of everything about to be written (per-destination blocks; one block per project if several were touched).

Then confirm with AskUserQuestion — options like "Apply", "Apply without journal", "Adjust first". Never end the turn on a freeform "Apply? (y/n)" text question: ending the turn fires Stop hooks, which can inject content and split the confirmation (this raced the old nudge hook in production). AskUserQuestion keeps the turn open — no Stop event, no race.

Step 4: Apply

Taskwarrior: task <uuid> done / task <uuid> annotate "..." / task add project:<name> priority:M +<tag> '<description>'. Annotate before closing. Journal: append per the configured headings — mechanics in REFERENCE.md. GitHub: one issue per follow-up, then edit the PR description to link them.

Upstream candidates: route each one with an AskUserQuestion — two equal-weight options (no default lean):

• Track for later → task add project:<name> +upstream '<desc — name the upstream repo + what/why>'. No outward action; the +upstream tag is where "file this upstream" work surfaces later (taskwarrior-plugin:task-add).

• File now → hand off, in order:

  1. workflow-orchestration-plugin:workflow-verify-before-filing — verify the bug still exists at upstream HEAD and dedup against the tracker.
  2. agent-patterns-plugin:cold-read-gate — body legibility + internal-context-leak check before anything is published (public-export-sanitization.md).
  3. File the issue (git-plugin:github-issue-writing) or open the local-fix backport. When commenting on an existing issue, read the full thread first (git-plugin:git-issue-scoping).

  Graceful degradation: if workflow-orchestration-plugin is not installed (mirrors the feedback-plugin / blueprint-plugin cross-plugin fallback in session-end), fall back to git-plugin:github-issue-writing + an explicit manual upstream-HEAD verification, or route to Track for later instead — never file unverified.

Step 5: Report

One paragraph: what was written where, plus the count of items skipped as noise so the user can sanity-check the filter.

Auto-surfacing

A Stop hook (hooks/session-end-nudge.sh) offers session-plugin:session-end (which can route here) once per session on genuine user wind-down phrasing. It stays silent while this skill is running. Pre-silence for a session: touch ~/.cache/claude-session-end-nudge/<session_id>.
