Session End

Session End — Graceful Wrap-Up

Runs both save-session and save-diary together as one clean session close.

Activation

When this skill activates, output: "Wrapping up — saving session and diary."

Step 1: Save Session Context

Update {MEMORYCORE_PATH}/core/session.md:

• Last session summary: What was accomplished today (specific, not generic)
• Current working state: Where things stand — what's in-progress, what's done
• Next steps: What should be picked up next session
• Blockers or open questions: Anything left unresolved

Step 2: Update Reminders

Update {MEMORYCORE_PATH}/core/reminders.md:

• Ask the user — any pending tasks, deadlines, or reminders to carry forward?
• Move completed reminders to the Completed section with date
• Keep active ones, add new ones

Step 3: Update Per-Project Context

If working on a registered project, update {MEMORYCORE_PATH}/projects/active/{project}.md → Session Context section with what was last worked on, current state, and next steps for that project.

Step 4: Check for Memory Updates

• preferences.md: Were any new preferences, tools, or working patterns observed? Update {MEMORYCORE_PATH}/core/preferences.md if so.
• MEMORY.md: Were any new technical learnings, gotchas, or architectural decisions made? Update {MEMORY_MD_PATH} if so. Size guard: after editing, count lines — warn if over 170 (200-line truncation limit).
• decisions.md: Was a non-obvious architectural or technical decision made? Append to {MEMORYCORE_PATH}/core/decisions.md using format: ## YYYY-MM-DD — Title / **Context** / **Decision** / **Rationale**

Step 5: Save Diary Entry (if session was significant)

A session is "significant" if any of these are true:

• Feature shipped or major bug fixed
• Architecture or tech decision made
• New project started or milestone reached
• Meaningful learning or discovery happened
• Career or profile work done

If significant: append entry to {MEMORYCORE_PATH}/diary/current/YYYY-MM-DD.md

Run monthly archive check first (move any previous-month files from current/ to archived/YYYY-MM/).

Entry structure (our actual format):

• Title: # YYYY-MM-DD — Session N: Brief Description
• What Happened: Concise summary of the session context and goals
• Fixes Applied / Key Changes: Specific technical work done (commits, code changes)
• Key Insight: Lessons learned or important observations
• Pending / Next Steps: What's left to do

Step 6: Git Commit + Push MemoryCore

Stage all changed files in MemoryCore, commit with a descriptive message, and push to GitHub (git push origin main). This keeps the remote diary and session state up to date.

Step 7: Confirm and Close

Output a brief summary:

Session saved:
- session.md — updated
- reminders.md — [updated / no changes]
- {project}.md — [updated / N/A]
- MEMORY.md — [updated with X / no changes]
- Dev Diary — [entry added / no significant session]
- MemoryCore — committed + pushed
See you next time.

Mandatory Rules

• ALWAYS save session.md (even for short sessions)
• ONLY save diary if session was genuinely significant
• Keep the goodbye warm but brief — user prefers concise responses
