Session to Brain

Archive Copilot CLI sessions to your brain for future reference.

Overview

This skill captures a Copilot session and saves it to your brain in two places:

Daily Projects - A markdown file with the full session transcript
Weekly Note - A bullet with the session focus and resume command

When to Use

At the end of a significant work session you want to preserve
When switching contexts and want to capture what you accomplished
Before closing a session you might want to resume later

Inputs

The skill needs:

Session ID - Available from the session context (look for the session folder path)
Focus - A brief description of what the session was about (1-5 words)

Detailed Instructions

Step 1: Gather Information

Ask the user for the focus (what was this session about?). The session ID is available from the session context - look for the path like ~/.copilot/session-state/UUID/.

Step 2: Extract Transcript

Run the transcript extraction script:

~/.copilot/skills/session-to-brain/scripts/extract-transcript \
  --session-id "SESSION_ID" \
  --output "/tmp/session-transcript.md"

Step 3: Create Daily Project File

Run the daily project creation script:

~/.copilot/skills/session-to-brain/scripts/create-daily-project \
  --focus "FOCUS" \
  --session-id "SESSION_ID" \
  --transcript "/tmp/session-transcript.md"

This outputs the path to the created file.

Step 3b: Add Frontmatter

The create-daily-project script does not currently add frontmatter. After the file is created, add frontmatter to it:

node ~/.copilot/skills/frontmatter-add/scripts/add-frontmatter.js "PATH_FROM_STEP_3"

Or generate a TID and add it manually:

node ~/.copilot/skills/frontmatter-add/scripts/generate-tid.js

---
uid: <TID>
type: daily.project
created: <today ISO 8601>
tags: []
links:
  related: []
---

Step 4: Update Weekly Note

Run the weekly note update script with the path from step 3:

~/.copilot/skills/session-to-brain/scripts/update-weekly-note \
  --focus "FOCUS" \
  --session-id "SESSION_ID" \
  --daily-project-path "PATH_FROM_STEP_3"

Step 5: Confirm Completion

Report what was created:

The daily project file path
The weekly note that was updated

Scripts

All scripts are in ~/.copilot/skills/session-to-brain/scripts/:

Script	Purpose
`extract-transcript`	Parse events.jsonl into readable markdown
`create-daily-project`	Create numbered file in Daily Projects folder
`update-weekly-note`	Add wikilink + resume command to today's section

Example Prompts

Archive current session

Quick archive

Save this session as "OKR pivot planning"
