Wrap Up

Session Wrap-Up

Automated end-of-session workflow that:

1. Gathers all file changes from git to ensure nothing is missed
2. Creates a journey documenting what was done and learned
3. Analyzes skills to identify evolution opportunities
4. Evolves skills based on journey learnings
5. Updates the journey to include skill evolutions

Usage

/wrap-up {session title}

Arguments

• $0 - Session title describing the main work done (e.g., "Page Margins Feature")

Workflow Steps

Step 1: Gather All File Changes (CRITICAL)

IMPORTANT: Before creating the journey, ALWAYS run these git commands to capture ALL changes from the session. In long sessions, relying on memory alone will miss changes.

Run these commands:

# Show all changed files (staged and unstaged)
git status

# Show detailed diff of all changes (staged and unstaged)
git diff HEAD

# If there are new untracked files, list them
git ls-files --others --exclude-standard

From this output, create a comprehensive list of:

• All modified files and what changed in each
• All new files that were created
• All deleted files
• The nature of changes (bug fix, feature, refactor, etc.)

DO NOT proceed to Step 2 until you have reviewed the git output. This ensures the journey captures everything, not just what's fresh in conversation context.

Step 2: Create Journey

Using the file changes from Step 1 AND the conversation context, create a journey file at .claude/journeys/{date}-{slug}.md.

Include:

• Summary: What was accomplished and why it matters
• What Was Done: Numbered list of major items
• Key Learnings: Insights that prevent future mistakes, patterns discovered
• Files Changed: Table of files and their changes
• Patterns Discovered: Code examples of reusable patterns
• Decisions Made: Table of decisions and rationale

Use today's date: YYYY-MM-DD Slug: lowercase, hyphenated version of title

Step 3: Analyze Skills for Evolution

Read all skills from .claude/skills/*/SKILL.md and compare against the journey learnings.

For each skill, check:

• Does the journey contain patterns/learnings the skill should document?
• Are there new features/components the skill should reference?
• Did we discover edge cases or gotchas the skill should warn about?
• Are there new verification checklist items?

Create a list of skills that need updates with specific changes.

Step 4: Evolve Skills

For each skill identified in Step 3:

1. Read current skill from SKILL.md
2. Increment version (patch for docs, minor for features, major for breaking)
3. Apply changes based on journey learnings
4. Update CHANGELOG.md with:
   • Version number and date
   • What was added/changed/fixed
   • "Journey-driven" note referencing the journey
5. Save version backup to .versions/{version}.md

Step 5: Update Journey

Add a new section to the journey documenting the skill evolutions:

## Skills Evolved

Based on learnings from this session, the following skills were updated:

| Skill | Version | Changes |
|-------|---------|---------|
| add-chart | 1.2.0 → 1.3.0 | Added data attributes documentation |
| theming | 1.0.0 → 1.1.0 | Added handle styling patterns |

Example Output

After running /wrap-up Page Margins Feature:

✓ Gathered file changes from git:
  - 12 files modified
  - 3 files created
  - 1 file deleted
✓ Created journey: .claude/journeys/2026-02-02-page-margins-feature.md
✓ Analyzed 9 skills for evolution opportunities
✓ Evolved 3 skills:
  - add-dashboard: 1.0.0 → 2.0.0 (major - full feature parity)
  - add-chart: 1.2.0 → 1.3.0 (minor - data attributes)
  - theming: 1.0.0 → 1.1.0 (minor - handle styling)
✓ Updated journey with skill evolutions

Skill Evolution Guidelines

When to evolve a skill:

Version increments:

• Patch (1.0.0 → 1.0.1): Typo fixes, clarifications
• Minor (1.0.0 → 1.1.0): New patterns, features, checklist items
• Major (1.0.0 → 2.0.0): Significant restructuring, new sections

Files Created/Modified

Notes

• If no skills need evolution, still create the journey
• Always create version backups before modifying skills
• Reference the journey in changelog entries
• Keep journey and skill updates consistent
