Session Wrap Up

End-of-session protocol to preserve context and ensure continuity between sessions.

When Triggered

Run this protocol when the user indicates they want to wrap up the current session before starting a new one.

Protocol Steps

Execute these steps in order:

1. Flush to Daily Log

Write to memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md (create if doesn't exist):

• Key topics discussed in this session

• Decisions made

• Commands, configs, or code that worked

• Problems solved and how they were solved

• Any gotchas or lessons learned

2. Update Long-Term Memory

If significant learnings occurred, update MEMORY.md:

• New user preferences discovered

• Important lessons learned

• Long-term decisions made

• Workflow changes

3. Update PARA Notes

Check and update the PARA structure in notes/ (or memory/notes/):

• Open loops (notes/areas/open-loops.md): Add new unfinished items, mark completed items with ✅

• Projects (notes/projects/): Update progress on active projects

• Areas (notes/areas/): Add new ongoing responsibilities

• Resources (notes/resources/): Add new reference material, how-tos

4. Commit Changes

cd <workspace>
git add -A
git status
git commit -m "wrap-up: YYYY-MM-DD session summary"
git push

Notes:

• The wrap-up git push is automatic (no confirmation prompt).

• If git push fails, report the error and leave the commit locally.

5. Report Summary

Provide a brief summary to the user:

• What was captured

• Files updated

• Any items that need follow-up next session

• Confirmation that changes were committed (and pushed, if successful)
