Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 943 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

save-session scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 104 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Save Session

Create a beautifully formatted session summary document in this conversation capturing meaningful insights.

Task Workflow

  1. Check for Existing Session: First check if there's an existing session file to archive
  2. Archive Previous Session: If found, save it to archive before creating new summary
  3. Gather Context: Run flashback save-session --context to get comprehensive session data
  4. Analyze Session: Extract real accomplishments, file changes, and decisions made
  5. Create New Summary: Output polished session documentation directly in this conversation
  6. Save Session Record: Write the formatted summary to .claude/flashback/memory/CURRENT_SESSION.md

Session File Management

Before creating the new session summary:

  1. Check for existing session: Use Read tool to check if .claude/flashback/memory/CURRENT_SESSION.md exists
  2. Archive if found: If file exists, copy it to .claude/flashback/memory/ARCHIVE/sessions/session-[timestamp].md
  3. Clean old archives: Keep only the 10 most recent archived sessions (delete older ones)

After creating the session summary:

  • Save the formatted document to .claude/flashback/memory/CURRENT_SESSION.md for future archiving

Manual Commands (Alternative)

If the built-in archiving above fails, you can use:

  • flashback save-session --archive - Manually archive session files
  • flashback save-session --prune 5 - Manually prune old archived sessions

Note: The primary workflow handles archiving automatically in the prompt above.

Context Gathering

flashback save-session --context

Provides comprehensive session data:

  • Enhanced Analysis Prompt: Detailed instructions for creating beautiful documentation
  • Project Context: Memory and working plan for background
  • Conversation Logs: Complete session transcript with tool calls
  • Git Analysis: Actual file changes and repository state
  • Tool Usage Tracking: All Edit, Write, Bash, and other tool calls made

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
