session-catchup

session-catchup is a command for coding agents from akshayrao14/git-practices. It costs 40 tokens per session (127 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for restoring project context at the start of a coding session. It reads handoff files and recent updates, checks whether earlier verification commands may have drifted, and suggests the next step.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when returning to an unfinished project, especially when another session left notes about open tasks and checks.
Why use it?
It helps you continue work without rereading the whole conversation or guessing what changed since the previous session.

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

session-catchup 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 3d 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.

What it actually says

Invoke the session-loop skill with focus=catchup. Load sub/catchup.md from the skill directory and follow it exactly.

Args (optional):

  • --focus <thread> — bias the recommendation toward a specific open thread from the handoff.

Replaces the built-in /resume (which loads a chat transcript, not project state). Acts on the current working directory's project.

Changes

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.
