save

A command that saves the current work state and creates a prompt for continuing later. It records recent work, unfinished changes, quality checks, and blockers, then can commit and push changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before switching sessions or taking a break to snapshot progress, preserve relevant changes, and prepare a continuation prompt.
Why use it?
It prevents context and progress from being lost when a session is paused. The next session can start with a concise record of what happened and what remains.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 114 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/kas:save - Session Snapshot

Save session progress for continuation across multiple sessions. Unlike /kas:done, this doesn't close all work - it creates a snapshot and generates a continuation prompt.

Arguments

  • $ARGUMENTS - Optional context or notes to include in the snapshot

When to Use

  • Pausing work that will continue in another session
  • Freeing context without losing progress
  • Creating a checkpoint before switching tasks

Instructions

1. Collect Session State

git status --short
git log --oneline -5

2. Generate Session Summary

Review and summarize:

  • Completed work: Recent commits
  • In-progress work: Uncommitted changes
  • Quality gate status: Results if run this session
  • Blockers: Any issues preventing progress

3. Stage and Commit Changes (if any)

If there are unstaged changes:

git add <relevant-files>
git commit -m "<appropriate message>"

4. Push to Remote

git pull --rebase
git push

5. Add PR Comment (if PR exists)

Check for existing PR:

gh pr view --json url -q .url 2>/dev/null

If PR exists, add session snapshot comment:

gh pr comment --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
## Session Snapshot - {date}

**Completed:**
- {completed_items}

**Quality Gates:** {status}

**Next Session Prompt:**

{next_prompt}

EOF
)"

6. Clean Up Git State

git stash clear
git remote prune origin

7. Verify Clean State

git status

Must show branch is up to date with origin.

8. Output Next Session Prompt

Generate and display prominently for user to copy:

Continue work on {feature-name}:
- Resume: {current in-progress work}
- Context: {brief context about blockers or pending work}

Display this in a code block for easy copying.

Key Differences from /kas:done

Aspect /kas:save /kas:done
Work status Keeps work open Closes completed work
Focus Session boundary Task completion
Prompt Continuation-focused Next task suggestion
PR comment Session snapshot Optional

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.

save is a command published in the GitHub repository kastheco/claude-plugins (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 573 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
