close-session

close-session is a skill for Claude Code from awrshift/agent-memory-kit. It costs 64 tokens per session (1,082 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An end-of-session workflow that reviews new lessons, asks before promoting repeated patterns, refreshes memory files, and writes a handoff.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when finishing work for the day to update memory, identify repeated patterns, and prepare notes for the next session.
Why use it?
It turns useful observations from a work session into organized notes without automatically promoting them into long-term rules or concepts.

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

close-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 8d 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 — 67 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/close-session — the end-of-session ritual

You close the session in four steps. Don't just dump — audit. Everything you write, you announce briefly; anything promoted to rules/concepts needs the user's verbal "yes" first.

Step 1 — Capture what's new

Scan this session for observations worth keeping. Append each to .claude/memory/MEMORY.md as a ONE-LINE [YYYY-MM-DD]-prefixed entry. Short, scannable, no essays (long rationale belongs in a concept article, step 2).

  • File each line under a TOPIC heading of the patterns section (engineering, process, infra, the domain…) — create the topic if none fits. Never open a heading named after the session or the date (### s66 (2026-09-25), ## Session 65 wrap): the date lives in each line's prefix, the session narrative lives in the handoff (step 4). The SessionStart hook flags such headings.
  • Don't capture what the always-loaded layer already says (CLAUDE.md, rules without paths:) or a number whose source of truth lives elsewhere (a price table, a config) — point at the source instead of copying the value.

Step 2 — Audit & promote (the valuable part)

Read the date-tagged entries in MEMORY.md. Look for repetition: did this pattern appear on 3+ different dates? Surface 2-4 candidates, be specific: "noticed [date], [date], [date] you said X — codify as a rule or a concept article?"

  • User says yes → write knowledge/concepts/<topic>.md (facts + rationale; frontmatter per knowledge/index.md spec) or .claude/rules/<name>.md (mechanical always/never constraint; only for patterns stable 6+ months). Update knowledge/index.md (one line per concept).
  • Promoted or long-absorbed entries get PRUNED from MEMORY.md — that's how it stays under its caps (180 lines / 32 KB / 3000 chars per line).
  • Writing a fact into a second place? reference/doc-governance.md — one SSOT per fact, and when a fact changes you grep its restatements in the same pass. A product or architecture decision goes to the ledger instead — projects/<name>/decisions-log.md, format in reference/decisions-log.md. A plan, a spec, a research finding or a QA record is NOT memory: it belongs in that project's folder, per the map in its README.md.

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.
