A tracker for the lifecycle of development sessions stored under a project’s session directory. It manages session records, the pointer to the current session, statuses, timestamps, and duration.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, load, update, or close development sessions and maintain their metadata.
Why use it?
It keeps session state in one place so other development commands can reliably find and update the active 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-manager 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 9d 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.

Session Manager

This skill is the single source of truth for development session lifecycle management.

When to Use

  • When creating a new development session
  • When loading an existing session (by path or by filtering Status)
  • When updating session metadata (Status, Last Updated, End Time, Duration)
  • When closing a session and clearing .current-session
  • At the start of /init, /run, or /end commands

Responsibilities

  • Create session directory: .claude/dev-sessions/YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM-${slug}/
  • Initialize/update session.md headers (Session Overview section only)
  • Read and update .claude/dev-sessions/.current-session
  • Load existing sessions (with optional Status filtering)
  • Update in session.md:
    • Status: PLANNING, READY, IN_PROGRESS, COMPLETED, PARTIALLY_COMPLETED, FAILED
    • Start Time: When session is created
    • Last Updated: On any modification
    • End Time: When session is closed
    • Duration: Calculated from Start Time to End Time
  • Close session and clear .current-session content (file remains)

MUST NOT

  • Generate context analysis, specification, plan, documentation, or code
  • Modify any source code files
  • Read or write plan.md content (only track its existence)
  • Execute development steps
  • Trigger sub-agents

Process

Creating a New Session

  1. Generate slug from task description (lowercase, hyphens, max 50 chars)

  2. Generate timestamp: YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM

  3. Create directory: .claude/dev-sessions/{timestamp}-{slug}/

  4. Initialize session.md with Session Overview:

    ## Session Overview
    
    **Start Time:** [YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM AM/PM] **Last Updated:** [YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM AM/PM] **Status:** PLANNING **Progress:** 0/0 steps completed **Task:** [task description] **Duration:** **End Time:**
    
  5. Write session path to .claude/dev-sessions/.current-session

Loading an Existing Session

  1. Read .claude/dev-sessions/.current-session
  2. If file contains a valid path:
    • Verify the session directory exists
    • Return the session path
  3. If file is empty or path invalid:
    • Scan .claude/dev-sessions/ for session directories
    • For each directory, read session.md and extract Status
    • Filter by requested status (e.g., READY, PLANNING, IN_PROGRESS)
    • Present filtered list to user for selection
    • Update .current-session with selected path
    • Return the session path

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.
