session-management

session-management is a skill for Claude Code from conorbronsdon/agent-skills. It costs 27 tokens per session (3,240 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of commands for preserving project state between Claude Code sessions. It records current work, decisions, progress, and next steps in project files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use its start, update, end, and daily check-in commands to resume work, save progress, close a session, and review project status.
Why use it?
Claude Code conversations are temporary, so without saved state each new session may begin without knowing what happened before.

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-management 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.

Session Management for Claude Code

A system of four commands that give Claude Code a memory across sessions. Instead of starting every conversation cold, these skills maintain state files that capture what you're working on, what decisions you've made, and what's next.

Invocation: user-only (disable-model-invocation: true) — session lifecycle is timed by you, and the flag keeps this 300-line skill out of ambient context.

Why This Exists

Claude Code conversations are ephemeral — close the terminal and the context is gone. These skills solve that by:

  • /start loads your project state so Claude knows where you left off
  • /update saves progress mid-session without closing
  • /end captures the session and proposes durable memory updates before you close
  • /today runs a morning check-in that catches staleness, surfaces deadlines, and proposes memory updates

The system compounds over time. Session logs become an episodic record. State files stay fresh. Decisions are logged. Nothing falls through the cracks.

Setup

Required file structure

Create these files in your project root (or wherever makes sense for your workflow):

state/
  current.md          # Active priorities, open threads, recent context
  current-log.md      # History of past "Last Updated" lines, newest first (auto-created)
  decisions.md        # Decision log (date, decision, rationale, rejected alternatives)
  weekly-priorities.md # What matters this week
  blockers.md         # Things waiting on external dependencies
  heartbeat-log.md    # Record of /today check-ins (auto-created)
sessions/
  {YYYY-MM-DD}.md     # Daily session logs (auto-created)

Minimal state/current.md to start

# Current State

Last updated: [date]

## Active Priorities
1. [Your top priority]
2. [Second priority]

## Active Context
- [Open thread or thing you're working on] *(created M/D)*

## Recently Completed
- [Last thing you finished] *(M/D)*

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.
