A session-memory system for recording learnings, open questions, and next actions from coding-agent conversations in project files. It can connect recorded sessions to tracked issues.

Use it to start a session, save discoveries and unresolved questions, review previous work, and track follow-up actions across conversations.

It helps carry useful context from one conversation to the next instead of relying on memory or repeating earlier investigation.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00034	$0.01752
Opus 5.5	$0.00014	$0.00701
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00007	$0.00350
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00175

Security

Grade A, and why

sessions 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 2mo 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 — 236 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Sessions Skill

Personal session memory for AI agent conversations. Captures learnings, open questions, and next actions across sessions.

Installation required: Install the skill-issues package for CLI tools:

uv tool install skill-issues

Dependency: This skill optionally references the issues skill via the issues_worked field. The dependency is one-way: sessions can reference issues, but issues never reference sessions.

Data Location

Sessions are stored in .sessions/events-{prefix}.jsonl (project root) - one JSON object per line, append-only. Each user writes to their own file (e.g., events-dp.jsonl), enabling conflict-free multi-user git workflows. Reading aggregates from all user files.

User Prefix

Session IDs include a user prefix (e.g., dp-s001) to enable multi-user collaboration. The prefix is resolved in order:

SKILL_ISSUES_PREFIX environment variable
git config skill-issues.prefix
Derived from git config user.name (first + last initials)
Fallback: xx

Configure once per machine:

git config --global skill-issues.prefix "dp"

On first use with a derived prefix, you'll see a hint about configuration.

Note: Sessions are filtered by user by default. Use --user all to see all users' sessions.

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.
