close-session

close-session is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from DorianSchlede/nexus-template. It costs 15 tokens per session (1,303 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A session-closing workflow that saves progress, updates stored context, checks workspace navigation, and creates a session report.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after work to update build progress, record learnings, clean temporary files, and summarize the session.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of losing decisions, incomplete work, or inaccurate workspace information when a session ends.

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.

Close Session

Save progress, update memory, regenerate navigation, and ensure system integrity.

Purpose

The close-session skill is the most critical system skill. It ensures nothing is ever lost by:

  • Reading and updating build progress from steps.md checkboxes
  • Validating workspace-map.md accuracy (auto-detect mismatches)
  • Updating memory with decisions and patterns
  • Cleaning temporary files from root folder
  • Creating historical session reports
  • Displaying comprehensive summary

CRITICAL: This skill is AUTO-TRIGGERED by all other skills and builds (not user-dependent!).


Execution Sequence

  1. Initialize TodoWrite with all 10 steps (MANDATORY - prevents skipped steps)
  2. Load workflow.md
  3. Execute steps 1-10 sequentially
  4. Mark each step complete in TodoWrite as you finish it

Critical Rules

  1. TodoWrite is MANDATORY: Initialize at start with all 10 steps - prevents forgetting critical steps
  2. PLANNING phase builds: Skip task completion (Step 2/2.5)
  3. IN_PROGRESS phase builds: Auto-complete if execution signals detected
  4. Session reports: Create in 01-memory/session-reports/
  5. Summary display: ≤5 lines per orchestrator.md rule

Key Features

Automatic & Interactive Task Completion

Smart task completion with automatic detection:

  • Automatic Bulk Complete: If build work completed this session, auto-marks all tasks
  • Manual Bulk Option: If auto-detect missed it, offers bulk-complete during review
  • Interactive Review: Shows first 10 unchecked tasks for manual selection
  • User selects by number ("1, 3, 5"), "all", "bulk complete", or "none"
  • Updates tasks.md automatically (via Edit tool or bulk-complete script)
  • Recalculates progress after any changes

Temp File Cleanup

Interactive cleanup with user choices:

  • Scans root folder for temp files
  • Asks what to do with each: keep, delete, or skip
  • Moves preserved files to build outputs/
  • Reports cleanup summary

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.
