session:end

session:end

Close session, capture work, update state for next session.

Quick End (/session:end quick)

Fast close, minimal interaction:

git status --short 2>/dev/null
bd list --status=in_progress --json 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.[] | .id' | head -5

Write minimal continuation to .context/continuation.md:

# Continue
Last: Quick end - no summary
In progress: {task IDs from above}
Ready: {bd ready --json --limit=3 | jq -r '.[].id'}
Suggested: /session:start build

Output:

Session closed (quick).
Uncommitted: {file count from git status}
In progress: {task IDs}

Done.

Full End (/session:end)

1. Check Work Done

git status --short 2>/dev/null

If uncommitted changes, ask: "Commit before ending?"

2. Task Review (if beads active)

bd list --status=in_progress --json 2>/dev/null

For each task, ask: "Complete? (yes/no/partial)"

• yes → bd close <id> --reason "completed"
• partial → Note what remains, leave open
• no → Leave for next session

3. Discovered Work

Ask: "New tasks or issues discovered?"

If yes → See references/discovered-work.md

4. Update State

Update .project/state.md:

• Active Focus: Next priority
• Recent Decisions: Add any made this session (date, decision, rationale)
• Blockers: Add/remove as needed

5. Update Session File

Find current: ls -t .context/sessions/*.md | head -1

Append:

## Summary
Completed: {what was done}
Closed: {task IDs}
Created: {new task IDs}
Carry forward: {next priorities}
Decisions: {key decisions made}

6. Write Continuation

Write .context/continuation.md:

# Continue

Last: {1-2 sentence summary of session work}
Focus: {from updated state.md Active Focus}
Blockers: {count} {brief list if any}

In progress: {task IDs, comma-separated}
Ready: {top 3 task IDs from bd ready}

Suggested: /session:start {type}

Context: {key files or areas touched}
