Session Wrap Up

End-of-session protocol to preserve context and ensure continuity between sessions.

When Triggered

Run this protocol when the user indicates they want to wrap up the current session before starting a new one.

Protocol Steps

Execute these steps in order:

1. Flush to Daily Log

Write to memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md (create if doesn't exist):

  • Key topics discussed in this session
  • Decisions made
  • Commands, configs, or code that worked
  • Problems solved and how they were solved
  • Any gotchas or lessons learned

2. Update Long-Term Memory

If significant learnings occurred, update MEMORY.md:

  • New user preferences discovered
  • Important lessons learned
  • Long-term decisions made
  • Workflow changes

3. Update PARA Notes

Check and update the PARA structure in notes/ (or memory/notes/):

  • Open loops (notes/areas/open-loops.md): Add new unfinished items, mark completed items with ✅
  • Projects (notes/projects/): Update progress on active projects
  • Areas (notes/areas/): Add new ongoing responsibilities
  • Resources (notes/resources/): Add new reference material, how-tos

4. Commit Changes

cd <workspace>
git add -A
git status
git commit -m "wrap-up: YYYY-MM-DD session summary"
git push

Notes:

  • The wrap-up git push is automatic (no confirmation prompt).
  • If git push fails, report the error and leave the commit locally.

5. Report Summary

Provide a brief summary to the user:

  • What was captured
  • Files updated
  • Any items that need follow-up next session
  • Confirmation that changes were committed (and pushed, if successful)

Example Output

## Session Wrap-Up Complete ✅

- Configured PARA second brain

Notes

  • Always create the daily log file if it doesn't exist
  • Use the current date for filenames and commit messages
  • Keep summaries concise but complete
  • Include the ⚡ emoji at the end (GigaBot signature)
