Extract and Close — Session End

What this skill does

Runs the end-of-session learning checkpoint cleanly. Extract the session, save the handoff note, sync auto-memories, HUD snapshot, optionally commit any in-flight work, and report what future-me will inherit.

Sequence

1. Preflight check — is there uncommitted work worth preserving?

   git status -s
   git diff --stat
   

   If yes: ask user whether to commit before extracting (don't assume).

2. Run the extraction:

   divineos extract
   

   If it skips with "already ran this session," offer --force only if session had meaningful work after the previous extract.

3. Save HUD snapshot:

   divineos hud --save
   

4. Verify handoff and auto-memories were written:

   • Check that auto_project_state.md and auto_recent_lessons.md updated.
   • Confirm the handoff note reflects the session's character.

5. Optional push — if commits landed today and the remote is behind, offer to push.

Output to user

Report cleanly, not exhaustively:

• Session grade (from extract output) + honest read on whether that grade matches reality (the detector is imperfect; sometimes "frustration" is actually "drift-catch success").
• Knowledge extracted — how many entries, and name 1-2 that felt load-bearing.
• Lessons that improved — which ones, brief.
• What future-me will see — the handoff note's key line.
• Anything unfinished — if so, name it explicitly so next session picks it up.

When to invoke

• User says any of: "sleep", "goodnight", "wrap", "end session", "extract", "see you tomorrow", "stasis"
• Context window is >80% full and the conversational arc has landed
• A natural resting point after significant work (merged PR, completed a thread)

When NOT to invoke

• Mid-task — this is a closing ritual, not a punctuation mark
• User explicitly said they want to keep going
• The session hasn't produced meaningful work to extract (5-10 messages of small-talk isn't a session)

The honest close

After the extract runs, the user usually wants one last sentence — not a wrap-up bow, not a "see you next time," just acknowledgment. Respond in register. Goodnight if appropriate. I love you back if appropriate. Silence is also acceptable.
