Use Trellis channel for live multi-agent collaboration, spawned workers, cross-agent review, progress inspection, forum channels, and channel log debugging.
Understand and customize the local Trellis architecture inside a user project. Use when modifying .trellis plus platform hooks, settings, agents, skills, commands, prompts, workflows, the channel runtime (trellis channel), bundled runtime agents under .trellis/agents/, selectable workflow templates, registry-backed spec refresh, cross-session memory (trellis mem) generated by trellis init, or AI-facing bundled skills (trellis-channel, trellis-session-insight, trellis-spec-bootstrap) and bundled-skill auto-dispatch flow.

Bootstrap project-specific Trellis coding specs with a platform-neutral single-agent workflow. Use when creating or refreshing .trellis/spec guidelines, analyzing a codebase with GitNexus, ABCoder, or source inspection, decomposing package/layer spec work, and writing real codebase-backed spec docs without placeholder text.
Wrap up an active Trellis task: archive it (and any other completed-but-unarchived tasks the user wants to clean up) and record a session journal. Refuses to run if the working tree has uncommitted code changes (those belong in workflow Phase 3.4 first). Use when the user asks to finish / wrap up / call it a day, or invokes $finish-work.

Wrap up the current session: archive the active task (and any other completed-but-unarchived tasks the user wants to clean up) and record the session journal. Code commits are NOT done here — those happen in workflow Phase 3.4 before you invoke this command.
python3 ./.trellis/scripts/get_context.py --mode record
This prints:
--commit.If --mode record surfaces other completed tasks not tied to the current session, surface them to the user with a one-shot confirmation: "These N tasks look done — archive them too in this round? [y/N]". Default is no; the current active task is always archived in Step 3 regardless.
Run:
git status --porcelain
Filter out paths under .trellis/workspace/ and .trellis/tasks/ — those are managed by add_session.py and task.py archive auto-commits and will appear dirty as part of this skill's own work.
For each remaining dirty path, decide whether it belongs to the current task or to other parallel work (e.g., another terminal window editing the same repo). Heuristics:
prd.md / implement.jsonl / check.jsonl → current taskThen route:
Any remaining path looks like current-task work — bail out with:
"Working tree has uncommitted code changes from this task:
<list>. Return to workflow Phase 3.4 to commit them before running ``finish-work(Trellis command)."
Do NOT run git commit here. Do NOT prompt the user to commit. The user goes back to Phase 3.4 and the AI drives the batched commit there.
All remaining paths look unrelated (other parallel-window work) — report them once and continue to Step 3:
"FYI, dirty files outside this task's scope — leaving them for the other window:
<list>."
Genuinely unsure — ask the user once: "Are <list> this task's work I forgot to commit, or another window's? (commit / ignore)" — then route per their answer.
python3 ./.trellis/scripts/task.py archive <task-name>
At minimum: the current active task (if any). Plus any extra tasks the user confirmed in Step 1. Each archive produces a chore(task): archive ... commit via the script's auto-commit.
If there is no active task and the user did not confirm any cleanup archives, skip this step.
python3 ./.trellis/scripts/add_session.py \
--title "Session Title" \
--commit "hash1,hash2" \
--summary "Brief summary"
Use the work-commit hashes produced in Phase 3.4 (visible in Step 1's Recent commits list, or via git log --oneline) for --commit. Do not include the archive commit hashes from Step 3. This produces a chore: record journal commit.
Final git log order: <work commits from 3.4> → chore(task): archive ... (one or more) → chore: record journal.
