Shelve Session
Create a bookmark for the current session so you can return to it later.
This skill wraps the bookmark_shelve MCP tool
(mcp__genesis-memory__bookmark_shelve). The legacy command at
.claude/commands/shelve.md is superseded by this skill (skills take
precedence over commands when names collide).
Arguments
The user may provide optional arguments after /shelve:
/shelve — shelve with no tags
/shelve auth-refactor, critical — shelve with tags "auth-refactor" and "critical"
/shelve auth-refactor | fixing the OAuth flow — tags before |, context note after
Steps
-
Get the full session ID. The Clock context line shows a truncated
session ID (e.g., Session: 802a856e). To get the full UUID, list the
session directories and match the prefix:
ls ~/.genesis/sessions/ | grep "^<prefix>"
If no match is found, tell the user the session context isn't available.
-
Parse arguments. Split on | if present:
- Before
|: comma-separated tags
- After
|: context note (trim whitespace)
- If no
|: treat everything as comma-separated tags
-
Call bookmark_shelve MCP tool (mcp__genesis-memory__bookmark_shelve) with:
session_id: the full UUID from step 1
tags: comma-separated tag string (or empty)
context: the context note (or empty)
-
Confirm. Show the user the bookmark ID and the resume command:
claude --resume <full_session_id>
