description	Use at the end of a work session to distill what happened back into the .spine/ store so the next session starts informed instead of cold. Updates context and conventions, records decisions as ADRs, and compacts the journal.

remember — close the loop

The Spine is only valuable if it stays current. This skill is the closing ritual that pays that forward.

Review the session. What was decided, built, learned, or reversed?
Update context.md if the architecture map or shared language changed — add new terms, update the module map.
Update conventions.md if a new pattern or command became standard.
Record decisions. For each non-obvious choice with lasting impact, add an ADR in .spine/decisions/NNNN-short-title.md (context, decision, why, consequences) — with labels (area + topic).
Compact journal.md. Collapse the blow-by-blow into: Current focus, Next step, and a short History of dated milestones, each tagged with {labels}. Drop transient noise.
Write a one-paragraph handoff at the top of Current focus so a fresh session — yours or a teammate's — can resume immediately.
Suggest committing the updated .spine/.

Reads: journal.md, context.md, conventions.md (the current Spine, to distill the session into it).
Writes: context.md, conventions.md, journal.md, decisions/.

Record durable knowledge only. The journal is a runway, not a diary.
An ADR captures why, not just what — that's what prevents future regressions.
