session-end

name	session-end
description	End the current rpm session. Three modes — Express (silent, one message), Inline (one message + one follow-up), Phased (four-phase ceremony for complex sessions). Picks the leanest that fits. Commits rpm bookkeeping. Invoke when the user signals wrap-up. Do not auto-run — if you think it's time, propose first and wait for confirmation.

/session-end

End the current work session. Default to the leanest mode that fits: small sessions should be cheap to close, while complicated sessions can still use the full ceremony.

Project Amendments

At the start of every invocation, check whether docs/rpm/skills/session-end.md exists in the consuming project. If it does, read it and apply its contents as additional project-specific instructions for this skill. Amendments may add Prep steps, extra decision surfaces, or extend the handoff cleanup. They cannot remove or override plugin defaults — on conflict, this SKILL.md wins.

• Express — clean wrap-up. One message, no questions.
• Inline — one or two small decision surfaces. One message with inline asks, then one follow-up that applies decisions and hands off.
• Phased — genuine multi-decision complexity. Four numbered phases.

Append (rpm <version>) to the first visible heading, using version= from scan.sh's === plugin === section.

Entry Guard

If this skill was auto-loaded because you inferred the user may be wrapping up, ask once: "You seem ready to wrap up. Want me to run /session-end?" Then wait. If the user explicitly invoked /session-end, start Prep immediately.

Prep

Prep is silent and runs before any visible wrap-up output. It updates rpm bookkeeping without previews or diff approval.

1. Mechanical Scan

The scan below is injected into context. Do not re-run it unless the injected output is unavailable.

!bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scan.sh"

Interpret scan sections compactly: plugin.version supplies the heading suffix; git drives commit and mode selection; instruction files warn only on warn/critical; suppress rpm meta NOT_IMPLEMENTED hits; broken_refs.count > 0, unlisted specs, dangling task deps, migrations, and overridden_skills.count > 0 are actionable; stale pm docs matter only when this session touched related work; create today's log when missing and commits exist; use captured learnings as inputs.

1b. Guidance Alignment

Dispatch the rpm:guidance-aligner subagent in full mode (foreground). Inputs:

• mode=full
• memory_dir=$HOME/.claude/projects/$(printf '%s' "$PWD" | sed 's|/|-|g')/memory
• instructions: existing combination of CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, MEMORY.md at project root, plus every plugin/skills/*/SKILL.md.

Persist the JSON reply to docs/rpm/~rpm-guidance-report.json and also pipe it through bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/next/scripts/contradiction-check.sh" save $(date +%s) so /next reuses the fresh result instead of re-dispatching.

Counts feed the Guidance Surface (see Shared Mechanics). Any CONTRADICTED > 0 or STALE > 0 forces at least Inline mode in Mode Selection.

2. Read And Synthesize

In one parallel tool batch: read docs/rpm/future/tasks.org, docs/rpm/present/status.md, today's past log if it exists, and the native task list.

While reads run, synthesize this conversation for accomplishments, decisions, discoveries, learnings, unfinished work, and user corrections. Deduplicate against existing docs and guidance before promoting a learning.

If docs/rpm/~rpm-session-start says task: (unassigned), replace it with a 5-8 word imperative title derived from the session. Do not ask.

3. Auto-Apply Tracker Updates

Apply obvious tracker updates immediately:

• docs/rpm/past/YYYY-MM-DD.md: create or append Accomplished, Key Discoveries, What Didn't Work, and Next.
• docs/rpm/present/status.md: update only fields that changed. When scan.sh specs_inventory reports unlisted > 0, append a fresh Behavioral spec inventory (YYYY-MM-DD): N specs total line — the inventory self-heals each session instead of drifting until an audit.
• docs/rpm/future/tasks.org: mark completed backlog items DONE, update IN-PROGRESS items, and add clear TODOs with detail files.
• docs/rpm/future/done.org: archive every DONE/CANCELLED heading from tasks.org, newest first under the same parent. Preserve links, property drawers, and CLOSED: notes. Create the archive header if missing.

For completed native candidates, auto-mark confidence >= 80 matches DONE by match.id, surface 40-79 matches as a decision, and ignore match:null. Pending/in-progress natives are handled later.

4. Commit Tracker Updates

Run the tracker commit before selecting the visible mode:

git add docs/rpm/past/$(date +%Y-%m-%d).md docs/rpm/present/status.md docs/rpm/future/tasks.org docs/rpm/future/done.org 2>/dev/null
git diff --cached --quiet || git commit -m "rpm: session end — update past/present/future"

If nothing is staged, continue silently. If commit fails, report it in the visible output and continue.

Mode Selection

After Prep, count decision surfaces: commit, learning, drift, guidance, native cleanup, and backlog ordering.

Use Express only when the post-tracker git tree is clean and every surface is empty.

Use Phased when any complex trigger exists: 3+ untracked files, multiple unrelated commit groups, 5+ learnings, backlog mismatch requiring discussion, 2+ CONTRADICTED guidance items, or 3+ decision surfaces.

Use Inline otherwise. Inline is the default for normal non-clean sessions, and forced whenever the guidance report shows any CONTRADICTED > 0 or STALE > 0.

Shared Mechanics

Commit Surface

Do not use git add .. List intended files explicitly. Resolve untracked files before staging. Follow git log --oneline -10. Inline asks for one draft commit; Phased may split logical commits.

Learning Surface

Read active guidance before proposing a learning. Show only uncaptured learnings as a numbered menu with destinations. Ask once: Which to promote? (e.g. 1,2 / all / none).

Drift Surface

Apply obvious fixes silently and list them. Ask only for ambiguous drift. If fixes land after the tracker commit, add a "Doc-drift fixes" note to today's past log and commit the changed docs.

Overridden skills. Treat every override=<old>→<new> line from scan.sh's overridden_skills section as ambiguous drift — never auto-migrate. For each, surface a one-line recommendation:

Overridden plugin skill: .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md
  → migrate to docs/rpm/skills/<name>.md (additive amendment)

Ask once whether to migrate (move the project-specific delta into the amendment file and delete the override), keep the override (note rationale in the amendment file's body), or defer. Hard overrides silently replace the plugin default and survive plugin updates as forks — flag them every session until resolved.

Guidance Surface

Read docs/rpm/~rpm-guidance-report.json (written in Prep step 1b). Surface only when CONTRADICTED + STALE > 0. Format:

Memory drift: <C> contradicted, <S> stale, <G> gap, <P> partial
  - feedback_xxx.md — CONTRADICTED by CLAUDE.md:42 ("...")
  - feedback_yyy.md — STALE: references removed command /old-name

For each CONTRADICTED entry, ask which side wins: edit the memory rule, edit the conflicting directive, or accept the contradiction (note in the memory body). For STALE entries, ask whether to delete or update the memory rule. GAP and PARTIAL are informational — do not ask unless the user wants to address them.

Cap shown entries at 5; reference the report file for the rest.

Native Cleanup

For every pending/in-progress native task:

printf '%s\n' \
  '{"id":"t1","subject":"...","status":"in_progress"}' \
  | bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/session-end/scripts/score-natives.sh"

For each score result, confidence >= 80 updates an existing TODO to IN-PROGRESS; match:null or < 80 appends a TODO under the sensible parent. Then mark every surfaced native task completed. No user question.

Backlog Reconciliation

After edits, sweep each * Parent in tasks.org into Actionable, Blocked, Postponed bands, preserving relative order. Ask one ordering question only when session work, dependency changes, or user feedback conflicts with the top item. Otherwise use the top actionable entry as What's next.

Handoff Cleanup

Use this cleanup in Express, Inline message 2, and Phased Phase 4:

TASK=$(grep -oP 'task: \K.*' docs/rpm/~rpm-session-start 2>/dev/null | head -1)
SID=$(grep -oP 'session_id: \K.*' docs/rpm/~rpm-session-start 2>/dev/null | head -1)
printf 'task: %s\nended: %s\nnext: %s\n' "${TASK:-unknown}" "$(date -Iseconds)" "{resolved What's next}" > docs/rpm/~rpm-last-session
printf 'session_id: %s\n' "${SID:-unknown}" > docs/rpm/~rpm-session-end
rm -rf docs/rpm/~rpm-session-start docs/rpm/~rpm-compact-state docs/rpm/~rpm-learnings.jsonl docs/rpm/~rpm-native-tasks.jsonl docs/rpm/~rpm-task-candidates.jsonl docs/rpm/~rpm-context.md

Express

One message, then cleanup. Do not continue the conversation after it.

Output: ## Session end (rpm <version>), Accomplished, Tracker updates, What's next, then the two restart lines (/clear, then start a new conversation). Run cleanup in the same response.

Inline

Message 1 contains the summary plus every active ask. Omit empty sections. Keep to at most one question per surface and at most three questions total; otherwise switch to Phased.

Message 1 output: ## Session end (rpm <version>), Accomplished, Tracker updates, then only active sections: Commit, Worth keeping, Drift, Memory drift, Native cleanup, or Backlog. End each active section with one QUESTION: line.

After the user replies, apply decisions, run native cleanup, sweep the backlog, run handoff cleanup, and end with:

Message 2 output: **Handoff**, What's next, the two restart lines.

Phased

Use Phased only for complex sessions. Each visible response starts with the phase header.

1. ## Phase 1 (of 4): Collecting Findings (rpm <version>) — accomplishments, uncommitted changes, learnings, tracker updates, drift.
2. ## Phase 2 (of 4): Housekeeping — commit changes, record findings, fix drift. One question per active section.
3. ## Phase 3 (of 4): Reviewing Tasks — native cleanup, backlog band sweep, ordering reconciliation.
4. ## Phase 4 (of 4): Handing Off — cleanup plus final handoff text.
