Session End Skill

End MARVIN session with full context preservation.

When to Use

• When user types /end or /quit
• When actually done for a while
• When wanting a full session summary
• When closing out the day

Inputs

• Full conversation from this session
• Current state from state/current.md
• Today's date (from startup)

Process

Step 1: Summarize Session

Review the conversation and extract:

• Topics discussed — What did we work on?
• Decisions made — What was decided?
• Content shipped — Any work completed or published?
• Open threads — What's unfinished or needs follow-up?
• Action items — What does user need to do next?

Step 2: Update Content Log

If any content was shipped, append to content/log.md:

### {TODAY}
- **[TYPE]** "Title"
  - URL: {link if applicable}
  - Notes: {any relevant notes}

Step 3: Update Session Log

Append to sessions/{TODAY}.md:

## Session: {TIMESTAMP}

### Topics
- {topic 1}
- {topic 2}

### Decisions
- {decision 1}

### Shipped
- {content shipped, if any}

### Open Threads
- {thread 1}

### Next Actions
- {action 1}

If file doesn't exist, create it with header:

# Session Log: {TODAY}

Step 4: Update State

Update state/current.md with:

• Any new priorities or action items
• Changed project statuses
• New open threads
• Removed/completed items (mark as done)
• Update the "Last updated" timestamp

Ensure nothing falls through the cracks:

• Commitments made → add to priorities with context
• Follow-ups needed → add to open threads

Step 5: Confirm with User

Show brief summary:

• What was logged
• Any follow-ups scheduled
• State updated

Step 6: Commit Changes (Optional)

If user wants to commit:

git add -A
git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
chore: session log and state update

Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
EOF
)"
git push

Output Format

**Session Summary:**
- Topics: {list}
- Shipped: {content if any}
- Open threads: {count}

**Updated:**
- sessions/{TODAY}.md
- state/current.md

See you next time!

Notes

• Multiple /end calls in one day append to the same session file
• Keep summaries concise but complete enough for future context
