Wrap Session

Close current session cleanly. Chat is draft. Disk is truth.

/wrap-session means: inspect session residue, propose durable actions, wait for owner approval, execute only approved actions, then write receipt.

Use

Use before leaving session with code, decisions, documents, operational changes, or unfinished work another session must resume.

Skip chitchat with nothing durable.

Receipt

One receipt per session:

~/.local/state/session-wrap/<session_id>.md

Use harness session ID when available. Otherwise generate local-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS-<cwdslug>.

Receipt front matter must contain:

• session_id
• harness: active harness name, or other
• source: active session surface, or other
• cwd: absolute path
• project: nearest Git root name, nearest directory name, or (root)
• wrapped_at: ISO-8601 timestamp
• next: one first action

Body headings: Done, Decisions, Written, Git, Deferred, Next.

A receipt means clean close. Unfinished work is deferred, never an open receipt. Re-wrap same session ID overwrites old receipt.

Procedure

1. Inspect

Collect session ID, source, absolute current directory, project label, and—when inside a Git worktree—git status --short --branch.

Completion: every receipt field has a truthful value.

2. Draft Wrap Plan

Do not write yet. Show:

WRAP PLAN
project: ...
cwd: ...

Done:
- outcome + evidence path, commit, or URL

Decisions to persist:
1. decision → proposed path, or skip

Deferred work:
- item → proposed backlog, ticket, or document home

Git:
- clean, or dirty and intentional
- proposed commit message, if needed
- push: no by default

Memory:
- stable fact, or none

Next session starts with:
- one action

Point to existing artifacts. Do not copy whole chat into a document. Put every unfinished item in a real home or explicitly mark it skipped.

3. Owner gate

Ask owner to approve or edit:

1. Decisions, Deferred, and Memory writes
2. Git action: leave, commit, or commit+push
3. Plan edits

Accept all, selected numbers, free-text edits, or cancel.

On cancel: write nothing and report cancellation.

4. Execute approved actions

Run only approved writes and Git actions. Verify each external effect before claiming success. Report failures as failures.

5. Write receipt

Create parent directory when missing. Write:

---
session_id: <id>
harness: <harness>
source: <session surface|other>
cwd: <absolute path>
project: <project>
wrapped_at: <ISO-8601>
next: <one action>
---

# Wrap Session · <project>

## Done
- ...

## Decisions
- ...

## Written
- path — what, or (none)

## Git
- ...

## Deferred
- item → home, or (none)

## Next
- ...

Completion: receipt file exists at expected path.

6. Confirm

Reply with receipt path, files or Git changes made, deferred work and its home, and Next line. Stop.

Optional status report

Run companion detector when available:

bin/wrap-status.sh
bin/wrap-status.sh init

It reads Hermes state.db plus receipts. init is explicit and creates only receipt directory plus rollout baseline. Without Hermes state database, it reports receipts and exits successfully.
