record-session
Skill1 starsChanged 7 months agoMITView on GitHub
Records completed work progress to .trellis/workspace/ journal files after human testing and commit. Captures session summaries, commit hashes, and updates developer index files for future session context. Use when a coding session is complete, after the human has committed code, or to persist session knowledge for future AI sessions.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 22
All acceptance criteria met?
- Very specific: line 23
Don't skip archiving just because status still says planning or in_progress
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

[!] Prerequisite: This skill should only be used AFTER the human has tested and committed the code.
Do NOT run git commit directly — the scripts below handle their own commits for .trellis/ metadata. You only need to read git history (git log, git status, git diff) and run the Python scripts.
Record Work Progress
Step 1: Get Context & Check Tasks
python3 ./.trellis/scripts/get_context.py --mode record[!] Archive tasks whose work is actually done — judge by work status, not the status field in task.json:
- Code committed? → Archive it (don't wait for PR)
- All acceptance criteria met? → Archive it
- Don't skip archiving just because

# Method 1: Simple parameters
python3 ./.trellis/scripts/add_session.py \
--title "Session Title" \
--commit "hash1,hash2" \
--summary "Brief summary of what was done"
# Method 2: Pass detailed content via stdin

| New API | Added user authentication endpoint |
| Frontend | Updated login form |

EOFAuto-completes:
- [OK] Appends session to journal-N.md
- [OK] Auto-detects line count, creates new file if >2000 lines
- [OK] Auto-detects Branch context (
--branchoverride; otherwise Branch = task.json -> current git branch; missing values are omitted gracefully) - [OK] Updates index.md (Total Sessions +1, Last Active, line stats, history)
- [OK] Auto-commits .trellis/workspace and .trellis/tasks changes

Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
