Session Summary Generator

Overview

This skill creates comprehensive session summaries for complex multi-session work, enabling seamless resumption of tasks. It generates a markdown file in docs/summaries/ with a standardized format.

When to Use

Trigger this skill when:

User explicitly requests a summary ("generate summary", "wrap up", "save progress")
Completing a significant feature or refactor
Conversation context is reaching limits (~50% before auto-compact)
Before starting a new chat session
When collaborating with team members on the same feature

Auto-Suggest Triggers

Proactively suggest generating a summary when:

Multiple files have been modified in the session
A feature implementation is complete
The conversation has been long (many exchanges)
User mentions ending their work session

Output Location

Session summaries are stored in: docs/summaries/YYYY-MM-DD_feature-name.md

Instructions

Step 1: Analyze Current Work

Run these commands to understand what was done:

git status
git diff --stat
git log --oneline -10

Review the conversation history to identify:

What was accomplished
Key decisions made
Files created or modified
Any remaining tasks

Step 2: Generate Summary File

Create the summary using the template in TEMPLATE.md.

Key sections to include:

Overview: Brief description of session focus
Completed Work: Bullet points of accomplishments
Key Files Modified: Table of files and changes
Design Patterns Used: Important architectural decisions
Remaining Tasks: What's left to do
Resume Prompt: Copy-paste instructions for next session

Step 3: Create Resume Prompt

The resume prompt should include:

Context reference to the summary file
Specific file paths to review first
Current status and immediate next steps
Any blockers or decisions that need user input

Example Usage

When user says: "Let's wrap up for today"

Response:

Analyze git changes and conversation history
Create docs/summaries/2025-12-30_enrollment-improvements.md
Provide the resume prompt for the next session
Suggest: "When context gets long, consider starting a new chat with the resume prompt"

Tips

Keep summaries focused on a single feature or area
Include exact file paths for easy navigation
Note any environmental setup needed (database migrations, etc.)
Flag any blocking issues or decisions made
Reference the CLAUDE.md file patterns when applicable
