session-end

session-end

One survey, one preview, one confirmation — then run only the end-of-session passes that actually qualify. This is the orchestrator over three capture skills that used to compete for the wind-down moment (design decisions D3/D4, docs/archive/session-plugin-workflow.md):

Pass	Skill	Captures
Wrap	session-plugin:session-wrap	Loose threads → taskwarrior, optional journal, GitHub issues, upstream issue/PR candidates
Distill	session-plugin:session-distill	Durable learnings → rules, skill updates, justfile recipes, process/methodology (script+recipe or project-local .claude/skills/)
Feedback	feedback-plugin:feedback-session	Notable plugin/skill interactions → GitHub issues on claude-plugins
Taskwarrior sync	(inline, no sub-skill)	Close done tasks, update statuses, add follow-ups; uses stable UUIDs
Blueprint tracker-sync	blueprint-plugin:blueprint-feature-tracker-sync	Drain closed WO-linked tasks from tracker tasks.pending → tasks.completed (--drain-wave)

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when...	Use alternative when...
User winds down ("wrap up", "done for today") and more than one pass may apply	Only loose threads to capture → session-plugin:session-wrap directly
The Stop-hook nudge offered this skill and the user confirmed	Only learnings to codify → session-plugin:session-distill directly
User invokes /session-end	Mid-session single-task close → taskwarrior-plugin:task-done

Execution

Execute this orchestration. Not fully automatic by design: filing GitHub issues and writing a journal are not git restore-able, so the single confirmation gate below is mandatory.

Step 1: Survey once

One shared decision pass — do not let each sub-skill re-survey. Run the shared collector (the same one the wrap/spinup skills and the nudge hook use); it emits detection, git state, PRs, taskwarrior tasks with stable UUIDs, and recent commits in one parallel-safe pass:

bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/session-survey.sh" --with-commits --with-blueprint

Pass --project <name> to override the detected project. Hand the digest to the confirmed passes in Step 4 so they don't re-survey. Plus the conversation: what finished, what's hanging, what was learned, what plugin/skill friction or wins occurred.

For the Distill qualify gate (Step 2), also run the distill collector's coarse summary — the mechanical half of the Distill signal (recipe candidates, hot files, process groupings). It degrades to TRANSCRIPT_AVAILABLE=false when no transcript is reachable, so treat a SKIP as "no mechanical signal, judge conceptually only":

bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/distill-survey.sh" --session-id "${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID}" --summary

Step 2: Qualify each pass

Apply each skill's own signal filter strictly; silently skip passes that don't qualify — offering an empty pass is the drown-in-signals failure mode.

Pass	Qualifies when
Wrap	≥1 genuine loose thread per session-wrap's LOG IT filter
Distill	A durable, generalizable learning emerged AND the repo has a distillable surface (.claude/rules/ or a justfile). Corroborate the mechanical half with the distill collector's --summary (below): RECIPE_CANDIDATE_COUNT / HOT_FILE_COUNT / PROCESS_SIGNAL > 0 means recipes/hot-files/process are worth a pass even if no conceptual rule emerged
Feedback	A plugin/skill behaved notably well or badly — bug, enhancement, or positive worth filing
Taskwarrior sync	TASK_AVAILABLE=true AND OPEN_TASKS ≥ 1 in the Step 1 digest
Blueprint tracker-sync	UNDRAINED_COUNT ≥ 1 in the Step 1 digest's BLUEPRINT section. Non-blueprint / tracker-missing repos auto-disqualify (count is 0) → silent skip. If blueprint-plugin isn't installed, note it and skip (as with Feedback)

Blueprint auto-drain (ADR-0020 level 1): when the qualifying repo's docs/blueprint/manifest.json has automation.autonomy_level ≥ 1 and task_registry["feature-tracker-sync"].auto_run == true, the Blueprint tracker-sync pass is auto-confirmed: leave it out of the Step 3 question, run it in Step 4 order without asking, and report a one-line receipt in Step 5 (Blueprint tracker-sync: drained N WO(s) automatically (auto_run)). All other passes still go through the Step 3 confirmation. Check the gate with:

jq -r 'if ((.automation.autonomy_level // 0) >= 1) and (.task_registry["feature-tracker-sync"].auto_run == true) then "auto" else "ask" end' docs/blueprint/manifest.json 2>/dev/null

If nothing qualifies, say so in one line and end — no preview, no question.

Step 3: One preview, one confirmation

Present a single compact preview: each qualifying pass with a one-line reason and its concrete payload (the wrap items; the distill proposal sketch; the feedback finding; the open taskwarrior items with their UUIDs; for blueprint: Blueprint tracker-sync — N closed WO task(s) not drained from the feature tracker: WO-…). Then one AskUserQuestion (multiSelect) listing the qualifying passes as options, qualifying ones described with their reasons. The user picks any subset; "Other" covers adjustments.

Never end the turn on a freeform "y/n" text question — ending the turn fires Stop hooks mid-confirmation (the race that motivated this orchestrator). AskUserQuestion keeps the turn open.

Step 4: Sequence the confirmed passes

Run in this order, each via the Skill tool (or inline for taskwarrior sync), passing along the Step 1 survey so they don't re-do it:

1. Taskwarrior sync (if confirmed) — run inline before Wrap so Wrap sees the updated queue state. For each open/active task: ask the user (via AskUserQuestion) whether to mark done, update, or leave. Address tasks by stable UUID (task +LATEST uuids after creation; task <uuid> done / task <uuid> modify for existing tasks). Never use volatile numeric IDs — they shift when other tasks complete.

2. session-plugin:session-wrap — closes/annotates/adds tasks so later passes see the final queue state. Any upstream issue/PR candidates it surfaces appear in the Step 3 preview and route per-candidate in Wrap's own Step 4 (track-for-later vs verify-then-file) under this mandatory confirmation gate — filing an upstream issue is not git restore-able, exactly what the gate exists for. A File now candidate always routes through workflow-orchestration-plugin:workflow-verify-before-filing → agent-patterns-plugin:cold-read-gate → file; never blind

3. Blueprint tracker-sync (if confirmed) — runs after passes 1–2 because both mutate the taskwarrior queue and may close more WO-linked tasks after the Step 1 survey. Re-derive the wave inline right before delegating (never reuse the survey's UNDRAINED_WOS as the drain list):

   task bpid.any: status:completed export 2>/dev/null | jq -r --slurpfile t docs/blueprint/feature-tracker.json '([.[] | .bpid // empty] | unique) as $closed | (($t[0].tasks.pending // []) | map(.id)) as $pending | [$closed[] | select(. as $w | $pending | index($w))] | join(",")'
   

   Then invoke /blueprint:blueprint-feature-tracker-sync --drain-wave <list> with no evidence flags — the sync skill sources evidence from taskwarrior annotations itself (its priority order: files → inline → annotation → ask). If the re-derived list is empty, report "already drained" and move on. Cross-plugin: if blueprint-plugin isn't installed, note it and skip

4. session-plugin:session-distill — apply mode per its own flow; the user already confirmed the pass, so skip a second blanket prompt but keep distill's per-category destructive-change prompts

5. feedback-plugin:feedback-session — cross-plugin; if the feedback plugin isn't installed, note it and skip

Step 5: Report

One short block: what each executed pass wrote (tasks touched / closed, files edited, issues filed) and which passes were skipped as not qualifying.

Seam: distill vs feedback

"Discovered a better flag / a skill suggested something subtly wrong" → feedback (issue on claude-plugins). "Found a reusable project pattern, rule, or recipe" → distill (artifact in this repo). When both apply, both run — they write to different places.

Auto-surfacing

A Stop hook (hooks/session-end-nudge.sh) offers this skill at most once per session when the user's own messages carry a wind-down phrase. It is offer-only and stays silent when this skill (or wrap/distill) is already in the transcript. Pre-silence: touch ~/.cache/claude-session-end-nudge/<session_id>.
