Session Manager

Manage work sessions that persist context across conversation resets.

When to Use This Skill

Proactively invoke when user:

• Asks about current work context
• Switches branches and needs session context
• Wants to create or update a session
• Is resuming work or asking "what's next?"

Context Files (Auto-Injected)

• sessions.yml: Rules for session workflow (BLOCKING requirements)
• sessions.md: Detailed examples and patterns

Read these files for complete guidance. This skill provides quick reference only.

Quick Reference

Check Session Status

git branch --show-current
# Sanitize: replace / with -
# Read: .claude/branches/<sanitized>
# Read: .claude/sessions/<session>.md → focus on Next Steps

Create Session

Use /memento:session create command.

Update Session

Edit session file directly. Update triggers:

• Beginning work
• After milestone
• Before pause
• Before commit (atomic with code)

Key Rules (from sessions.yml)

1. Never guess current branch — always git branch --show-current
2. Session = Branch = Issue (1:1:1 mapping)
3. Atomic commits — session + code together
4. BLOCKING: No source edits without active session

What This Skill Does NOT Do

• Define session file format (see sessions.md)
• Define workflow patterns (see sessions.yml)
• Handle git operations (see git.yml/git.md via onus)
