End-of-session protocol to preserve context and ensure continuity between sessions.

When Triggered

Run this protocol when the user indicates they want to wrap up the current session before starting a new one.

Protocol Steps

Execute these steps in order:

1. Flush to Daily Log

Write to memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md (create if doesn't exist):

• Key topics discussed in this session
• Decisions made
• Commands, configs, or code that worked
• Problems solved and how they were solved
• Any gotchas or lessons learned

2. Update Long-Term Memory

If significant learnings occurred, update MEMORY.md:

• New user preferences discovered
• Important lessons learned
• Long-term decisions made
• Workflow changes

3. Update PARA Notes

Check and update the PARA structure in notes/ (or memory/notes/):

• Open loops (notes/areas/open-loops.md): Add new unfinished items, mark completed items with ✅
• Projects (notes/projects/): Update progress on active projects
• Areas (notes/areas/): Add new ongoing responsibilities
• Resources (notes/resources/): Add new reference material, how-tos

4. Commit Changes

cd 
git add -A
git status
git commit -m "wrap-up: YYYY-MM-DD session summary"
git push

Notes:

• The wrap-up git push is automatic (no confirmation prompt).
• If git push fails, report the error and leave the commit locally.

5. Report Summary

Provide a brief summary to the user:

• What was captured
• Files updated
• Any items that need follow-up next session
• Confirmation that changes were committed (and pushed, if successful)

Example Output

Notes

• Always create the daily log file if it doesn't exist
• Use the current date for filenames and commit messages
• Keep summaries concise but complete
• Include the ⚡ emoji at the end (GigaBot signature)
