Why should I use this skill instead of just stopping my session?

This skill captures the 'why' behind your changes and tracks the current state, ensuring that the next session has the necessary context to continue efficiently without wasting tokens re-learning the task.

Does it automatically commit my work to Git?

Yes, it stages the journal and summary files, creates a detailed commit message with iteration metadata, and adds an annotated tag to mark the specific iteration in your git history.

What happens if the Git integration fails?

The skill handles errors gracefully; it will still save your journal file locally and provide you with the exact bash commands needed to manually commit and tag your work.

Where are the iteration journals stored?

Journals are stored locally within your project repository under an 'autonomy/' directory, organized by specific goals and dates for easy reference.

What is the 'journal-summarizer' mentioned in the process?

Every five iterations, the skill triggers a summarizer to update a high-level summary.md file, providing a birds-eye view of project progress and metrics.

生産性とワークフロー

Automates the conclusion of development iterations by documenting decisions, artifacts, and state changes in a structured journal.

概要

This skill provides a standardized workflow for wrapping up open-ended tasks within Claude Code. It meticulously reviews your session history to extract key decisions, work performed, and encountered blockers, saving them into a persistent journal file. By integrating with Git to commit and tag these progress markers, it ensures continuity across multiple coding sessions, making it easy to pick up exactly where you left off or hand off tasks to other agents or human collaborators.
