What happens if I have multiple tasks in one session?

The skill reads your .bonfire/index.md file; if it detects unfinished tasks, it will ask if you want to continue working on those or only archive the completed portion.

Does this skill automatically archive my work?

No, this skill only provides suggestions. You must explicitly run the /bonfire-archive command to move your session data to the archive.

Will it work if I don't use the Bonfire framework?

This skill specifically checks for a .bonfire/ directory. If that directory doesn't exist, the skill will remain inactive to avoid unnecessary prompts.

How does it detect when a task is finished?

The skill listens for triggers like 'merge it' or 'shipped' and uses the GitHub CLI to verify that the associated Pull Request has been successfully merged.

Does this require the GitHub CLI?

Yes, the skill utilizes the 'gh' tool to accurately check the state and metadata of your pull requests before suggesting an archive.

Productivity & Workflow

Monitors development progress and suggests archiving completed sessions to keep AI coding contexts organized and relevant.

About

Bonfire Archive Awareness is a workflow optimization skill designed to manage the lifecycle of AI-assisted coding sessions. By monitoring git activity, GitHub Pull Request statuses, and session notes within the .bonfire directory, it intelligently detects when a task has reached completion. Instead of leaving stale context in the active workspace, the skill proactively suggests running the archive command once a PR is merged or a milestone is reached. This ensures that Claude remains focused on current objectives while maintaining a clean, searchable history of past work.
