/end — Close Session
The/end workflow properly closes an Athena session by reviewing what happened, synthesizing key insights, and committing them to long-term memory.
When to Use
- End of every session
- Before closing your work for the day
- When you want to preserve context for future sessions
- After completing a major task or decision
Behavior
The workflow executes four phases to ensure no insights are lost:Phase 1: Review Session
- Reads all checkpoints from the current session log
- Identifies key decisions and insights made during the session
Phase 2: Synthesize
Fills in structured sections of the session log:- Key Topics - What was discussed or worked on
- Decisions Made - Important choices and their rationale
- Action Items - Next steps or follow-ups
Phase 3: Commit
- Adds the session log to git
- Creates a commit with format: “Session XX: BRIEF_SUMMARY”
- Preserves the session for future reference
Phase 4: Confirm
Outputs: ”✅ Session XX closed and committed.”Usage Example
Best Practices
- Always
/endproperly - Don’t just close the window. Proper session closure commits insights to long-term memory. - Review the synthesis - Check that key decisions are accurately captured.
- Use with
/start- Begin every session with/startand end with/endfor continuity.
