Start New Session

Initialize a new Claude Code session by checking the date, creating session files, and summarizing current status.

Instructions

Step 1: Check Dates

1. •Read /app/.claude/memory/HISTORY.md to find the last session date
2. •Compare to today's date
3. •List files in /app/.claude/memory/sessions/ to see existing session files

Step 2: Create Session File (if new day)

If today's date differs from the last logged session:

1. •Create a new session file at /app/.claude/memory/sessions/session-history-{DATE}.md using format like session-history-feb02.md

Template:

# Session History - {Full Date}

## Session Start

**Starting state:** [Brief description of where things left off]

**Outstanding items from previous session:**
- [List any incomplete work from HISTORY.md or previous handoff]

---

## Work Log

(Session notes will be added here as work progresses)

Step 3: Update Handoff in PROJECT.md

Update the "Current Session Handoff" section in .claude/PROJECT.md with:

• •Today's date
• •Current status
• •Outstanding work items

Note: If .claude/PROJECT.md doesn't exist, check CLAUDE.md for instructions on creating one.

Step 4: Report to User

Summarize:

• •Session date initialized
• •Current project status (from HISTORY.md)
• •Outstanding/remaining work items
• •Ask what they'd like to work on

Notes

• •If it's the same day as the last session, just report current status without creating new files
• •Keep handoff notes concise - detailed context goes in session-history files
