Summarize Session

Purpose

At the end of a productive coding session, analyze the conversation to extract reusable patterns and generate Claude Code artifacts (rules, skills, commands) that can accelerate future work.

Instructions

1. •

   Review Session Activity

   • •What problems were solved?
   • •What code was written or modified?
   • •What workflows were performed?
   • •What decisions were made and why?
2. •

   Identify Patterns

   Rules Candidates (coding standards, project conventions):

   • •Repeated code style corrections
   • •Error patterns that were fixed
   • •Best practices established
   • •Project-specific conventions

   Skills Candidates (multi-step workflows):

   • •Complex operations performed multiple times
   • •Sequences of commands that go together
   • •Integration or deployment workflows
   • •Testing or validation procedures

   Commands Candidates (single-action shortcuts):

   • •Frequently used command combinations
   • •Build/test/deploy shortcuts
   • •Common git operations
   • •Project-specific utilities
3. •

   Generate Artifacts

   For each identified pattern, create the appropriate artifact:

   Rules → .claude/rules/<name>/RULE.md

   markdown

   ---
   name: rule-name
   description: Brief description
   ---
   
   # Rule Name
   
   ## When to Apply
   ...
   
   ## Guidelines
   ...
   

   Skills → .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md

   markdown

   ---
   name: skill-name
   description: Brief description
   ---
   
   # Skill Name
   
   ## Instructions
   1. Step 1
   2. Step 2
   ...
   

   Commands → .claude/commands/<name>.md

   markdown

   # Command Name
   
   Description of what this command does.
   
   ## Steps
   1. ...
   2. ...
   

4. •

   Validate Artifacts

   • •Ensure artifacts are general enough to be reusable
   • •Remove session-specific details
   • •Test that instructions are complete and actionable
5. •

   Document Session Summary

   • •What was accomplished
   • •What artifacts were generated
   • •Recommendations for next session
