Update Session Context

Update your session with current branch, commit, and work metadata.

What It Does

1. •Detects current git branch and commit
2. •Updates session with current work context via crane_context
3. •Refreshes heartbeat (keeps session alive)
4. •Provides visibility: "Agent X is on branch Y working on issue #123"

When to Use

• •Started working on a new issue
• •Switched branches
• •Made significant progress (checkpoint)
• •Want to update team visibility

Execution

1. Detect Context

Get the current git branch and short commit SHA:

git branch --show-current
git rev-parse --short HEAD

2. Check for Arguments

If an issue number was provided (e.g., $ARGUMENTS contains a number), include it as metadata.

3. Report Status

Call crane_context MCP tool to verify session, then display:

Session updated.
Branch: {branch}
Commit: {commit}
Issue: #{issue_number} (if provided)
Your session context is now visible to other agents.

Notes

• •Auto-detects git branch and commit
• •Requires active session (run sod first)
• •Refreshes heartbeat (prevents timeout)
• •Safe to call frequently
