Session Manager Skill

Flexible session management for projects using the sessions-workflow-bundle. Use the slash commands for automated workflow, or ask this skill for interactive help.

Session Lifecycle

/session-start          ← load context + memory
  ↓ work on tasks
/session-end            ← write memory + commit

Memory persists in ~/.claude/projects/<project-path>/memory/:

  • sessions.md — append-only log of past sessions
  • MEMORY.md — stable patterns, gotchas, key decisions

Commands

| Command | When to use | |---------|-------------| | /init-project | First time on a project — scaffolds CLAUDE.md with project conventions and session settings | | /session-start | Beginning of every session — loads context and memory | | /session-end | End of every session — writes memory entry and commits |

Teacher Mode

Teacher mode is a CLAUDE.md setting, not a separate command.

In your project's CLAUDE.md, under ## Session Settings:

## Session Settings
- **Teacher Mode**: enabled

When enabled, /session-start responds with 400-600 words — narrating context, explaining patterns, and proposing 2-3 paths forward with trade-offs.

When disabled (default), /session-start responds in ≤200 words with a bullet summary.

To set up CLAUDE.md (including teacher mode): run /init-project.

Use Cases

Understand current state — "What did we work on in the last session?" → This skill reads memory/sessions.md and surfaces recent entries.

Track progress mid-session — "How many files have we changed so far?" → Checks git status and summarizes staged/unstaged changes.

Document insights — "Note this for next session: null values break auth middleware" → Appends a note to the current session's memory entry.

Review project constraints — "What does CLAUDE.md say about architecture?" → Reads CLAUDE.md and extracts key patterns and rules.

Best Practices

Do:

  • Run /session-start at the start of every session
  • Run /session-end at the end — it writes memory and commits
  • Run /init-project once per project to scaffold CLAUDE.md

Don't:

  • Write exhaustive summaries — 100 words per session entry is enough
  • Skip /session-start — you'll miss memory from previous sessions
  • Mix unrelated work in one session — hard to summarize accurately

Integration

Works with any project and any other bundle. Sessions build project memory over time, so every /session-start gets better as the project evolves.
