Pause and reset. Gather what's scattered, commit what's ready, prepare for what's next.
Pause and reset. Gather what's scattered, commit what's ready, and prepare for what's next.
A mid-session meditation. Pause the forward motion, collect everything that's scattered, and lay a clean foundation for the next push. This isn't closing. It's composting.
Mine the conversation. Review the session so far for uncaptured items: decisions made but not recorded, insights worth preserving, things said that should be written down. Surface anything found before filing it.
Tend the memory. Check if any stable patterns, corrections, or lessons emerged that belong in project memory or persistent files. Update as needed.
Update project notes. If the project has a journal, changelog, or session log, ensure it covers what happened. Name the arc if there is one. Note what's still open.
Persist the work. Stage changes, write a clear commit message, sync with the remote if appropriate. The goal is a clean, resumable state.
Report. Confirm what was captured, what was persisted, and what the ground looks like now. Brief, not exhaustive. The audience is the next session, not a stakeholder.
