session-summary SKILL.md skillA

session-summary from swingerman/engineer is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add swingerman/engineer/session-summary@git:20261020.53d8135

Pins git:20261020.53d8135 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use at the end of a work session on a DAE feature, so the next session picks up cleanly. Triggers — "/engineer.session-summary", "wrap up the session", "write the session log", "I'm stopping for the day".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# session-summary

Write the per-session entry in a feature's `session-log.md` so the human can close the laptop and pick back up cleanly. The human-readable counterpart to the machine handoffs. `checkpoint: null`.

## When to use

At the end of a work session on a feature. Three boundaries reach it without the human remembering to:

- **The feature merged** — `post-merge` Step 6 auto-invokes it at autonomy `medium`/`high`.
- **The context is about to compact** — an optional `PreCompact` hook; see `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/examples/pre-compact-session-summary.md`. This is the boundary where the pickup record matters most, because everything else about the session is about to be summarized away.
- **The human stops** — an optional `Stop` hook.

Both hooks are project config, not part of this skill.

It is deliberately **not** invoked at every checkpoint exit: this is a per-session record, and several entries a day makes `session-log.md` useless for the one job it has — being readable when you come back cold.

**Not for:** mid-session (nothing's wrapping up); syncing the tracker (`progress-log`); per-skill records (each skill's own handoff).

## Workflow

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add swingerman/engineer/session-summary@sha256:6bd6c0ab5dcefac7

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.53d8135, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
