- # /dept-save-state — RENAMED
+ # dept-save-state
- This skill has been renamed to `/dept-wrap`.
+ Persists department state at end of session. Writes `dept-state.md` and `member-roster.md`. Called by Dept Heads before stopping.
- Use `/dept-wrap` instead. It is identical in function and pairs semantically with
- `/dept-resume` (session start) and `/dept-status` (read-only check).
+ ## Usage
- See `skills/dept-wrap/SKILL.md` for the full implementation.
+ ```
+ /dept-save-state [dept-slug]
+ /dept-save-state content-creation
+ /dept-save-state all
+ ```
+
+ ## What It Writes
+
+ ### dept-state.md
+ Path: `~/.agency/agents/{dept}/state/dept-state.md`
+
+ Key:value format, max 20 lines:
+ ```
+ dept: {dept-name}
+ head: {head-agent-name}
+ last-updated: {YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM}
+ active-coords: [DC names] | none
+ active-pipelines: [pipeline names] | none
+ open-issues: [issue slugs] | none
+ blocked-on: [description or "none"]
+ current-priority: {top D1 initiative or "none"}
+ incoming-count: {n} | 0
+ notes: {freeform, max 2 lines}
+ ```
+
+ ### member-roster.md
+ Path: `~/.agency/agents/{dept}/state/member-roster.md`
+
+ Per-member status:
+ ```
+ | Member | Role | Status | Current Project | Utilization |
+ |---|---|---|---|---|
+ | {name} | {role} | available | none | 0% |
+ ```
+
+ ### Session Log
+ Appends to: `~/.agency/agents/{dept}/memory/sessions/YYYY-MM-DD.md`
+
+ ### Decisions
+ Appends any new decisions to: `~/.agency/agents/{dept}/memory/decisions.md`
+
+ ## Steps
+
+ 1. Read current `dept-state.md` (if exists) as baseline
+ 2. Collect from Dept Head session:
+ - Active DC names and D3 track states
+ - Active pipelines
+ - Open issues and blockers
+ - Current priority
+ - Any new decisions made this session
+ 3. Write updated `dept-state.md`
+ 4. Write updated `member-roster.md`
+ 5. Append session log entry
+ 6. Append any new decisions to `decisions.md`
+ 7. Output confirmation
+
+ ## Output
+
+ ```
+ dept-save-state done — {dept}
+ Coords: {n active or "none"}
+ Open issues: {n or "none"}
+ Next priority: {current-priority}
+ State written: ~/.agency/agents/{dept}/state/dept-state.md
+ ```
+
+ ## Notes
+
+ - Never rewrite history — append to session logs and decisions only
+ - If `active-coords` field lists any DCs, the Dept Head must confirm their last-known state before saving
+ - Incoming tasks that are still pending: keep `incoming-count` accurate so the next session boots with the right picture
+
