Save the state of the current session into the attic before context is lost: the current plan, open questions, in-progress work, and any finding not yet stashed. Use right before /compact or /clear, at the end of a session, or when the user says "save state", "wrap up", "before compact", "checkpoint", "context is getting long", "summarise what we've done so far", "where are we", or "recap the session". A request to recap session progress IS a sweep: give the recap and persist it in the same…
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
# Sweep the session into the attic
Goal: after this runs, a fresh session that reads only `.attic/INDEX.md`
could continue the work.
Pipeline:
1. **Collect.** Review the conversation for anything not yet stashed:
findings, decisions and why, the current plan and what is done, open
questions, and in-progress state (files being edited, failing tests,
commands to rerun).
2. **Dedupe.** Run the index and drop anything already covered. Append to an
existing item where there is genuinely new detail.
```bash
node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../attic/scripts/attic.js" index
```
3. **Write.** One stash per finding or decision, following `/attic-stash`.
Then one session item, using `templates/session.md` as the shape:
```bash
node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../attic/scripts/attic.js" stash \
--slug session-$(date +%F) --kind plan --title "Session $(date +%F)" \
--hook "<what this session is doing, one line>" --body-file <tmpfile>
```
4. **Verify.**
```bash
node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../attic/scripts/attic.js" validate
```
Fix anything it reports before finishing.
5. **Report.** List the handles written, one per line, then a single line:
"Safe to /compact."

How to install
mdr add nishikantaray/attic/attic-sweep@sha256:1ebebb326d92cbe0The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.6.1, 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.
