End Session

Git root: !git rev-parse --show-toplevel

Step 1: Review Session Work

Review what was accomplished this session by examining:

• Recent git commits
• Files changed
• Conversation context

Step 2: Update Session Context

Update <git-root>/.bonfire/index.md:

1. Update the session entry with:

   • Accomplished: List what was completed
   • Decisions: Key decisions made and rationale
   • Files Modified: Important files changed (if relevant)
   • Blockers: Any issues encountered

2. Update “Next Session Priorities” based on remaining work

3. Update “Current State” to reflect new status

Step 3: Update Codemap

Update the “Codemap” section in index.md with files referenced this session:

1. Identify key files from this session:

   • Files you read or edited
   • Files mentioned in commits
   • Files central to the work done

2. Update “This Session’s Key Files”:

   • List up to 10 most relevant files
   • Include brief description of what each does
   • Format: - \path/to/file.ts` – Brief description`

3. Preserve user-curated sections:

   • Keep “Entry Points” as-is (user maintains these)
   • Keep “Core Components” as-is (user maintains these)

4. Keep it concise:

   • Only include files directly relevant to session work
   • Remove stale entries from previous sessions
   • Max 10 files in “This Session’s Key Files”

Step 4: Sync to Tasks

Sync “Next Session Priorities” to the Tasks system for cross-session persistence:

1. Convert priorities to tasks:

   • Each priority in index.md becomes a task
   • Preserve task descriptions and context
   • Mark completed items as done

2. Task list continuity:

   • Tasks persist automatically across sessions
   • New session will see these without needing to read index.md
   • index.md provides the “why”, Tasks provide the “what”

3. Keep in sync:

   • If priority was completed this session, mark task done
   • If new priority emerged, add as new task
   • Don’t duplicate existing tasks

Step 5: Commit Changes (if tracked)

Read <git-root>/.bonfire/config.json to check gitStrategy.

If gitStrategy is “ignore-all”: Skip committing – nothing is tracked.

If gitStrategy is “hybrid” or “commit-all”:

1. Stage unignored files: git add .bonfire/
2. Check if anything was staged: git diff --cached --quiet .bonfire/
3. If changes staged, commit: git commit -m "docs: update session context"

Step 6: Context Health Check

Run garbage detection and offer actionable cleanup.

6.1 Detect Issues

Scan .bonfire/ for:

• Broken file references: Internal links to non-existent files
• Stale external links: PRs/issues closed > 30 days ago
• Orphaned specs: Unreferenced specs older than 7 days
• Archive integrity: Broken links to archived sessions

6.2 Build Smart Summaries

For each issue, extract context (title, age, related PR status).

6.3 Assign Confidence Levels

• HIGH: Spec mentions merged PR, file > 90 days unreferenced, broken link
• MEDIUM: 30-90 days unreferenced, stale link > 60 days
• LOW: < 30 days, no signals

6.4 Offer Cleanup

Prompt for each category with context. Delete/remove based on user choice.

Step 7: Smart Archive Detection

Detect if session work is ready for archiving.

7.1 Check PR Status

If session context references PRs (#[0-9]+ or github.com/.*/pull/[0-9]+):

gh pr view [NUMBER] --json state,mergedAt,title

Track which PRs are merged vs open.

7.2 Check Task Completion

Review task list:

• All tasks completed? → completion signal
• Some tasks pending? → note for summary

7.3 Check Conversation Signals

Scan conversation for completion language:

• “done”, “shipped”, “complete”, “finished”
• “merged”, “closed”, “resolved”
• “ready to archive”

7.4 Determine Action

Auto-archive (proceed without asking) if ANY:

• All referenced PRs are merged
• User explicitly said completion words in this session
• All tasks marked complete

Prompt with summary if:

• Mixed state (some PRs merged, some open)
• No clear signals detected
• Session has substantial content but unclear if complete

Skip archive if:

• No session content to archive (empty Recent Sessions)
• Work explicitly ongoing (“WIP”, “still working on”, “not done yet”)

7.5 Prompt Format (when needed)

Show what would be archived:

SESSION COMPLETE?

This session's work:
- PR #30: "Add garbage detection" (merged ✓)
- PR #31: "Actionable cleanup" (merged ✓)
- Spec: context-garbage-detection.md (implemented)

Archive this session? [Y/n]

For partial completion:

PARTIAL COMPLETION

Completed:
- PR #30: "Add garbage detection" (merged ✓)

Still open:
- PR #31: "Actionable cleanup" (open)

Archive completed work? The open PR will stay in session.
[Y/n]

Step 8: Archive (if triggered)

If Step 7 determined archiving should happen:

8.1 Create Archive Entry

Create file: .bonfire/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>.md

Template:

# [TOPIC]

**Date**: [DATE]
**Issue**: [ISSUE-ID or N/A]
**PR**: [PR links]
**Status**: Completed

---

## Summary

[Brief description of what was accomplished]

## Accomplished

- [List of completed items]

## Decisions Made

- [Key decisions and rationale]

## Impact

- Files changed: [count]

## Related

- [Links to specs, docs, or code]

8.2 Clean Up Index

Update .bonfire/index.md:

• Remove archived session from Recent Sessions
• Add link to Archived Sessions section
• Update Current State
• If partial archive, keep open work in Recent Sessions

8.3 Clean Up Specs

Check specsLocation for implemented specs:

• If spec was fully implemented and archived, delete it
• Archive has the record

8.4 Update Linear (if enabled)

Read linearEnabled from config. If true and session references Linear issue:

linear issue update ENG-123 --state "Done"

On failure, warn but continue.

8.5 Commit Archive (if tracked)

If gitStrategy is “hybrid” or “commit-all”:

git add .bonfire/ && git commit -m "docs: archive completed session"

8.6 Archive Summary

ARCHIVED:
- Session: "Context Garbage Detection"
- PRs: #30, #31 (merged)
- Deleted spec: context-garbage-detection.md
- Added to: archive/2026-01-26-context-garbage-detection.md

Step 9: Confirm

Summarize:

• What was documented
• Tasks synced for next session
• Next priorities
• What was archived (if anything)

SESSION ENDED

✓ Context updated
✓ Tasks synced
✓ Health check passed
✓ Archived: "Context Garbage Detection"

Ready for next session. Run /bonfire-start to continue.
