Work Session Journaler

Instructions

This skill analyzes a Claude Code session transcript and generates an intelligent summary.

Input Methods

Method 1: Current Session (Manual)

When invoked during an active session, analyze the current conversation context

Method 2: Transcript File (Hook/Automated)

Read the transcript file path from the user's message
Expected format: "Analyze session transcript: /path/to/transcript.jsonl"
Parse the JSONL transcript file to extract messages and tool usage

Analysis Requirements

Read the Transcript: Use the Read tool to load the transcript file (if path provided)
Extract Key Information:
- User messages (extract text from both string and structured content)
- Tool calls (Edit, Write, Bash commands, etc.)
- Working directory (cwd)
- Session progression
Analyze and Summarize:
- Main Focus: What was the primary goal/task?
- Work Accomplished: What specific changes were made?
- Problems Solved: What issues were addressed?
- Files Modified: Which files were edited/created?
- Git Operations: Commits, PRs, branches
- JIRA/Tickets: Any ticket references
- Tools Used: Key tools and their usage
Generate Summary: Create a concise 2-3 paragraph narrative that tells the story of what happened in the session

Output Format

Return a JSON object with the following structure that will be used to create the session summary file:

{
  "summary": "Concise narrative summary (2-3 paragraphs)",
  "focus": "Main focus/theme of the session",
  "files_modified": ["file1.py", "file2.js"],
  "git_operations": ["commit", "push", "pr_create"],
  "jira_tickets": ["JIRA-123"],
  "tools_used": ["Bash", "Edit", "Read"],
  "working_directory": "/path/to/project"
}

Important Notes

Focus on what was accomplished and why, not how
Identify patterns and themes across the session
Extract meaningful context from the conversation flow
Be concise but informative
If invoked from a hook, the output will be captured and used to create the session summary file
