Session End Summary

Generates a structured session summary when triggered by the SessionEnd hook. Reuses the compacting-context template to produce consistent, synthesis-ready notes.

Hook Configuration

Add to .claude/settings.json:

{
  "hooks": {
    "SessionEnd": [
      {
        "type": "prompt",
        "prompt": "/summarizing-session-end"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Workflow

Gather context -- Review the conversation for what was accomplished, which files were touched, and any unresolved issues.
Generate session ID -- Use the current date and a short identifier (first 8 chars of session UUID if available, or timestamp).
Write summary -- Create ~/.claude/session-summaries/YYYY-MM-DD-<id>.md using the output template below. Create the directory if it does not exist.
Keep it brief -- The summary must be under 50 lines. This is a summary, not a transcript.

Output Template

Write to ~/.claude/session-summaries/YYYY-MM-DD-<id>.md:

# Session Summary -- YYYY-MM-DD

## Trajectory
<!-- Phase reached: research / planning / implementation / review -->
<!-- One-line description of the session arc -->

## Key Files
<!-- Files touched with one-line purpose each -->

## Completed
<!-- Done items, one bullet per item -->

## Blockers
<!-- Blocking issues discovered (empty section if none) -->

## Findings
<!-- Key discoveries, decisions made, learnings -->
