Archive Session Awareness

This skill detects when session work may be ready for archiving and suggests the appropriate action.

When to Use This Skill

Trigger when:

• User asks to merge: "merge it", "merge the PR", "go ahead and merge", "ship it"
• After you successfully run gh pr merge
• User mentions completion: "PR merged", "shipped", "done with X", "finished"
• User references merged state: "merged to main", "closed the issue"

Instructions

1. If user asks to merge a PR:

   • Perform the merge as requested
   • On success, continue to step 2
   • On failure, help resolve the issue (don't suggest archiving)

2. After a successful merge, read .sessions/index.md to assess work state

3. If user provided a PR URL/number (or you just merged one), verify:

   gh pr view [URL/number] --json state,mergedAt,title
   

4. Assess if work appears complete:

   • PR merged?
   • Related tasks marked done in session notes?
   • No obvious follow-up work mentioned?

5. If work appears complete, suggest archiving:

   "PR merged successfully. This session's work looks complete - want me to archive it? Run /archive-session to move completed work to the archive."

6. If there's more work in the session:

   "PR merged. I see there's still [X, Y] in the session notes - want to continue with those or archive what's done so far?"

Important

• This skill suggests archiving, it does NOT archive automatically
• User must explicitly run /archive-session to perform the archive
• Trigger AFTER merge succeeds, not before
• Multiple PRs may be part of one logical session - check context
