Save a summary of this conversation to the vault.
The vault is mounted at /workspace/vault/. If it doesn't exist, check /workspace/extra/obsidian/Deus/ as a legacy fallback.
Steps
-
Resolve vault path:
VAULT_DIR="${DEUS_VAULT_DIR:-/workspace/vault}" [ ! -d "$VAULT_DIR" ] && VAULT_DIR="/workspace/extra/obsidian/Deus" -
Reflect on the conversation — identify what's worth saving:
- Decisions made, key learnings, files modified, pending tasks, errors/workarounds
-
Determine a short topic slug from the main theme (e.g.
google-calendar-setup,ui-debugging). -
Write the session log:
$VAULT_DIR/Session-Logs/YYYY-MM-DD-{topic}.mdUse this format — the
tldrfrontmatter field is mandatory; full sections are optional:--- type: session date: YYYY-MM-DD topics: [topic1, topic2] tldr: | What happened (1 sentence). Key decision or outcome. Pending: X, Y. --- <!-- Full details — only loaded on demand --> ## Decisions Made - ... ## Key Learnings - ... ## Files Modified - ... ## Pending Tasks - [ ] ... ## Errors & Workarounds - ...Keep
tldrto 2–3 lines max — this is what gets loaded every session. Skip any full section that has no content. -
Update pending tasks in the vault if there are carry-forward items:
- Update the
pending:block in$VAULT_DIR/CLAUDE.md - Write it back
- Update the
-
Confirm: "Session saved to
{filename}. {N} pending tasks carried forward."
