record-session

[!] Prerequisite: This skill should only be used AFTER the human has tested and committed the code.

Do NOT run git commit directly — the scripts below handle their own commits for .trellis/ metadata. You only need to read git history (git log, git status, git diff) and run the Python scripts.

Portability rule: Run all commands from the repository root with repo-relative paths (./.trellis/scripts/...). Never hardcode user names, absolute paths, local home directories, or machine-specific workspace paths. The active developer is resolved from .trellis/.developer; if it is missing, first auto-resolve from TRELLIS_DEVELOPER, git config user.name, git config user.email local-part, or a unique existing .trellis/workspace/<developer>/. Only ask the collaborator for the developer id when those signals still cannot determine one uniquely.

Record Work Progress

Step 1: Get Context & Check Tasks

python3 ./.trellis/scripts/get_context.py --mode record

If this still reports that the developer is not initialized after auto-resolution, ask the collaborator for the developer id, then run:

python3 ./.trellis/scripts/init_developer.py <developer-id>
python3 ./.trellis/scripts/get_context.py --mode record

[!] Archive tasks whose work is actually done — judge by work status, not the status field in task.json:

• Code committed? → Archive it (don't wait for PR)
• All acceptance criteria met? → Archive it
• Don't skip archiving just because status still says planning or in_progress

python3 ./.trellis/scripts/task.py archive <task-name>

Step 2: One-Click Add Session

# Method 1: Simple parameters
python3 ./.trellis/scripts/add_session.py \
  --title "Session Title" \
  --commit "hash1,hash2" \
  --summary "Brief summary of what was done"

# Method 2: Pass detailed content via stdin
cat << 'EOF' | python3 ./.trellis/scripts/add_session.py --stdin --title "Title" --commit "hash"
| Feature | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| New API | Added user authentication endpoint |
| Frontend | Updated login form |

**Updated Files**:
- `packages/api/modules/auth/router.ts`
- `apps/web/modules/auth/components/login-form.tsx`
EOF

Auto-completes:

• [OK] Appends session to journal-N.md
• [OK] Auto-detects line count, creates new file if >2000 lines
• [OK] Auto-detects Branch context (--branch override; otherwise Branch = task.json -> current git branch; missing values are omitted gracefully)
• [OK] Updates index.md (Total Sessions +1, Last Active, line stats, history)
• [OK] Auto-commits .trellis/workspace and .trellis/tasks changes

After running the script, verify with:

git log -1 --oneline
git status --short

Report both the code commit hash and the Trellis record commit hash. If .trellis/workspace or .trellis/tasks still has unstaged/uncommitted changes, report the exact blocker instead of claiming the session was recorded.
