/compress — Save Session

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

1. Resolve vault path:

   VAULT_DIR="${DEUS_VAULT_DIR:-/workspace/vault}"
   [ ! -d "$VAULT_DIR" ] && VAULT_DIR="/workspace/extra/obsidian/Deus"
   

2. Reflect on the conversation — identify what's worth saving:

   • Decisions made, key learnings, files modified, pending tasks, errors/workarounds

3. Determine a short topic slug from the main theme (e.g. google-calendar-setup, ui-debugging).

4. Write the session log:

   $VAULT_DIR/Session-Logs/YYYY-MM-DD-{topic}.md
   

   Use this format — the tldr frontmatter 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 tldr to 2–3 lines max — this is what gets loaded every session. Skip any full section that has no content.

5. Update pending tasks in the vault if there are carry-forward items:

   • Update the pending: block in $VAULT_DIR/CLAUDE.md
   • Write it back

6. Confirm: "Session saved to {filename}. {N} pending tasks carried forward."
