Complete Workflow Session (/workflow:session:complete)

Mark the currently active workflow session as complete, archive it, and update manifests.

Pre-defined Commands

# Phase 1: Find active session
SESSION_PATH=$(find .workflow/active/ -maxdepth 1 -name "WFS-*" -type d | head -1)
SESSION_ID=$(basename "$SESSION_PATH")

# Phase 3: Move to archive
mkdir -p .workflow/archives/
mv .workflow/active/$SESSION_ID .workflow/archives/$SESSION_ID

# Cleanup marker
rm -f .workflow/archives/$SESSION_ID/.archiving

Key Files to Read

For manifest.json generation, read ONLY these files:

File	Extract
$SESSION_PATH/workflow-session.json	session_id, description, started_at, status
$SESSION_PATH/IMPL_PLAN.md	title (first # heading), description (first paragraph)
$SESSION_PATH/.tasks/*.json	count files
$SESSION_PATH/.summaries/*.md	count files
$SESSION_PATH/.review/dimensions/*.json	count + findings summary (optional)

Execution Flow

Phase 1: Find Session (2 commands)

# 1. Find and extract session
SESSION_PATH=$(find .workflow/active/ -maxdepth 1 -name "WFS-*" -type d | head -1)
SESSION_ID=$(basename "$SESSION_PATH")

# 2. Check/create archiving marker
test -f "$SESSION_PATH/.archiving" && echo "RESUMING" || touch "$SESSION_PATH/.archiving"

Output: SESSION_ID = e.g., WFS-auth-feature

Phase 2: Generate Manifest Entry (Read-only)

Read the key files above, then build this structure:

{
  "session_id": "<from workflow-session.json>",
  "description": "<from workflow-session.json>",
  "archived_at": "<current ISO timestamp>",
  "archive_path": ".workflow/archives/<SESSION_ID>",
  "metrics": {
    "duration_hours": "<(completed_at - started_at) / 3600000>",
    "tasks_completed": "<count .tasks/*.json>",
    "summaries_generated": "<count .summaries/*.md>",
    "review_metrics": {
      "dimensions_analyzed": "<count .review/dimensions/*.json>",
      "total_findings": "<sum from dimension JSONs>"
    }
  },
  "tags": ["<3-5 keywords from IMPL_PLAN.md>"],
  "lessons": {
    "successes": ["<key wins>"],
    "challenges": ["<difficulties>"],
    "watch_patterns": ["<patterns to monitor>"]
  }
}

Lessons Generation: Use gemini with ~/.claude/workflows/cli-templates/prompts/archive/analysis-simple.txt

Phase 3: Atomic Commit (4 commands)

# 1. Create archive directory
mkdir -p .workflow/archives/

# 2. Move session
mv .workflow/active/$SESSION_ID .workflow/archives/$SESSION_ID

# 3. Update manifest.json (Read → Append → Write)
# Read: .workflow/archives/manifest.json (or [])
# Append: archive_entry from Phase 2
# Write: updated JSON

# 4. Remove marker
rm -f .workflow/archives/$SESSION_ID/.archiving

Output:

✓ Session "$SESSION_ID" archived successfully
  Location: .workflow/archives/$SESSION_ID/
  Manifest: Updated with N total sessions

Phase 4: Update project.json (Optional)

Skip if: .workflow/project.json doesn't exist

# Check
test -f .workflow/project.json || echo "SKIP"

If exists, add feature entry:

{
  "id": "<slugified title>",
  "title": "<from IMPL_PLAN.md>",
  "status": "completed",
  "tags": ["<from Phase 2>"],
  "timeline": { "implemented_at": "<date>" },
  "traceability": { "session_id": "<SESSION_ID>", "archive_path": "<path>" }
}

Output:

✓ Feature added to project registry

Error Recovery

Phase	Symptom	Recovery
1	No active session	No active session found
2	Analysis fails	Remove marker: rm $SESSION_PATH/.archiving, retry
3	Move fails	Session safe in active/, fix issue, retry
3	Manifest fails	Session in archives/, manually add entry, remove marker

Quick Reference

Phase 1: find session → create .archiving marker
Phase 2: read key files → build manifest entry (no writes)
Phase 3: mkdir → mv → update manifest.json → rm marker
Phase 4: update project.json features array (optional)
