What problem does it solve?

Session end often leaves actions open and lessons undocumented. The debrief skill automates inventorying what was done, closing open items, and recording lessons so the next session starts informed.

Core Features & Use Cases

Inventory: identify what changed this session from git history, commits, and conversation notes.
Close Work: map session outputs to open actions, mark them done, and resolve or route feedback as needed.
State, Memory, and Reporting: update system state, persist changes, and generate a concise debrief report for review.
Lessons and Patterns: capture learnings for memory and surface recurring patterns for audits.

Quick Start

Invoke the debrief workflow to inventory what was done, close matched work, update state, and generate the debrief report.
