To save your git session context before stepping away, pause-session writes a .development/next.md file capturing what was done, current state, and next steps. It also stages and commits the snapshot with a one-line summary.
The best way to capture uncommitted changes and blockers when ending a development session is generating a next.md snapshot. This file records your current branch state, open PRs, external blockers, and a ready-to-paste starter prompt for resuming.
You can create a ready-to-paste starter prompt to resume a Claude session by running pause-session, which automatically generates the prompt inside the .development/next.md file alongside your project's current state and next actions.
Yes, the pause-session workflow stages and commits the context file directly to your git history. It uses a one-line commit summary to keep the version history concise while preserving the session snapshot.
A development session snapshot should include what was done, current branch and uncommitted changes, open PRs or MRs, the next concrete action, external blockers, and a starter prompt. This reduces re-discovery overhead when you return.
pause-session is designed for git workflows and commits the generated next.md file with a one-line summary. While the context capture mechanism may apply broadly, the staging and commit steps require a git repository to function properly.
