SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Full restart orchestration of a Claude session by executing a complete shutdown sequence and signaling a clean reboot for a fresh start.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates the 11-step /shutdown sequence (audit → edges → handoff → externalize) to reset the session.
  • Verifies handoff landed by checking Desktop file, DB content, and central index pointer, then reports final status.
  • Signals completion only after successful verification, preventing forced closure and ensuring safe reboot.

Quick Start

Initiate a full restart by running the /shutdown sequence and signaling the session end to boot a clean next session.

FAQPage Schema
How do I safely shut down and restart a Claude session without losing context?

Session restart is automated by executing an 11-step shutdown sequence that audits edges, verifies handoff across Desktop files and DB content, and signals a clean reboot only after successful validation.

What does a clean session reboot sequence include for interactive workflows?

A clean session reboot orchestrates audit, edge verification, handoff, and externalization steps to fully reset the session, ensuring all context is safely externalized before signaling completion.

How do I verify session handoff before closing an interactive Claude session?

Session handoff verification checks that context landed across three required locations: the Desktop file, DB content, and the central index pointer, reporting final status before allowing closure.

Can I force close a Claude session without running the full shutdown sequence?

Forced closure is prevented by enforcing the full 11-step shutdown sequence, which ensures handoff validation and externalization are complete before signaling a safe reboot preparation.

When do I need to perform a full session shutdown and reboot?

A full session shutdown and reboot is needed when an interactive Claude session requires a fresh start, ensuring all workflow state is externalized and handoff is verified before resetting.

What is the best way to automate session management for clean restarts?

Automating session management for clean restarts is best handled by orchestrating the complete shutdown sequence, validating handoff across required locations, and signaling completion only after successful reboot preparation.
