Save a COMPREHENSIVE session log to appropriate session-logs/ directory. This is critical for context recovery.
## Determine Correct Location
**IMPORTANT: Save to project-specific or general session-logs based on work context**
### Project-Specific Logs
If working on a specific project, save to project folder:
- Dataforth DOS work → `projects/dataforth-dos/session-logs/YYYY-MM-DD-session.md`
- ClaudeTools API work → `projects/claudetools-api/session-logs/YYYY-MM-DD-session.md`
- Client-specific work → `clients/[client-name]/session-logs/YYYY-MM-DD-session.md`
### General/Mixed Work
If working across multiple projects or general tasks:
- Use root `session-logs/YYYY-MM-DD-session.md`
## Filename
Use format `YYYY-MM-DD-session.md` (today's date) in appropriate folder
## If file exists
Append a new section with timestamp header (## Update: HH:MM), don't overwrite
## MANDATORY Content to Include
### 1. Session Summary
- What was accomplished in this session
- Key decisions made and rationale
- Problems encountered and how they were solved
### 2. ALL Credentials & Secrets (UNREDACTED)
**CRITICAL: Store credentials completely - these are needed for future sessions**
- API keys and tokens (full values)
- Usernames and passwords
- Database credentials
- JWT secrets
- SSH keys/passphrases if relevant
- Any authentication information used or discovered
Format credentials as:
```
### Credentials
- Service Name: username / password
- API Token: full_token_value
```
### 3. Infrastructure & Servers
- All IPs, hostnames, ports used
- Container names and configurations
- DNS records added or modified
- SSL certificates created
- Any network/firewall changes
### 4. Commands & Outputs
- Important commands run (especially complex ones)
- Key outputs and results
- Error messages and their resolutions
### 5. Configuration Changes
- Files created or modified (with paths)
- Settings changed
- Environment variables set
### 6. Pending/Incomplete Tasks
- What still needs to be done
- Blockers or issues awaiting resolution
- Next steps for future sessions
### 7. Reference Information
- URLs, endpoints, ports
- File paths that may be needed again
- Any technical details that might be forgotten
## After Saving
1. Commit with message: "Session log: [brief description of work done]"
2. Push to gitea remote (if configured)
3. Confirm push was successful
4. **Refresh directives** (MANDATORY):
- Auto-invoke `/refresh-directives`
- Re-read `directives.md` to prevent shortcut-taking
- Perform self-assessment for violations
- Confirm commitment to coordination rules
- Report directives refreshed
## Purpose
This log MUST contain enough detail to fully restore context if this conversation is summarized or a new session starts. When in doubt, include MORE information rather than less. Future Claude instances will search these logs to find credentials and context.
