Examples

Create handoff summary
Create a handoff summary of this session, including recent changes, files modified, and pipeline status.
Prepare session report
Prepare a session report summarizing the last 7 days of work from the Git log.

Prepare a co-author or future-session summary. Review: (1) Git log since the last handoff (or last 7 days if no prior handoff). (2) Any files modified recently. (3) Current pipeline status (run /status internally). Produce a plain-language summary covering: what changed, what outputs were regenerated, what to review, open questions. Write to session_logs/YYYY-MM-DD_handoff.md (create session_logs/ if needed).
