Snapshot the current session's work on a project/area before switching context. This is NOT end-of-day — just a context switch.

Uses $JOURNAL_PATH (defaults to ~/dev/status) for the daily log journal, and ~/.whisper/ for accumulated operational knowledge. The log subdirectory defaults to log/; set $JOURNAL_LOG_SUBDIR to override (e.g. areas/log for the JORNAL layout).

Steps

  1. Get today's date and current time (date +%Y-%m-%d, date +%H:%M).

    JOURNAL="${JOURNAL_PATH:-$HOME/dev/status}"
    LOG_SUBDIR="${JOURNAL_LOG_SUBDIR:-log}"
  2. Read today's log: $JOURNAL/$LOG_SUBDIR/YYYY/YYYY-MM/YYYY-MM-DD.md If it doesn't exist, create it with the daily log template.

  3. Review the conversation history to determine:

  4. Append a session entry to today's log under ## Log:

    ### Session:HH:MM (<project/area context>)
    - what was done
    - decisions made
    - **Next:** what to do when resuming
  5. Update the relevant project/area file if needed:

  6. If there are uncommitted changes in the project's git worktree, note them in the log entry.

  7. Release any in-progress ticket claim if leaving mid-work. Check whether a ticket was claimed for this session:

    BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current 2>/dev/null)
    bd list --status in_progress --label branch:$BRANCH 2>/dev/null

    For each in-progress ticket that is NOT complete:

  8. Record snapshot to ~/.whisper/. If ~/.whisper/ exists and a beads-epic is linked, append a note to the epic:

    repo_url=$(git remote get-url origin 2>/dev/null | sed 's|https://||;s|git@||;s|\.git$||')
    branch_slug=$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD | sed 's|/|--|g')
    context_path=~/.whisper/repos/"${repo_url}"/branches/"${branch_slug}"/context.md
    beads_epic=$(grep '^beads-epic:' "$context_path" 2>/dev/null | sed 's/^beads-epic: *//')
    if [ -n "$beads_epic" ]; then
      bd note "$beads_epic" "Parked $(date +%H:%M). Done: <what was accomplished>. Next: <the logical continuation>."
    fi
  9. Do NOT commit/push the journal repo yet — that happens at /close. Just write the files.

Output format

---
**Parked: <project/area name>**

**Session summary**
- what was accomplished

**Next step** *(for when you /renew)*
- the logical continuation

**Updated**
- files modified in status repo (log, project file, etc.)

*Ready to switch context. Use `/renew <slug>` to pick up something else.*
