name: close-loop description: End-of-session workflow for shipping changes, consolidating memory, applying self-improvements, and preparing publishable outputs with safety gates. license: MIT metadata: version: 2.1.1 category: session-memory

Close Loop

Use this skill when the user says "wrap up", "close session", "end session", "close out this task", or invokes /wrap-up.

Run four phases in order and return one consolidated inline report.

Modular structure

This skill is split into components for maintainability:

1. components/01-design-principles.md
2. components/02-phase-1-ship-state.md
3. components/03-phase-2-memory.md
4. components/04-phase-3-4-and-output.md

Follow these components in order.

Quick run order

1. Apply execution policy and action gates (01-design-principles.md)
2. Execute Ship State (02-phase-1-ship-state.md)
3. Consolidate Memory (03-phase-2-memory.md)
4. Run improvements + publish queue + output contract (04-phase-3-4-and-output.md)

Required output

Return:

• Artifact A: human-readable report sections exactly as defined in component 04
• Artifact B: machine-readable JSON block exactly as defined in component 04
