/sync
Fast save-point: sync all session-context files and MEMORY.md with current progress. Zero questions, zero delay. Use when user says /sync, save progress, save state, sync context, or /sync --full for capability inventory.

Sync
> Zero questions. Edit files. Print summary. Done.
Rules
1. **No questions** — never ask the user anything. Just save. 2. **No subagents** — run entirely in the main thread. 3. **No MCP tools** — direct file reads and edits only (faster). 4. **No narration** — don't announce steps. Just do them. 5. **Touch every file** — even if only adding a timestamp entry. 6. **Speed over perfection** — a rough sync beats no sync.

Execute
Use the current time formatted as `HH:MM DD/MM/YY` for the checkpoint header.
1. Edit `session-context/CLAUDE-activeContext.md`
Append a new section at the end:
## [SYNC] {time}
**Accomplished:**
- {bullet list of what was done this session}
**In progress:**
- {what's currently being worked on}
**Next steps:**
- {what comes next}
**Blockers:**
- {any blockers, or "None"}2. Edit `session-context/CLAUDE-decisions.md`
Append new decisions made this session. If none, append:
## {time}
No new decisions this session.3. Edit `session-context/CLAUDE-patterns.md`
Append new patterns discovered. If none, append:
## {time}
No new patterns this session.4. Edit `session-context/CLAUDE-troubleshooting.md`
Append new issues and solutions. If none, append:
## {time}
No new issues this session.5. Update MEMORY.md
Update the auto-memory file at the project memory path with any new learnings from this session. If nothing new, skip this file (memory should stay concise).
6. Print summary
Print exactly one block:
Synced. {N} files updated.
- Active context: {1-line summary of what was captured}
- Decisions: {count new or "no new"}
- Patterns: {count new or "no new"}
- Troubleshooting: {count new or "no new"}
- Memory: {updated or "no changes"}---
/sync --full (Capability Inventory)
> Extended sync that includes capability inventory generation.
Execute
1. Run standard sync flow (Steps 1-5 above). 2. Call `session_capability_inventory(project_dir, force_refresh=True)` — bypasses cache and regenerates inventory even if git unchanged. 3. If `needs_generation == True`: the MCP tool will generate the inventory. 4. Read `CLAUDE-capability-inventory.md` if it exists.
Print summary
Print the standard sync block above, plus:
Capability Inventory: {status}
- MCP Tools: {count}
- Test Coverage: {percentage}
- Critical Untested: {count}
- Inventory: {path}Read more

Universal test specification generator that explores codebases, researches best practices, and generates comprehensive test specs via multi-agent orchestration. Outputs Hermes-style test specification documents with TC-XXX formatting, area segmentation, and optional Trello card
Open skill - /start
Session initialization and lifecycle management: bootstraps session context, organizes files, generates CLAUDE.md, manages soul purpose lifecycle with completion protocol and active context harvesting. Use when user says /start, /init, bootstrap session, initialize session, or
Open skill - /stepback
Use when hitting the same error after 2+ fix attempts, when multiple symptoms share a common system, or when fixes feel like whack-a-mole. Forces architectural reassessment over symptom-patching. Also use proactively when a fix touches infrastructure-level config.
Open skill - /stop
Gracefully close, pause, or verify a session: harvest promotable content, save progress, archive soul purpose, settle AtlasCoin bounty. Use when user says /stop, wrap up, done for the day, finishing up, close session, pause, verify, or end session.
