What problem does it solve?

Many AI agent tasks, hooks, and logging mechanisms require the current session's unique ID for file naming, context management, or task tracking. Manually finding or passing this ID across different parts of a workflow can be cumbersome, error-prone, and interrupt the flow of automation. This Skill ensures the ID is always available.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic Injection: The session ID is automatically injected into the conversation context at SessionStart via a hook, requiring no manual invocation or user input.
  • Seamless Integration: Provides the session ID in a standardized format (✅ Session ID: {uuid}), ready for immediate use by other skills, scripts, and hooks.
  • Context Management: Enables session-specific file operations, logging, and task tracking, ensuring data isolation and relevance across complex AI workflows.
  • Use Case: A logging hook needs to create a session-specific log file. Instead of requiring the user or agent to provide the session ID, this Skill ensures the ID is already available in the context, allowing the hook to automatically name its log file correctly (e.g., log-{session-id}.txt), saving manual effort and ensuring consistency.

Quick Start

Look for the system reminder "✅ Session ID: {uuid}" in the SessionStart context; no direct invocation is needed.
