Closing a hermit run requires stopping active monitors, archiving the session report, and resetting runtime state. Running /session-close executes this full shutdown sequence and defines a clear Next Start Point to prepare the system for the next run.

What is the best way to prepare a clear starting point for the next work session?▼

The best way to prepare a clear starting point is to use a structured session closure process that archives outputs and resets tasks, blockers, and notes. This automatically defines a Next Start Point to ensure continuity and traceability across runs.

How does session archiving work for preserving context and lessons learned?▼

Session archiving works by capturing the active session report at shutdown to preserve context and lessons learned. It updates runtime state and stores the session report, ensuring traceability before preparing a fresh start for the next session.

Can I reset tasks, blockers, and notes for a fresh start across my workflow?▼

Yes, you can reset tasks, blockers, and notes for a fresh start by initiating a full session closure. This workflow automation stops associated tasks and resets the environment, readying the system for the next session.

When should I use a structured handoff to end a work session?▼

You should use a structured handoff to end a work session whenever an operator wants to stop a hermit's run and archive results. It ensures continuity by archiving the session report and defining a clear Next Start Point for the next session.
