To end a Claude Code work session, instruct the agent to run the session wrap-up process. This resolves active task checkpoints, handles in-progress items, saves the final state to a designated path, and captures optional notes for future sessions.

Session checkpointing is the process of persisting your current work state to a structured payload path. It is needed for multi-task workflows to deterministically save progress, review active tasks, and ensure no work is lost when ending a session.

Yes, session wrap-up allows you to gracefully pause in-progress tasks. The workflow reviews current state, identifies tasks requiring input, and either completes them or pauses them before generating a final session summary.

Session checkpointing relies on the presence of a SESSION_ID to determine and store the checkpoint path. Without it, the workflow cannot resolve the designated path to persist the final structured payload.

The best way to generate an end-of-session summary is to trigger a status review workflow. This reviews current state, identifies active tasks requiring input, resolves checkpoints, and persists a structured summary payload.
