Updating & Saving

One thing I have been implementing more and more each day is ensuring my logs are updated and I push to GitHub. I tend to update my logs, session notes, etc after each major task and then commit 2-3 times a day after large code base changes. Here are a couple of prompts that may help out.

Prompt 1 — Update Logs

Before we wrap, write a session log entry I can paste into my notes. Cover:

1. What we worked on (2-4 bullets, factual)

2. Any decisions we locked in and the reasoning behind them

3. Open threads — what's unresolved, what's next

4. One sentence to "pick up here" — the single most likely first action next session

Keep it scannable. This is the first thing I'll read next time.

Prompt 2 — Save Work

Help me commit this work cleanly. Do three things:

1. Summarize what changed in this session — the actual diff, not the plan

2. Draft a commit message: one-line summary, then a bullet list of meaningful changes

3. Flag anything I should NOT commit (credentials, secrets, half-finished work)

Then give me the exact commands to stage, commit, and push.

Note: at this point I just have Claude add, commit, and push, but its helpful to do it yourself at first. Plus it feels cool.
