Explore a complex question across multiple sessions without losing the thread
When to use: You're circling a hard question and a single conversation isn't enough.
Flow
-
Open with /session/session — I want to think through what 'quality' means for our product.✓ Copied→ Claude frames the session with context scaffolding, not an immediate answer
-
Work, then /wrap/wrap — capture what we landed on and what's still open.✓ Copied→ Concise closure doc with open threads noted
-
Next day: /pickup/pickup from yesterday's session.✓ Copied→ Claude re-enters with your prior frame intact
-
Weekly: /heartbeat/heartbeat — what's been recurring across the last 5 sessions?✓ Copied→ Patterns surfaced that you didn't notice inside a single session
Outcome: A sustained line of thinking that actually compounds, rather than restarts.
Pitfalls
- Using /session for one-shot queries — Drop it for trivial questions — compound thinking has overhead
