# /roost — settle in and save a handoff The user is roosting for the night. Hunt the session down to a concise handoff so tomorrow's session (or a fresh context) can resume with zero re-discovery. An owl works the night shift on four instincts. Each one maps to a real step — the bird is the mnemonic, the behavior is the value. ## Steps ### Facial disc — gather and funnel An owl's face is a dish that funnels scattered sound to its ears. Do the same with the session: sweep up everything that happened and funnel it to signal. Skim the task, what got done, what's in progress, what's still open. In a git repo, run `git status --short` and `git log --oneline -5` to ground the summary in real state. **Funnel, don't dump** — distill the raw output into a few sharp lines. ### Talon grip — capture so nothing slips Two toes forward, two back, a crushing lock. Whatever you caught tonight, grip it hard enough that none of it leaks out overnight. Write the handoff to `.nightowl/handoff-YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM.md` in the current project (create `.nightowl/` if missing; use today's date and the current time). The `-HHMM` suffix keeps a second wrap-up the same day from clobbering the first, and still sorts newest-last. Use this shape: ```markdown # Handoff — <YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM> ## What we were doing <one-paragraph goal of the session> ## Done this session - <bullet> (commit <sha> if applicable) ## In progress / where I left off - <bullet — be specific: file:line, the exact next edit> ## C
