What it does
cosgroveb-claude-session-summary is a community Claude Code plugin that watches your session lifecycle and writes a condensed summary when you stop, then shows it through a tmux popup so you can reorient fast. Solo builders who live in terminal multiplexers often lose thread across context compactions or window switches; a stop-triggered recap turns chat noise into a short narrative you can skim before the next prompt. It does not replace git commits or formal specs—it is lightweight session memory for the agent loop. You need Claude Code and tmux in your stack; the popup path assumes you are already comfortable managing tmux panes and windows. Compared to generic note-taking skills, this is tightly coupled to Claude’s stop event and tmux UI. Use it when sessions run long, when you juggle several agent tasks in parallel windows, or when you want a human-readable handoff note at the end of a block of work without exporting logs manually.

Why builders use it
Long Claude Code sessions in tmux make it hard to remember what was decided, tried, or left unfinished without re-reading thousands of lines of transcript.
After you install the plugin, each session stop yields a compact summary you can open in tmux and use to resume work with clearer context.
