Night Market Skill — ported from claude-night-market/sanctum. For the full experience with agents, hooks, and commands, install the Claude Code plugin.

Session Management

When To Use

• Managing session checkpoints and state preservation
• Resuming work across Claude Code sessions

When NOT To Use

• Short sessions that do not need checkpoints
• Fresh starts where no prior session context exists

Overview

Claude Code supports named sessions for better workflow organization. Use this skill to manage complex, long-running work across multiple sessions.

Available Commands

Workflow Patterns

1. Debugging Sessions

Name debug sessions for easy resumption:

# Start debugging
/rename debugging-auth-issue

# ... work on the issue ...

# If you need to pause, session is auto-saved
# Resume later:
claude --resume debugging-auth-issue

2. Feature Development Checkpoints

Create checkpoints during long feature work:

# After completing milestone 1
/rename feature-x-milestone-1

# Continue in new session
# Reference old session if needed

3. PR Review Sessions

For complex PR reviews that span multiple sittings:

# Start review
/rename pr-review-123

# Take breaks without losing context
# Resume:
claude --resume pr-review-123

4. PR-Linked Sessions (Claude Code 2.1.27+)

Sessions are automatically linked to PRs when created via gh pr create. Resume PR-specific sessions later:

# Resume session for a specific PR
claude --from-pr 156
claude --from-pr https://github.com/org/repo/pull/156

# Workflow: review → pause → resume with full context
/rename pr-review-156
# ... review work ...
# Later:
claude --from-pr 156

5. Investigation Sessions

When investigating issues that may require research:

# Start investigation
/rename investigate-memory-leak

# Pause to gather more info externally
# Resume with full context:
claude --resume investigate-memory-leak

Resume Screen Features

The /resume screen provides:

• Grouped forked sessions: See related sessions together
• Keyboard shortcuts (defaults, customizable via /keybindings):
  • Preview session content
  • Rename a session
• Recent sessions: Sorted by last activity

6. Resume Hint on Exit (Claude Code 2.1.31+)

Claude Code now shows a resume hint when you exit, displaying the command to continue your conversation. This makes session resumption more discoverable — users no longer need to know about --resume beforehand.

Best Practices

Naming Conventions

Use descriptive, hyphenated names:
