Details
From the project README/debrief
Alias for /handoff. Identical behavior — full end-of-session ritual:
git context grab (if repo), narrative session log at
~/.origin/sessions/, project status update, granular MCP captures.
Run the steps in /origin:handoff exactly. Same artifacts, same
guardrails. The only reason this skill exists is the symmetric naming —
/brief (session start) ↔ /debrief (session end). Pick whichever
verb feels natural; both invoke the same flow.
When to use
- User says "wrapping up", "let's call it", "we're done", "debrief".
- Session about to close and useful state would otherwise be lost.
When NOT to use
- Mid-flow capture during work → use
/capture(single memory). - Search / lookup → use
/recall.
