What it does
Project Session Management is an agent skill from Microck/ordinary-claude-skills. Track progress across work sessions using SESSION.md with git checkpoints and concrete next actions. Converts IMPLEMENTATIONPHASES.md into trackable session state with phase status, progress markers, and recovery points. Use when: starting projects after planning phase, resuming work after context clears, managing multi-phase implementations, or troubleshooting lost context, missing progress tracking, or unclear next steps.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `metadata.json`).
It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Authentication, Session handoff and Git workflow. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: An unappealing collection of Claude Skills and resources.
When your agent uses it
- : starting projects after planning phase
- Resuming work after context clears
- Managing multi-phase implementations
- Troubleshooting lost context
Example prompts
- “/project-session-management”
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- After project-planning creates IMPLEMENTATION_PHASES.md, offer: "Create SESSION.md to track progress?"
- Generate SESSION.md from phases, set Phase 1 as 🔄 (in progress), set concrete "Next Action"
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1056d29. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Project Session Management loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 114 tokens; SKILL.md has 564 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 564 words (~1,895 tokens).
“Track progress across work sessions using SESSION.md with git checkpoints and concrete next actions.”
