Hook

session · end

Cleans up on exit: logs the session and clears temp files and stale logs.

session · end is a Claude Code hook you can drop into a project. It plugs into the Claude Code workflow directly, so it is useful when a task keeps recurring and you want it handled the same way each time.

/hook add session-end

How to use it

  1. Add the file to `.claude/agents/` (subagent) or `.claude/commands/` in your project.
  2. Restart Claude Code so it registers the new entry.
  3. Invoke it by name, or let the main session delegate to it.
