What I'm building this week(/month/quarter)

This week: How agent skills are improving my session workflows. I’m working on a demo that I’m hoping to share next week. This week’s ‘build’ focuses on where I’ve created a new agent skill in my workflow that helps manage my session information and make my life a little easier.

I’m working on a demo that I’m hoping to share next week. This week’s ‘build’ focuses on where I’ve created a new agent skill in my workflow that helps manage my session information and make my life a little easier.

I’ll be adding skills I create here for you to use / view!

Context

I’ve probably used ~100 sessions or chats in Antigravity this week developing said demo as I’m trying to be better about flushing and getting new context, iterating on a task, and starting fresh. But, being a data engineer at heart, I was starting to feel like some of the information from prior sessions was getting forgotten by me, and, selfishly, since I work in an outbound Developer team, I was probably losing ideas to talk about.

Enter the session-journal agent skill.

What is the session-journal skill?

Agent sessions in Antigravity / other platforms store detailed session logs for each of the sessions they create. I wanted to get rolling summaries of each session, and then create aggregates of sessions to find content, understand key strategies the agent took (or failed at), and ultimately improve my prompting and sharing of things I’ve been learning along the way.

Here’s almost literally the depiction of what this process does:

The session-journal works as a sidecar in Antigravity to continuously summarize sessions. Since I try to create a new session for each task, sometimes there are common things that happen across the tasks or things that I try to fix repeatedly.

Writing to .local, the session-journal skill creates the summaries for my use, and does a light brainstorm of potential content themes (this part might be optional if you use it).

How I built it

Most agents are actually pretty decent at using skills to create skills, and this is no different. After some brainstorming on what I actually needed this skill to do, I used Antigravity to create the skill. I have a colleague (@joeshirey) who took another approach using superpowers. We merged the skills together to get the best of both worlds.

Try it!

Please let me know if you try it and what works or doesn’t! Next up is to try this on other coding tools and refine how it’s running (sometimes the sidecar doesn’t start).
