Loose Ends

List what's still open in THIS conversation so nothing gets forgotten after a tangent. Recall-only: no file writes, no task creation, no fixes — just the list.

Steps

  1. Re-read the whole conversation, oldest to newest. Collect candidates in four buckets:
    • Suggestions or recommendations Claude made that got no decision ("worth doing X", "you may want to...", "I'd recommend...")
    • Questions either side asked that never got answered
    • Items the user explicitly deferred ("later", "not now", "let's come back to that")
    • Problems surfaced but not acted on (errors, stale data, warnings, flagged risks)
  2. Check the session task list (TaskList) for open items and merge them in.
  3. Drop anything that was resolved later in the conversation — a tangent often resolves an earlier item implicitly. Verify each candidate against everything that came AFTER it.
  4. Drop anything already captured somewhere durable this session (HANDOVER.md, memory, Notion, a commit, a spawned task chip) — note it as "tracked" instead of listing it as open.
  5. Rank what's left: things blocking current work first, then decisions waiting on the user, then nice-to-haves.
  6. Output the list. If empty, say "Nothing outstanding" and name where the resolved items landed.
