Session share

Contract

Field	Bound contract
Trigger	User explicitly asks to beam, publish, or share the current local coding session with an authenticated remote receiver.
Authority	Remote: uploads a redacted, size-bounded JSON payload to a configured endpoint over HTTPS with authentication; requires explicit human invocation. Previews the payload size and destination before sending. No model-autonomous invocation.
Side effect	A redacted, size-bounded JSON payload is uploaded to a configured endpoint over HTTPS with authentication; a shareable URL is returned. No raw JSONL, reasoning traces, or credentials are sent.
Done	The returned URL is valid and the payload contains only visible user/assistant messages and aggregate tool counts.

Not for

• Viewing or exporting a session transcript locally; use session-viewer.

Inputs

• Required: the current local coding session transcript (visible user and assistant messages, tool-call metadata).
• Required: target endpoint URL (HTTPS). The user must supply or have configured it.
• Required: authentication credentials for the endpoint. The user must supply or have configured them; the skill never invents credentials.
• Optional: a session-end hook configuration that may invoke sharing automatically at session end. Synchronization is opt-in and off by default.

Payload contract

The payload is a single JSON object:

{
  "messages": [
    {"role": "user", "text": "..."},
    {"role": "assistant", "text": "..."}
  ],
  "tool_counts": {"tool_name": integer, ...},
  "size_bytes": integer
}

• messages: visible user and assistant messages only. Exclude raw JSONL, reasoning or thinking traces, tool result bodies, and any credential- or secret-bearing content.
• tool_counts: aggregate invocations per tool name (total count), not individual tool inputs or outputs.
• size_bytes: the serialized payload size in bytes, measured before upload.

The size limit is 5 MB (5,242,880 bytes). If the serialized payload exceeds this limit, drop the oldest non-essential messages while preserving tool_counts until the payload is at or below the limit. If the payload still exceeds 5 MB after dropping all non-essential messages, stop and report the measured size; do not upload.

HTTP contract

Upload is a single POST request:

• Method: POST
• URL: the configured endpoint URL (must be HTTPS)
• Header: Authorization: Bearer <token> or the credential format the endpoint requires
• Header: Content-Type: application/json
• Body: the serialized payload JSON

The endpoint response is JSON. The skill reads the shareable URL from the response body. The expected response shape:

{"url": "https://...", ...}

If the response is not valid JSON, or the url field is absent or not a valid HTTPS URL, the upload failed; report the response status and body excerpt.

Procedure

1. Confirm the user explicitly requested sharing this session. If the request is ambiguous or model-initiated, stop and ask for explicit human confirmation. Done when: explicit human intent is confirmed.
2. Extract visible user and assistant messages from the transcript. Exclude raw JSONL, reasoning traces, tool result bodies, and credential-bearing content. Aggregate tool-call counts (total invocations per tool name). Done when: only visible messages and aggregate counts are selected.
3. Serialize the payload JSON and measure its size. If it exceeds 5 MB, drop the oldest non-essential messages while preserving tool_counts until it is at or below 5 MB. If it still exceeds 5 MB, stop and report the measured size. Done when: the payload is within the 5 MB limit or the blocked result is reported.
4. Preview the payload to the user: state the byte size, the message count, the destination endpoint URL, and that a redacted JSON payload will be uploaded over HTTPS. Wait for an explicit yes. Done when: the user confirms after seeing the preview, or the user declines and the run stops.
5. Validate that authentication credentials are available for the endpoint. Done when: credentials are confirmed present, or the missing prerequisite is reported and no payload is sent.
6. POST the payload to the endpoint over HTTPS with the authentication header and Content-Type: application/json. Done when: the upload completes with an HTTP response, or the network or HTTP error is reported.
7. Parse the response JSON and extract the url field. Validate that it is a well-formed HTTPS URL. Done when: the URL is validated, or the response failure is reported.
8. Optional session-end hook: if the user has configured a session-end hook command (configuration example only), it may invoke this procedure automatically at session end; synchronization remains opt-in and is off by default. Done when: the hook configuration is noted or confirmed absent.

Failure and recovery

• Ambiguous or model-initiated request: stop, do not upload, ask for explicit human confirmation.
• Missing credentials: stop before any upload; report that endpoint credentials are not configured; no payload is sent.
• Human rejects preview: no upload occurs. The run stops. Report that the user declined.
• Payload exceeds 5 MB after dropping non-essential messages: report a blocked result with the measured size; do not upload an oversized payload.
• Upload failure (network timeout, DNS failure, TLS error): report the exact error and the blocked result; no URL is returned. Do not retry blindly.
• HTTP error (4xx or 5xx): report the status code and a short response body excerpt; no URL is returned. Do not retry blindly.
• Response lacks valid URL: report the response status and body excerpt; no URL is returned.
• Redaction leak detected (reasoning, credentials, or raw JSONL present in the payload): abort before upload; report the leak; do not publish.
• Non-mutation rule: publishing is irreversible once the URL is returned; the only protection is to never upload a payload that fails the redaction contract.

Output

On success, a valid shareable URL plus confirmation that the published payload contains only visible user/assistant messages and aggregate tool counts. On failure, a blocked result naming the failure class with no URL published.
