# /shutdown > End-of-day capture -- save state, log energy, seed tomorrow. ## Usage ``` /shutdown ``` ## What It Does Runs the end-of-day shutdown sequence: captures all open threads, logs energy levels, updates signal files with day's progress, and seeds tomorrow's priorities. Ensures nothing is lost between sessions. ## Implementation 1. Review `rhythm/today.md` -- what was planned vs what happened. 2. Capture open threads -- incomplete tasks, pending decisions, waiting-on items. 3. Update signal files -- mark completed items, add new signals from the day. 4. Log energy -- append to `rhythm/energy.md` with time, level, notes. 5. Seed tomorrow -- update `rhythm/week-plan.md` with carryover items. 6. Run `cd engine && mix optimal.index` to reindex any new files. ## Examples ```bash # Run full shutdown sequence /shutdown ```
