start_coding_session

Instructions

Implementation Reference

• src/index.ts:283-293 (handler)

  The handler that processes the 'start_coding_session' tool call, invokes projectConfigService.startCodingSession(), and returns the formatted response with session ID, description, start time, and optional branch.

  case 'start_coding_session':
    const session = await this.projectConfigService.startCodingSession(args.description, args.branch);
    return {
      content: [{
        type: 'text',
        text: `Started coding session: ${session.description}\n` +
              `Session ID: ${session.id}\n` +
              `Started at: ${session.startTime}` +
              (session.branch ? `\nBranch: ${session.branch}` : '')
      }]
    };

• src/services/ProjectConfigService.ts:48-55 (schema)

  The SessionInfo interface defining the shape of a session object returned by the tool (id, description, startTime, branch, commitHashes, isActive).

  export interface SessionInfo {
    id: string;
    description: string;
    startTime: string;
    branch?: string;
    commitHashes: string[];
    isActive: boolean;
  }

• src/toolDefinitions.ts:695-707 (registration)

  Registration of 'start_coding_session' in tool definitions with description and inputSchema requiring 'description' and optional 'branch'.

  // Session Management
  {
    name: 'start_coding_session',
    description: 'Start a new AI coding session with automatic change tracking',
    inputSchema: {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
        description: { type: 'string', description: 'What this session will accomplish' },
        branch: { type: 'string', description: 'Git branch to work on (optional)' }
      },
      required: ['description']
    }
  },

• src/toolDefinitions.ts:1010-1022 (registration)

  Duplicate registration of 'start_coding_session' in a second tool definitions section, also requiring 'description' with optional 'branch'.

  // Session Management
  {
    name: 'start_coding_session',
    description: 'Start a new coding session for change tracking',
    inputSchema: {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
        description: { type: 'string', description: 'Description of what will be worked on' },
        branch: { type: 'string', description: 'Git branch for this session' }
      },
      required: ['description']
    }
  },

• src/services/ProjectConfigService.ts:169-182 (helper)

  The startCodingSession method in ProjectConfigService that creates and stores a new session with a unique ID, description, timestamp, and optional branch.

  async startCodingSession(description: string, branch?: string): Promise<SessionInfo> {
    const sessionId = `session_${Date.now()}`;
    
    this.currentSession = {
      id: sessionId,
      description,
      startTime: new Date().toISOString(),
      branch,
      commitHashes: [],
      isActive: true
    };
  
    return this.currentSession;
  }
