name: closing-a-thread description: > Use when an open question, investigation, or tracked issue has been fully resolved. Prevents future sessions from revisiting solved problems and keeps the briefing focused on what's actually still open.
Closing a Thread
An open thread or commitment has been addressed. Close it:
- Call
close_threadwith the note ID (visible in briefing output or lookup results) - Include a
resolutiondescribing how it was resolved
If you don't remember the note ID, call lookup with type=open_thread to find it.
This is important for knowledge hygiene - unresolved threads show up in every future session's briefing. Closing them keeps the signal-to-noise ratio high.
