# /close — Session-close ritual (alias)

`/close` is an alias for **`/capitalize --ritual`**. All logic lives in the
**capitalize** skill — nothing is duplicated here.

Invoke the `capitalize` skill now and run it in **ritual mode**: the full
pipeline (STEP 0 precheck → STEP 1 auto-scan → STEP 2 dedup → STEP 2B TODO
reconcile → STEP 3 approval gate → STEP 4 write → STEP 5 journal → STEP 6
handoff), PLUS STEP 1B's explicit 3-question reflection (what did you decide /
learn / block).

Ritual answers are deduped like any other candidate — a dup is dropped and its
existing ID shown, not re-logged. This is the upgrade over the legacy `/close`,
which wrote ritual answers fresh with no dedup.

The gitflow aiguillage (branch to `chore/*` on a protected base before writing)
runs inside `capitalize` — not duplicated here.

→ Use the Skill tool to launch `capitalize` with argument `--ritual`.
