SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Long-running AI agent sessions accumulate in the dashboard, and finished or abandoned ones clutter the active list. This Skill archives a session by slug without loading its full context, keeping the notes file on disk while removing it from the active sessions registry. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Context-free archiving: Marks a session archived by slug without loading the session's conversation history. - Audit trail: Appends a timestamped ARCHIVED entry to the notes.md Session history section. - Registry cleanup: Removes the session entry from active-sessions.json while preserving the notes file on disk. - Use Case: After finishing a feature branch tracked as session PROJ-1234, run the archive command to clear it from the dashboard's active list while keeping its notes for later reopening with /restart-session. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to archive session PROJ-1234 using the archive-session skill.

Frequently Asked Questions about archive-session

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I archive a session in AI Agents Orchestrator?▼

Run /archive-session followed by the session slug, which is the session's folder name shown in the dashboard. The skill stamps the notes.md as archived and removes the session from active-sessions.json without deleting any files.

Does archiving a session delete its notes file?▼

No, archiving never deletes anything. The notes.md stays on disk with a timestamped ARCHIVED line added to its Session history, and you can reopen the session later with /restart-session followed by the slug.

What happens if multiple sessions match the same slug?▼

The skill searches every configured category base for the slug's notes.md. If more than one match is found, it shows all matching paths and asks you to choose which session to archive before proceeding.

Why does archive-session fail in plan mode?▼

The skill writes files, which plan mode blocks. When a plan mode system reminder is active, the skill stops and instructs you to switch to auto mode before re-running the archive command.

What if no notes.md is found for the slug I provided?▼

The skill aborts with an error message telling you no notes.md was found for that slug. Check the exact slug in the dashboard, since it must match the session's folder name.
