FAQPage Schema
How do I maintain task context across multiple AI chat sessions?

Persistent memory for multi-session work is maintained by storing decisions, notes, and dependencies in a Git-backed store. This ensures context survives conversation compaction and session boundaries.

What is the best way to track long-running issues that span days or weeks?

The best way to track long-running issues is using graph-based issue tracking with dependency management. This records outcomes for an auditable history and surfaces ready work across multi-session workflows.

How does dependency management work for multi-session task tracking?

Dependency management for multi-session task tracking enforces dependency types within a graph structure. This surfaces ready work while storing decisions and context in a notes field for future sessions.

Can I manage complex collaboration workflows with persistent notes?

Complex collaboration workflows with persistent notes are supported through advanced features including molecules, wisps, and agent beads. These integrate with developer workflows to capture decisions and outcomes.

Do I need Git to manage conversation compaction for issue tracking?

Git is required to manage conversation compaction for issue tracking, as it provides the backed persistence store for decisions and context. This ensures work survives across session boundaries.
