FAQPage Schema

How do I preserve brainstorm decisions across work sessions?▼

To preserve brainstorm decisions across work sessions, you need a checkpointing process that summarizes ideation outcomes into a durable file. This captures decisions, open questions, and next steps to prevent context loss when resuming work.

What is the best way to maintain project continuity during build sprints?▼

Maintaining project continuity during build sprints requires creating a single source of truth that records the current project state. By capturing completed work and open questions, you can easily ready the project for the next sprint session.

How do I save a brainstorming session summary to a markdown file?▼

You can save a brainstorming session summary to a markdown file by writing the captured decisions and next steps directly to a checkpoint.md file in your project directory. This overwrites the previous state to reflect the latest session outcomes.

Can I overwrite a previous checkpoint with the latest riffing session state?▼
