FAQPage Schema
How do I preserve conversation context when token usage approaches the limit?

To preserve conversation context when token usage approaches the limit, generate a compact checkpoint that analyzes the session and captures decisions, code changes, and next steps into a structured summary.

What is a session checkpoint and how does it help with context management?

A session checkpoint is a structured summary written to the scratchpad that captures essential conversation details like decisions and blockers, enabling reliable continuation across sessions without losing context.

How do I automatically summarize a long coding session for later review?

Automatically summarize a long coding session by triggering checkpoint creation at a 95% context usage threshold, which logs a concise summary of code changes and blockers for later review.

When should I generate a context checkpoint during my workflow?

Generate a context checkpoint when context usage is high and approaches the 95% default threshold, ensuring you create a structured summary before hitting token limits to prevent data loss.

Does checkpoint creation support automatic memory updates for continuous sessions?

Checkpoint creation supports automatic memory updates by writing structured summaries to the scratchpad, which allows for seamless continuation and reliable context recovery across multiple sessions.
