To preserve AI session state before clearing context, generate a structured YAML ledger that captures current decisions, findings, and next steps. This handoff document allows seamless continuation of multi-session projects by restoring the exact work state later.

A continuity ledger is a structured YAML file that records goals, decisions, findings, file changes, and next actions for multi-session AI projects. It serves as a handoff document to maintain work continuity when context limits are approached or sessions are cleared.

To create a handoff file, prompt the AI agent to generate a continuity ledger for the current session. The Skill automatically manages folders within the thoughts/shared/handoffs directory and writes a structured YAML file capturing the current session state.

Yes, generating a continuity ledger requires file system access to read and write handoff files within the thoughts/shared/handoffs directory. This access is necessary to store the structured YAML session state and load it for the resumption workflow.

You should generate a session handoff ledger when the AI context is approaching capacity, during multi-day feature development or large refactors, or before clearing the session. It captures work state to ensure seamless continuation across collaborators.

To resume work after clearing the AI context, use the resumption workflow to load the latest continuity ledger from the thoughts/shared/handoffs directory. This restores the previous session's goals, decisions, and next actions into the new context.
