dev-task-memory

What problem does it solve?

Long-running development tasks often lose critical context when an AI session undergoes context compression, restarts, or the user issues a /new command. This Skill eliminates that risk by persisting task decisions, current state, and next steps to the filesystem, ensuring seamless recovery without relying on fallible LLM memory or manual user notes.

Core Features & Use Cases

• 5-Layer Persistence Architecture: Combines state files, git checkpoints, external memory, and cross-session search to survive any session disruption.
• Subagent WIP Pickup: Automatically detects and resumes work-in-progress left by stopped subagents using a 6-step recipe.
• Human-Readable Handoffs: Generates commit-ready handoff documents for /new transitions, ensuring the next session or human reviewer can pick up seamlessly.

Quick Start

Use the dev-task-memory skill to automatically save your development task state to a persistent file whenever you begin a long task, hit a context compression event, or need to hand off work to a new session.
