SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

LLM conversation context is ephemeral: summarization, session changes, and token limits can cause mid-task progress, decisions, and state for AI agents generating software artifacts to be lost permanently, forcing work to be restarted from scratch.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Skeleton-First Write: Creates the full artifact structure upfront with progress tracking, so work is recoverable even if interrupted immediately after starting.
  • Section-Atomic Saves: Persists each completed section to disk immediately, so no completed work is lost if context is lost mid-generation.
  • Resume-on-Entry: Automatically detects in-progress artifacts and picks up exactly where the agent left off, recovering all prior decisions from the artifact itself instead of conversation memory.
  • Context Canary Gate: Validates every write operation against the artifact's stored progress to prevent duplicate or out-of-order section generation after summarization.
  • Use Case: Any agent in the Myrmion AI Factory SDLC workflow (SETUP, CODESIGN, BLUEPRINT, IMPLEMENT, DEVOPS, QA) generating artifacts like design documents, specifications, test plans, or infrastructure configurations.

Quick Start

Use the factory-incremental-persistence skill to automatically save all agent artifact work incrementally so no progress is lost during context summarization or session interruptions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent AI agents from losing artifact progress during context summarization?

To prevent AI agents from losing artifact progress during context summarization, use a skeleton-first write approach that creates the full structure upfront and saves each section atomically to disk immediately upon completion.

What is incremental persistence for AI agent artifact generation?

Incremental persistence for AI agent artifact generation is a protocol that writes skeleton structures first, saves sections atomically, and resumes in-progress work automatically, ensuring mid-task progress survives context loss.

How do I resume SDLC workflow tasks after an LLM session interruption?

To resume SDLC workflow tasks after an LLM session interruption, implement a resume-on-entry mechanism that detects in-progress artifacts on disk and recovers prior decisions directly from the saved files instead of conversation memory.

How does a context canary gate prevent duplicate section generation?

A context canary gate prevents duplicate section generation by validating every write operation against the artifact's stored progress tracking, blocking out-of-order or repeated section writes after context summarization occurs.

Can I use incremental persistence for infrastructure configurations and test plans?

Yes, you can use incremental persistence for infrastructure configurations and test plans, as it applies to all file-based artifact generation tasks across the SDLC workflow including design documents and specifications.

What's the best way to recover agent state after hitting token limits?

The best way to recover agent state after hitting token limits is to combine skeleton-first writes with section-atomic saves, allowing the agent to pick up exactly where it left off by reading progress from the artifact itself.
