Persisting project context involves saving STATE.md files and checkpoints during active work. This mechanism allows you to reload the exact session state later, preventing data loss when switching between different tasks.

Checkpoint detection scans the project directory for STATE.md files to identify saved progress markers. It enables context-aware routing of next steps by comparing completed tasks against the overall project plan.

The best way to manage state is to maintain a STATE.md file that tracks project progress, checkpoints, and pending actions. This provides clear status visibility and enables context-aware routing of next steps when resuming work.

Yes, you can reconstruct STATE.md by analyzing existing project files and completed tasks. The workflow detects available checkpoints and presents the current status to help route your next context-aware actions.

No, this state management workflow requires no external dependencies. It operates independently by verifying project existence, loading or reconstructing STATE.md, and presenting pending actions for context resumption.

Using a STATE.md file provides automated routing and clear status visibility of checkpoints and pending actions, which manual notes lack. It ensures complete context persistence and accurate continuation of unfinished work across sessions.
