You can keep persistent context for multi-session engineering investigations by creating a cross-session thread that stores progress and findings, allowing follow-up conversations to resume work from the same starting point without re-explaining the problem.

Tracking workflow state across separate chat sessions is best handled by creating slug-based persistent context threads that maintain open or resolved statuses, ensuring lightweight knowledge stores survive beyond a single conversation.

To create and resume a persistent thread, use the open thread command with a specific slug identifier, then use that same slug to list, resume, or close the thread when the cross-session task is complete.

Yes, you can manage cross-session knowledge stores that do not belong to any single project phase by opening lightweight persistent threads that operate with read and write file access to a configured storage path.

You need persistent context threads for ongoing software projects when work spans multiple conversations and would otherwise be forgotten, such as tracking recurring engineering issues or multi-session investigations.

To close or resolve a persistent context thread once the work is finished, use the slug identifier to update its status from open to resolved, keeping the cross-session context organized and preventing clutter.
