FAQPage Schema
How do I preserve context when wrapping up a development session?

To preserve context during session wrap-up, you can run the `/handoff` command to automatically update your active plan and write a session log. This ensures the current state is captured for the next session.

Why do I lose track of my active plan across multiple coding sessions?

You lose track of your active plan because session memory is not automatically preserved. Using a session wrap-up command writes a session log to capture memory, ensuring the next session has all necessary information to continue.

Do I need the Xihe system for session management and context preservation?

Yes, you need the Xihe system to use this session management functionality. The system is required for context management and state preservation when writing the session log and updating the active plan.

What is the best way to automate session log generation for developers?

The best way to automate session log generation is to run a wrap-up command at the end of your session. This automatically captures memory and updates the active plan without requiring manual documentation effort.

Can I maintain context for next steps if my session is interrupted unexpectedly?

Yes, you can maintain context for next steps by running the wrap-up command before ending your work. It updates the active plan and writes a session log so the next session can pick up where the last one left off.

Does handoff work as a standalone developer tool without external dependencies?

No, handoff does not work as a standalone developer tool. It requires the Xihe system as a dependency to handle the underlying context management and state preservation required for writing session logs.
