To save project context for handoff, update a CONTEXT.md file at the project root with the current goal, progress, blockers, and next steps. This allows another AI coding tool to read the file and immediately resume the work session.

The best way to document progress before switching devices is to generate a structured CONTEXT.md file. It records recent git state, touched files, and current blockers, ensuring the next session starts with a ready-to-pick-up software development context.

You create a session summary for Cursor or Claude Code by instructing your current AI to rewrite CONTEXT.md. It will validate the project root, extract the latest git state, and write a concise summary of in-progress tasks and next actions.

No specific framework is needed to maintain context across AI coding sessions. You only need a project root directory and git state, which the context handoff process reads to generate a standardized CONTEXT.md file for the next agent.

A CONTEXT.md file for cross-tool handoffs should include the last updated date, current goal, progress with in-progress markers, blockers, and next actions. It also records metadata like the tool used to ensure seamless coordination.

Yes, you can use CONTEXT.md to coordinate software development between multiple agents. It enforces a standardized format that captures recent git state and touched files, providing reliable project management context for any follow-on agent.
