SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates complete session handoff to prevent loss of work, consolidate session artifacts, and prepare a clean state for the next session.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scan & Persist: Detect unsaved Cortex items and save them reliably with backup queuing when Cortex or Notion are unreachable.
  • Structured Session Summaries: Create or append a session file with accomplishments, decisions, files changed, Cortex/Notion references, and background agent reports.
  • Memory & Task Maintenance: Compact MEMORY.md into topic files, update per-user task files with a concurrent-write lock, and mark completed or pending tasks with context for next session.
  • Integration & Sync: Validate FORGE format for procedures, handle Notion dashboard updates with exponential backoff, and perform a git sync to persist local project changes.
  • Use Case: At the end of a development or research session, run handoff to capture all created skills, procedures, and pending work so the next session resumes without context loss.

Quick Start

Run the handoff skill to save unsaved work, compact memory, update tasks, check agents, sync git, and generate the final session report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent data loss when ending a coding session?

Preventing data loss when ending a coding session requires a structured handoff that scans unsaved work, compacts memory, updates tasks, and syncs git to securely persist current state.

What is the best way to save session state to Notion and local memory?

Saving session state to Notion and local memory involves updating the Notion dashboard with exponential backoff while compacting MEMORY.md into topic files to preserve accomplishments and pending tasks.

How do I manage background agents and memory files when switching sessions?

Managing background agents and memory files when switching sessions requires checking active agents, verifying active modes, and compacting MEMORY.md into structured topic files to ensure zero context loss.

Does session handoff work without a continuous connection to Notion?

Session handoff works without a continuous Notion connection by utilizing backup queuing and error handling with backoff for transient failures to securely persist data when external services are unreachable.

What is included in a structured session summary for automated restore?

A structured session summary for automated restore includes accomplishments, decisions, files changed, Cortex and Notion references, and background agent reports to prepare a clean state for the next session.
