FAQPage Schema
How do I document session handoffs in Markdown for my team?

To document session handoffs in Markdown, you can append exact prompts, decisions, and next actions into dedicated PROMPTS.md, PLANS.md, and HANDOFFS.md files. This creates a persistent, immutable history trail ensuring no knowledge is lost when team members rotate.

What is the best way to capture live session prompts and plans for collaboration?

The best way to capture live session prompts and plans is by using a structured handoff workflow that records exact inputs and decisions. This maintains an immutable session history across write, resume, and check modes, preventing context loss between collaborating engineers and product managers.

Do I need a specific directory structure to record session documentation?

Yes, recording session documentation requires a dedicated .intentra directory containing PROMPTS.md, PLANS.md, and HANDOFFS.md files. This specific environment setup ensures that prompts, decisions, and next actions are appended correctly to maintain an immutable history.

How does the resume mode work for session handoffs?

The resume mode for session handoffs works by reading the previously appended prompts, plans, and decisions from the Markdown files in the .intentra directory. This allows team members to pick up exactly where the last session left off without losing context.

Can I use this handoff approach for both writing and product planning workflows?

Yes, you can use this structured handoff approach for both writing and product planning workflows. It records a session's prompt, decisions, and next actions across various collaborative tasks, making it suitable for handing off work between writers, engineers, and product managers.

Why should I use structured Markdown files for session handoffs instead of ad hoc notes?

You should use structured Markdown files for session handoffs because ad hoc notes often lead to chaotic context sharing. Structured files ensure that exact prompts, plans, and decisions are appended immutably, providing a reliable trail for rotating team members to resume work.
