SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Capturing the current session state prevents context loss and enables resuming work exactly where you left off, even after long breaks or session restarts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create a timestamped handoff document containing the current task, pipeline position, active files, and key decisions.
  • Enable seamless session resumption for spec, implement, review, fix, and test phases without rereading the entire conversation.
  • Improve team handoffs by providing a concise, shareable summary of work in progress.

Quick Start

Run the handoff skill to write a timestamped handoff file that captures the current session context.

FAQPage Schema
How do I save AI session context to resume work later?

Save AI session context by capturing the current task, pipeline position, and active files into a timestamped handoff document. This structured file enables seamless work resumption without rereading the entire conversation history.

What is an AI session handoff document and when do I need one?

An AI session handoff document is a structured summary capturing your current task, pipeline phase, and key decisions. You need one to prevent context loss when resuming work after long breaks, session restarts, or team handoffs.

How do I create a session state file for a spec, implement, or review pipeline?

Create a session state file by running the handoff skill, which automatically targets your active work pipeline phase and writes a timestamped document containing essential context for future session resumption.

Can I share my AI work progress with team members without exporting the full conversation?

Share AI work progress by generating a concise handoff document that captures the current task, pipeline position, and key decisions. This provides a shareable summary of work in progress without exporting the full conversation.

Do I need to provide inputs to capture my current AI pipeline state?

No external inputs are required to capture your current AI pipeline state beyond an optional label. The skill automatically records the active work context and writes a structured handoff document.

Why does my AI session lose context across the spec, implement, review, fix, and test phases?

AI sessions lose context across pipeline phases when state is not explicitly saved. Creating a timestamped handoff document captures the current task and key decisions, preventing context loss and enabling seamless resumption.
