FAQPage Schema
How do I save context before closing a session to resume work later?

To save context, run the /handoff command to generate a structured document preserving your session summary, active goals, unfinished work, key files, and decisions for future reference.

What is the best way to preserve session state when switching to a fresh context?

Preserving session state involves creating a handoff document that captures your current summary, active goals, and key files, ensuring continuity when you pick the work up later in a new session.

Can I add custom notes to my session handoff document?

Yes, you can include optional notes when running the /handoff command, appending custom context to the structured summary of goals, unfinished work, and decisions.

Does saving context require external data transfers or dependencies?

No, saving context avoids external data transfers entirely and requires no dependencies, storing the handoff document locally to maintain privacy and session continuity.

When should I use a session handoff instead of manually summarizing my work?

Use a session handoff when your context is full or you need to switch sessions, as it automatically structures goals, files, and decisions rather than manually tracking them.
