FAQPage Schema
How do I preserve conversation context for long-running tasks across multiple sessions?

To preserve conversation context across multiple sessions, you structure completed steps, current status, and next steps into a persistent file. This approach saves your task progress as a recovery point, allowing long-running workflows to resume seamlessly after interruptions.

What is the best way to save and restore task context when a workflow is interrupted?

The best way to save and restore interrupted task context is by writing a structured handoff file that captures your exact progress. This creates a reliable snapshot of your work, ensuring that the next session can pick up exactly where the previous one left off.

Can I use git to commit changes and capture recovery points during a cross-session handoff?

Yes, you can use git to commit changes and capture recovery points during a cross-session handoff. The process coordinates with your version control system to securely persist task context alongside your code changes, ensuring both progress and state are tracked.

How do I start a session restoration using a structured handoff file?

To start a session restoration, you read the structured handoff file which details your previously completed steps, current status, and upcoming next steps. This file acts as a persistent guide to quickly reload the necessary context and continue your workflow immediately.

Do I need any specific dependencies to automate cross-session handoffs?

No specific dependencies are required to automate cross-session handoffs, as the core mechanism relies on writing a standard markdown file. However, integrating with git is optional and requires a git environment if you want to capture versioned recovery points.
