SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When a Cursor chat session grows long or needs to be paused, context is lost when starting a new chat. This Skill captures the current state, next steps, and decisions into a compact notes file so work can resume without re-explaining everything. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Session Snapshot: Writes a structured Markdown file (Current, Next, Decisions, Links) to temp/session-notes.md, which is already git-ignored. - Safe Handoff: Explicitly avoids running apply, writer, reviewer, or any .bsl/XML code edits during the save. - Use Case: You are mid-way through a 1C development change request and need to stop for the day. Invoke /session-save, then open a new chat tomorrow and run /session-restore to pick up exactly where you left off. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to save the current session with /session-save so you can continue in a new chat later.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I save my Cursor chat session to continue later?▼

Invoke /session-save in the chat. The assistant writes a compact summary to temp/session-notes.md with the current state, next steps, decisions, and links, then you can restore it in a new chat with /session-restore.

What information does the session notes file contain?▼

The file has four sections: Current (what was done and where work stopped), Next (imperative next steps), Decisions (fixed decisions from the session), and Links (paths to proposals, designs, tasks, and reports).

Does session-save modify any code or run apply?▼

No. The skill explicitly forbids running /opsx:apply, writer, reviewer, or any .bsl/XML edits. It only writes the notes file and replies with the file path.

Will session notes be committed to git?▼

No. The notes are written to the temp/ directory, which is already listed in .gitignore, so session handoff files stay local to your machine.

When should I not use session-save?▼

Avoid it when you expect it to duplicate OpenSpec artifact content or store secrets. The skill only stores links to artifacts and never writes connection strings or credentials to the notes file.
