A shared state bus coordinates persistent state across independent workflows by reading and writing a JSON state file. This cross-session state management initializes status, updates signals, and advances lifecycle counters to prevent context loss and drift.

A signal bus for cross-skill state management is a shared JSON file that coordinates multiple independent processes. It enforces a defined schema and lifecycle events so separate processes can read, update, and report status signals reliably across different sessions.

Initialize cross-session state coordination by running an init command to create the shared JSON state file. This establishes the required schema structure for the signal bus, allowing connected workflows to begin reading, writing, and synchronizing their status.

JSON state management successfully coordinates independent workflows across restarts by storing current status, signals, and lifecycle counters in a persistent file. When a workflow restarts, it reads the JSON file to resume exactly where the previous session left off.

Independent workflows lose context without pattern persistence because each process runs in isolation, causing drift when state is not shared. Without a central JSON state file to synchronize signals, processes cannot maintain continuity or coordinate lifecycle events across restarts.
