SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the problem of context loss between AI sessions by synchronizing the project state with the current reality of the working tree and GitHub activity.

Core Features & Use Cases

State Synchronization: Automatically updates design/state.md with the current phase, in-flight issues, and recent progress.
Session Continuity: Generates rich handoff notes to ensure a new session can pick up exactly where the previous one left off.
Use Case: Use this at the end of a long coding session to record blockers and progress, allowing you to safely clear the context window and resume later without losing your train of thought.

Quick Start

Run the pause skill with the handoff flag to refresh your state file and generate a detailed summary for your next session.

FAQPage Schema

How do I save AI coding session context for a clean handoff?▼

To save AI coding session context for a clean handoff, you need to synchronize your project state by updating local tracking files and generating handoff documentation. This records current progress, blockers, and in-flight issues for your next session.

What is session state synchronization for long-running development workflows?▼

Session state synchronization for long-running development workflows is the process of updating local tracking files with the current project phase and recent progress. It ensures session continuity and clear progress tracking across multiple AI interactions.

How do I generate handoff documentation from my current git working tree?▼

You generate handoff documentation from your git working tree by running a synchronization process that verifies repository context and fetches recent pull request data. This creates detailed notes to resume work safely.

Do I need GitHub CLI integration to track project state and session context?▼

Yes, you need GitHub CLI integration to track project state and session context effectively. The synchronization process requires git and GitHub CLI to verify repository context and fetch recent pull request data for accurate handoff notes.

When should I synchronize project state to maintain session continuity?▼

You should synchronize project state to maintain session continuity at the end of a long coding session. This records your current phase and blockers, allowing you to safely clear the context window and resume later without losing progress.
