SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Save the current Claude session state to a dated file in ~/.claude/session-data so you can resume work later with full context.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Capture and persist the entire session history, including decisions, attempted approaches, and outcomes.
  • Write to a standardized, date-based file path so sessions can be resumed deterministically.
  • Simple, safe workflow that avoids leaking secrets by storing only contextual data locally.

Quick Start

Save the current session to ~/.claude/session-data using the date-based filename in your next Claude session.

FAQPage Schema
How do I save Claude session context to resume work later?▼

To save Claude session context, the skill captures current decisions, results, and next steps, writing them to a dated file in ~/.claude/session-data for deterministic future restoration. It safely persists local metadata without leaking secrets.

What is the best way to preserve automation workflow state across Claude sessions?▼

The best way to preserve workflow state is writing session metadata to a standardized, date-based file path locally. This ensures deterministic context restoration when concluding or pausing work for future Claude sessions.

Can I restore a paused Claude session and keep my previous decisions?▼

Yes, restoring a paused Claude session is possible by reading the dated file stored in ~/.claude/session-data, which preserves previous decisions, attempted approaches, and outcomes for seamless context continuation.

Does saving Claude session state require any external dependencies?▼

No, saving Claude session state requires zero external dependencies. It uses local storage and enforces deterministic file naming to safely handle session metadata within the Claude home directory.

Why does my session context disappear when pausing automation workflows?▼

Session context disappears during pauses because it is not persisted locally. Writing current state to a date-based file in the Claude home directory preserves decisions, results, and next steps for later retrieval.
