session-management

To preserve context across long development sessions, maintain structured state files like current-state.md, decisions.md, and code-landmarks.md to track progress, decisions, and resume points. This enables seamless resumption after interruptions or breaks.

Managing state for multi-day development tasks is best handled through tiered session checkpoints, ranging from quick updates to full checkpoints and archives, balancing detail and storage to ensure seamless resume capabilities after extended breaks.

Session handoffs for cross-team development work by centralizing session artifacts in an archive directory and structured files, allowing the receiving team to review active tasks, progress, and decisions to resume seamlessly without losing context.

No specific dependencies are required to implement session checkpoints. The approach uses standard markdown files within a project directory to structure state, decisions, and code landmarks, making it lightweight and easily adoptable.

Yes, you can use markdown files like current-state.md for context preservation during work breaks. By updating active tasks, progress, and next steps at natural breakpoints, you ensure the session can be resumed seamlessly later.

You should not use a tiered checkpoint approach for very short, single-session tasks where context loss is unlikely. It is specifically designed for multi-day work, complex state preservation, and cross-team handoffs requiring detailed resume points.
