FAQPage Schema
How do I preserve my work context across Claude sessions?▼

Session-manager automatically saves snapshots of your work state before context compaction and restores them when you resume, ensuring your previous progress and file context load seamlessly without manual intervention.

What happens to my session state when I start a new Claude session?▼

The Skill tracks session start and end times, loads your previous work context automatically, verifies required files are accessible, and maintains state transitions so you can continue complex tasks without losing progress.

Can I automate session initialization and cleanup workflows?▼

Yes. Session-manager provides hook handlers—start.sh, end.sh, compact.sh, and init-guard.sh—that execute automatically during session lifecycle events, supporting both automated and manual session management workflows.

How does session-manager prevent context loss during Claude's compact operations?▼

The Skill saves pre-compact snapshots before context pruning occurs and restores them afterward, maintaining your work state and file references through the compaction process without manual recovery steps.

What files does session-manager require to track session state?▼

Session-manager reads state.md and a playbook file to initialize context, records last_start and last_end timestamps, and enforces access to critical files before work begins, ensuring consistent session initialization.
