FAQPage Schema
How do I archive session context before starting a new task?

To archive session context, run the workflow to save your current session.md to a shelf directory with a timestamped metadata header, prepend it to the backlog in todo.md, and reset the session file from its template for a clean slate.

What is the best way to reset my workflow session for a clean slate?

Resetting your workflow session involves archiving active context to a shelf with metadata, prepending it to your todo backlog, and regenerating session.md from the design template, ensuring a clean slate for new tasks.

How does archiving a session to a todo backlog work?

Archiving a session works by taking the current session.md file, saving it to a shelf directory with a metadata header, and prepending its content under the Backlog section of agents/todo.md before resetting the active session.

Can I recover a shelved session if I need to resume previous work?

Yes, you can recover a shelved session. The archive process provides a restore path that allows you to retrieve and recover sessions previously saved to the agents/shelf directory when needed.

When should I archive my active work session?

You should archive your active work session when finishing a work session or preparing for a new task, allowing you to securely store current context in the backlog and reset for a clean start.
