SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the creation and continuation of session state in the aid’n runtime, enabling deterministic workflow based on branch and cycle context.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create or resume a session file based on runtime admission decisions and current branch topology.
  • Reload and align session context with current state, including active cycles, snapshots, and baseline data.
  • Manage session/cycle metadata and ensure continuity across planning, hands-off, and arbitration scenarios.

Quick Start

Initialize or resume a session by assessing the current branch and preparing a cycle-aware working context.

FAQPage Schema
How do I resume a runtime session while preserving branch and cycle context?

To resume a session, this Skill reloads existing session files and aligns the current state with active cycles, snapshots, and baseline data based on admission decisions. It ensures deterministic workflow continuity across branches and cycles.

What is branch-aware session management for deterministic workflows?

Branch-aware session management maintains continuity and deterministic workflow by creating or updating session files tied to the current branch topology. It handles session and cycle metadata to preserve context across planning and arbitration scenarios.

How do I create a new session state with cycle context for runtime admission?

Creating a new session state involves assessing the current branch topology and preparing a cycle-aware working context that satisfies runtime admission requirements. This Skill generates the necessary session files to initialize this state.

Does runtime session management handle context reloads across multiple cycles?

Yes, runtime session management reloads and aligns session context with the current state, including active cycles and snapshots. It ensures continuity across multiple cycles by managing session and cycle metadata during hands-off scenarios.

Can I use this approach for session management across planning and arbitration scenarios?

Yes, this approach manages session and cycle metadata to ensure continuity specifically across planning, hands-off, and arbitration scenarios. It maintains deterministic workflow by handling branch-aware session files throughout these operations.

When do I need to update session files during a runtime workflow cycle?

Session files need updating when runtime admission decisions change or when transitioning between cycles and branches. This Skill applies these updates to maintain deterministic workflow and ensure session context remains aligned with the current baseline.
