FAQPage Schema

How do I save a conversation checkpoint without ending the active session?▼

To save a conversation checkpoint without ending the active session, issue a quick update command. This identifies the current context and saves a lightweight progress log to the daily session file while keeping your session running.

What is the file structure used for logging AI session updates?▼

The AI session updates use a strict file structure enforced by the system. Checkpoints are appended to sessions/YYYY-MM-DD.md for daily logs, and state/current.md is updated only when substantive changes occur during the conversation.

How do I quickly log context state during an AI workflow without interrupting the flow?▼

To quickly log context state without interrupting your AI workflow, request a quick checkpoint. The system saves the current session progress instantly to the daily log file, allowing you to continue your active session seamlessly.

When does the state file update during a session checkpoint?▼

The state file updates during a session checkpoint only when substantive changes occur. If the checkpoint identifies no meaningful progress or updates, the state/current.md file remains unchanged to avoid unnecessary writes.

Does the checkpoint update command require ending the current AI session?▼

No, the checkpoint update command does not require ending the current AI session. It is specifically designed to save lightweight context checkpoints to the log without terminating the active session, allowing continuous workflow.
