savecontext
Persistent memory for AI coding agents. USE WHEN user says "save context", "remember this", "checkpoint", "resume session", "prepare for compaction", "wrap up", OR when starting work on a project that may span sessions.
Installation
Follow the repository instructions for this skill and your agent. Review the files and dependencies before adding it to your workflow.

SaveContext
Save decisions, track progress, and maintain continuity across coding sessions.
Quick Actions
For most requests, use these patterns directly:
| User Says | Do This |
|---|---|
| "save this decision" | context_save key="..." value="..." category="decision" |
| "remember this" | context_save key="..." value="..." category="note" |
| "checkpoint" | context_checkpoint name="..." |
| "wrap up" | See WrapUp workflow |
| "resume [topic]" | Search sessions, then context_session_resume |
Workflow Routing
| Workflow | Trigger | File |
|---|---|---|
| QuickSave | "save", "remember", "note this" | Workflows/QuickSave.md |
| SessionStart | Starting work, "begin session" | Workflows/SessionStart.md |
| WrapUp | "wrap up", "end of day", "checkpoint everything" | Workflows/WrapUp.md |
| Resume | "resume", "continue", "pick up where I left off" | Workflows/Resume.md |
| Compaction | "prepare for compaction", context getting long | Workflows/Compaction.md |
| IssueTracking | "create issue", "track this bug" | Workflows/IssueTracking.md |
| Planning | "plan this feature", "implement [complex]", multi-task work | Workflows/Planning.md |
Examples
Example 1: Quick save during work
User: "remember that we chose JWT over sessions for auth"
→ context_save key="auth-decision" value="Chose JWT over sessions for stateless scaling" category="decision" priority="high"
→ Saved. No session management needed.
Example 2: Starting a work session
User: "let's work on the payment feature"
→ context_session_start name="payment-feature" description="Implementing Stripe integration"
→ Session started (or resumed if exists)
Example 3: Wrapping up
User: "wrap up for today"
→ Invokes WrapUp workflow
→ Saves progress, creates checkpoint, pauses session
Do NOT Automatically
- Start sessions for quick saves (just save the item)
- Run multiple tools when one suffices
- Load full reference docs unless user asks how something works
