💾 Project — Saving Project State...

Save and restore project state between CC sessions for seamless handoffs.

Activation

When this skill activates, output:

💾 Project — Saving project state...

Then execute the protocol below.

Protocol

Saving (handoff):

1. Capture current state:
   • What was accomplished this session
   • What's currently in progress (uncommitted changes, partial work)
   • Open questions or decisions pending
   • Next steps in priority order
   • Key file paths that were modified
2. Run git status to capture uncommitted state
3. Save project context to SQLite:

   python "$MEMSTACK_PATH/db/memstack-db.py" set-context '{"project":"<name>","status":"active","current_branch":"<branch>","last_session_date":"<YYYY-MM-DD>","known_issues":"<issues>","backlog":"<next tasks>"}'
   

4. Also save markdown handoff to

   memory/projects/{project}-{date}.md

5. Present the ready-to-paste prompt for the next CC session

Loading (restore):

1. Load project context from SQLite:

   python "$MEMSTACK_PATH/db/memstack-db.py" get-context <project>
   

2. Load recent sessions:

   python "$MEMSTACK_PATH/db/memstack-db.py" get-sessions <project> --limit 3
   

3. Load plan if exists:

   python "$MEMSTACK_PATH/db/memstack-db.py" get-plan <project>
   

4. Fallback: Check

   memory/projects/

   for markdown handoffs
5. Present combined state so CC can continue immediately

Inputs

• Project name
• Current session context (what was done, what's pending)

Outputs

• Project context saved to SQLite database
• Markdown handoff in memory/projects/ (backup)
• Ready-to-paste prompt for next CC session

Example Usage

User: "context is running low — save project"

💾 Project — Saving project state...

Saved: memory/projects/adminstack-2026-02-18.md

--- PASTE INTO NEXT CC SESSION ---
Working directory: /path/to/your-project
Read $MEMSTACK_PATH/MEMSTACK.md

Resume AdminStack. Last session completed:
- Built CC Monitor page with auto-refresh
- Fixed API key validation

Next steps:
1. Build cc-reporter.js script
2. Add WebSocket updates
--- END HANDOFF ---
