Save Handoff

Persist a compact resumable handoff when the user wants a restart point, summary, or checkpoint.

When to Use

Only activate when user explicitly says:

Never auto-save or suggest saving. This is always user-initiated.

Why This Is A Handoff

This reusable package works across many agents. It must not pretend to have a real transcript importer when the runtime may not provide one.

So this skill creates a structured handoff summary with nmem t create instead of claiming a lossless thread save.

If the user's tool has a dedicated Nowledge integration with real thread import, prefer that native package instead.

Usage

Create a structured handoff thread:

nmem --json t create -t "Session Handoff - <topic>" -c "Goal: ... Decisions: ... Files: ... Risks: ... Next: ..." -s generic-agent

Handoff Format

Include these fields:

Response Format

After successful save:

✓ Handoff saved Title: {title} Summary: {content} Thread ID: {thread_id}

Never present this as a real transcript import.
