Create a structured handoff summary when the user asks for a checkpoint. OMP transcript sync is automatic; this skill adds a concise continuation record.

Instructions onlyProductivity & Workflow

AI-generated overview

Creates a structured session handoff summary so a future session can resume work quickly.

What it does: This skill guides the agent to write a concise checkpoint record of a session, covering goal, decisions, files, outcome, risks, and next steps. It shows how to store that record as a thread through the nmem command-line tool. It also explains when a curated handoff is preferable to routine transcript syncing, and how threads differ from memories.
When to use it: Use it when the user asks to save, checkpoint, or record a session, when a session ends with context worth carrying forward, or when complex multi-step work will be resumed later. It is not meant for routine transcript sync.
Requirements: Requires the Nowledge Mem OMP plugin and the nmem command-line tool, plus access to the Nowledge Mem service. It ships no scripts; it is instructions only.

Save Thread

The Nowledge Mem OMP plugin automatically syncs completed OMP conversations as searchable threads. This skill creates a structured handoff summary when the user wants a concise checkpoint for a future session.

When to Use

User asks to save the session: "save this", "checkpoint", "record what we did"
Session ending with important context that should carry forward
Complex multi-step work that a future session will resume

Do not use this as routine transcript sync. Use it only when a curated handoff would help a future session resume quickly.

Usage

bash

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

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

Content Format

Structure the content as a clear handoff. Include only what a future session needs to continue:

Goal: What the session set out to accomplishDecisions: Key choices made and their rationaleFiles: Important files created or modifiedOutcome: What was achievedRisks: Known risks, open questions, or things that could breakNext: Concrete steps for the next session

Example

bash

nmem --json t create \  -t "Session Handoff - Auth Migration to OAuth2" \  -c "Goal: Migrate session auth from JWT to OAuth2 with PKCE.Decisions: Chose Authorization Code flow with PKCE over Implicit for security. Using passport-oauth2 library.Files: src/auth/oauth2.ts (new), src/auth/middleware.ts (updated), tests/auth.test.ts (updated).Outcome: Core flow working, token refresh implemented, tests passing.Risks: Token refresh not tested under clock skew; CSRF state parameter still missing.Next: Add CSRF state parameter, update API docs, deploy to staging." \  -s generic-agent

Thread vs Memory

A thread preserves session structure: goals, sequence, context. A memory distills a single insight or decision. They serve different purposes. Use both when appropriate: save the thread for continuity, distill key decisions as standalone memories.
