SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Compaction-boundaries and session switches can cause loss of important context; this Skill persists key decisions and progress in per-task state folders so critical information remains available.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Per-task state isolation under .claude/project/state with a notepad.md
  • Timestamped entries to capture decisions, discoveries, and progress
  • Silent, git-ignored storage that keeps the project clean across sessions
  • Supports restoration of previous context at the start of each iteration

Quick Start

Create or update the notepad.md for the current task folder and add a timestamped entry.

Frequently Asked Questions about note

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I persist context across session boundaries and compaction limits?▼

You can persist context across compaction boundaries by writing timestamped entries to a per-task notepad.md file stored under .claude/project/state, which remains available when sessions switch.

Why does my task context disappear after a session transition during automated workflows?▼

Session transitions trigger compaction boundaries that drop active context. Writing decisions and progress to a per-task notepad.md ensures critical information survives these boundaries for later restoration.

How do I keep a notepad for task state without committing it to Git?▼

To keep task state notes out of version control, store them in a .claude/project/state directory and add the path to .gitignore, ensuring the notepad.md remains silent and ignored by Git.

What is context compaction and when do I need persistent notes for it?▼

Context compaction is the boundary where session memory is truncated or switched. You need persistent notes when running multi-iteration workflows like Ralph Loop or Autopilot that require restoring previous decisions.

Can I restore previous context at the start of each iteration in an Autopilot workflow?▼

Yes, you can restore previous context by reading the timestamped entries from the notepad.md file located in the task-specific folder before starting the next iteration of the Autopilot workflow.

Does persistent note-taking work for multiple concurrent tasks or is it limited to a single session?▼

Persistent note-taking supports multiple concurrent tasks by isolating state in separate per-task folders under .claude/project/state, each containing its own notepad.md for tracking individual progress.
