SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Work context is lost when you close your editor or end a work session, forcing you to reconstruct progress and decisions from scratch. This Skill captures the current session state into memory so work can be resumed later without losing context. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Session Checkpointing: Saves the current session state to memory before finishing work or closing VS Code. - Resumable Workflows: Preserves progress so a future session can pick up where you left off. - Shared Prompt Definition: Delegates to the prompt file at .github/prompts/save-session.prompt.md, which serves as the single source of truth shared with GitHub Copilot. - Use Case: At the end of a workday on the eShop repository, invoke the skill to checkpoint your progress, then resume the next morning with full context restored. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to save the current session so you can resume this work later.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I save my AI session progress before closing VS Code?▼

Invoke the save-session skill before finishing work or closing the editor. It reads the workflow defined in .github/prompts/save-session.prompt.md and writes the current session state to memory for later resumption.

How to checkpoint progress at the end of a workday with an AI assistant?▼

Ask the assistant to save the session when you finish work for the day. The skill executes the shared prompt workflow that captures your current context so the next session can resume from that checkpoint.

Does save-session work with GitHub Copilot?▼

Yes, the skill delegates to .github/prompts/save-session.prompt.md, which is explicitly shared with GitHub Copilot as the single source of truth. The same prompt definition drives the behavior in both environments.

Where does save-session store its instructions?▼

The operational instructions live in .github/prompts/save-session.prompt.md, not in SKILL.md. The skill file only points to that prompt file to avoid duplicating content across definitions.

When should I not use session checkpointing?▼

Avoid it for trivial or one-off tasks where no continuation is planned, since saving state adds overhead without benefit. It is intended for ongoing work that will be resumed in a later session.
