Details

From the project README

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:

  • "Save a handoff"
  • "Checkpoint this"
  • "Leave me a summary"
  • "Remember where we are"

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 connector 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:

  • Goal
  • Decisions
  • Files
  • Risks
  • Next
Response Format

After successful save:

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

Never present this as a real transcript import.

Native Connector

These skills work in any agent via CLI. For auto-recall, auto-capture, and graph tools, check if your agent has a native Nowledge Mem connector — run the check-integration skill or see https://mem.nowledge.co/docs/integrations
