channel-context-bridge
When a user switches channels (Telegram → Slack, mobile → desktop, personal → work), the new session starts with zero memory of the prior conversation. The user must re-explain context, repeat decisions, and re-establish what's in progress.
This skill writes a compact "resumé card" at session end and injects it automatically as a context primer at the start of any new session — in any channel.
Difference from task-handoff
task-handoff bridges incomplete tasks between agents across restarts.
channel-context-bridge bridges conversation context for the same user switching between channels mid-task.
End-of-session protocol
At the end of any session containing meaningful work, the agent should:
-
Write resumé card to ~/.openclaw/workspace/session-bridge/latest.md
-
The card contains:
- What we were doing: 1-sentence topic
- Key decisions made: bulleted list, max 5 items
- Open questions: things left unresolved
- Next actions: specific steps to take next
- Critical context: anything the next session needs to know to avoid wrong assumptions
- Written at: timestamp, source channel
-
Keep last 7 cards as latest.md, prev-1.md, ..., prev-6.md
python3 bridge.py --write \
--topic "Refactoring auth module" \
--decisions "Use JWT; middleware in /lib/auth" \
--next "Write tests for TokenValidator"
Start-of-session protocol
At the start of any new session:
- Check for a recent resumé card (< 24 hours old):
python3 bridge.py --check
- If found, inject as context primer:
"Picking up from [source channel] at [time]: [topic]. Key decisions: [decisions]. Next: [next-actions]."
- If card is > 24 hours old: surface it but don't auto-inject — ask user if they want to resume
Manual resume
The user can always say "pick up where I left off" — the agent then reads the latest card and resumes explicitly.
python3 bridge.py --resume # Print the latest card in human-readable form
python3 bridge.py --history # Show last 7 cards
