Save Handoff
Only use this skill when the user explicitly asks to save progress as a handoff, leave a resumable summary, or create a lightweight restart point.
Why This Is A Handoff
save-thread should mean saving the real session messages through the native Gemini importer.
For Gemini, this skill intentionally creates a structured handoff summary thread instead of importing the full session.
Workflow
- Write a short but useful handoff summary.
- Include Goal, Decisions, Files, Risks, and Next.
- Create a thread with
nmem t create and -s gemini-cli.
- If the user wants the full session instead, use
save-thread.
Example:
nmem --json t create -t "Gemini CLI Session - auth refactor" -c "Goal: finish the auth refactor. Decisions: keep refresh verification in the API layer and treat gateway clock skew as the root cause. Files: api/auth.ts, auth.test.ts. Risks: expiry behavior may still differ in remote sessions. Next: validate remote session expiry end to end." -s gemini-cli
Never present this as a lossless thread save. Never auto-save without an explicit user request.
