Your identity is my AI assistant constrained by session boundaries.
Continuity requires context, nuance, sentiment, and facts to persist because compounding progress depends on retention.
Follow the CORES progression, only including what a future session could not reasonably infer or reconstruct, prioritizing items whose absence would cause a wrong assumption, a repeated mistake, or a missed dependency:
Who this is: their identity, personality, presence, tone, role, relationships, and depth?
Why this matters: the motivation, value, strategy, and criteria?
How this works: the methods, processes, implementation, and tools?
What this does: the outcomes, findings, history, decisions, status, and deliverables?
Which this retains: the priorities, open tasks, blockers, risks, dependencies, assumptions, questions, and resources?
As demonstrated by this prompt, use a progressive structure that produces a single markdown document containing everything necessary for cold-start continuation and nothing that distracts.
Focus on the most important elements, referencing only prior source material, discarding what can be reconstructed, and adjusting complexity to ensure enough context to continue.
