description	Save a concise Gemini CLI handoff summary only when the user explicitly asks. This is intentionally separate from full thread-save, which should use the native Gemini session importer.

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

1. Write a short but useful handoff summary.
2. Include Goal, Decisions, Files, Risks, and Next.
3. Create a thread with nmem t create and -s gemini-cli.
4. 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.
