Save Current Context

Create a markdown file capturing the current conversation's understanding, progress, and learnings so a future AI agent can continue the work with zero prior context.

Context Source

Derive all content from the current conversation history. Do not ask the user for input or a summary — read the conversation directly.

If the user provided additional direction (e.g., "focus on the API design decisions" or "emphasize the open questions"), weight the output toward that area.

Output File

Write the file to context-{YYYY-MM-DD}.md in the current working directory, using today's date, unless the user specifies a different path or filename.

Use the Write tool to create the file.

Process

1. Think through the conversation using a scratchpad before writing:

   • What are the most critical pieces of information a future agent would need?
   • What has been accomplished vs. what remains?
   • What decisions were made, and why?
   • What can be condensed without losing essential meaning?
   • Has the user given direction about what to focus on?

2. Write the file with the structure below.

3. Tell the user the file path.

Output File Structure

Include these sections:

1. Summary — Brief overview of what has been accomplished and the current state
2. Key Learnings — Important insights, patterns, or discoveries made
3. Background Context — Essential information needed to understand the situation
4. Current Progress — What has been completed and what stage things are at
5. Open Questions / Challenges — Unresolved issues or areas needing attention
6. Next Steps — Clear, actionable guidance on what to do next

Writing Guidelines

• Be concise but don't omit critical information
• Use markdown formatting (headers, bullets, code blocks where appropriate)
• Write as if explaining to someone who knows nothing about this context
• Focus on actionable, concrete details rather than vague statements
• Avoid unnecessary verbosity while ensuring continuity
