    You say

    I've been working on this auth migration for hours and I'm losing track. Let's start a long-term session to migrate to OAuth2 using Passport.js and initialize our task list.

    Your agent does

    Read CLAUDE.md & memory. Current state: Migrating Auth to OAuth2. Task list initialized:

    1. [In Progress] Map existing user schema
    2. [Pending] Implement provider strategy Saved to project_memory: Decided to use Passport.js for strategy abstraction. Next move on resume: Start Phase 2.

    About this skill

    Keep Your Large-Scale Coding Sessions Coherent

    Are you struggling with context drift during multi-day engineering marathons? When sessions get long, standard AI agents often lose track of strategic decisions or bury important facts in a bloating chat history. This skill transforms your workflow by leveraging Claude Code's native primitives—like TaskCreate, persistent memory, and CLAUDE.md—to ensure your agent stays synchronized with your project's long-term goals.

    What it does

    Instead of relying on fragile manual "handoff documents" that quickly become outdated, this skill implements a rigorous session-management protocol:

    • Strategic Memory: Distinguishes between tactical chat noise and "strategic context" that must be saved to ~/.claude/projects/.
    • Task-Centric Workflow: Uses TaskCreate to maintain a durable, visible record of work-in-flight that survives across sessions.
    • Intelligent Pausing: Executes a "Pause/Resume" protocol that updates CLAUDE.md and project memory so you can pick up exactly where you left off.
    • Decision Guardrails: Triggers Plan Mode at critical junctures to force explicit trade-off analysis before making major code changes.

    Why use this skill?

    Standard prompting often fails when the context window fills up. This skill prevents "memory rot" by using actual filesystem-based persistence. It effectively offloads cognitive overhead from the developer to the agent's internal memory systems, making 40-hour coding sessions feel as organized as the first 15 minutes.
