Session Save

Preserve continuity between sessions.

Output

Write a dated session note under a project memory location, for example:

.codex-memory/STATE.json
.codex-memory/session_YYYY-MM-DD.md
.codex-memory/MEMORY.md

When Obsidian export is requested, regenerate the local knowledge layer with:

python3 scripts/pfo.py export <project> --target obsidian

Update .codex-memory/MEMORY.md with a newest-first index:

# Memory

- YYYY-MM-DD: one-line session summary -> session_YYYY-MM-DD.md

## Obsidian Links

- [[HANDOFF]]

Update .codex-memory/STATE.json using memory/session-state.schema.json:

{
  "sessionState": "ACTIVE",
  "currentStage": "PLAN_READY",
  "intent": "short user intent",
  "classification": {
    "productType": "saas",
    "domain": "subscriptions",
    "complexity": "medium",
    "requiredModules": ["auth", "billing", "database"],
    "infrastructure": ["docker"]
  },
  "architecture": {
    "pattern": "modular_monolith",
    "backend": "selected backend",
    "frontend": "selected frontend",
    "database": "selected database",
    "auth": "selected auth",
    "deployment": "selected deployment"
  },
  "artifacts": ["PRODUCT_BLUEPRINT.md", "BUILD_PLAN.md", "EXECUTION_GRAPH.md"],
  "completedModules": [],
  "failedValidations": [],
  "blockers": [],
  "nextAction": "begin modular build"
}

Self-validation

Before final output, verify:

• Route, side-effect, and confirmation requirements match metadata.
• Required artifacts or read-only result are explicit.
• Verification, blockers, and next route are stated.

Rules

• Do not store secrets.
• Prefer concise, resume-friendly notes.
• Update the memory index after creating a new session file.
• Keep STATE.json reloadable and machine-readable.
• Use Obsidian-compatible frontmatter, wikilinks, and callouts in .codex-memory/*.md only as additive Markdown; do not put Obsidian-only syntax in STATE.json.
• Keep PRODUCT_BLUEPRINT.md, BUILD_PLAN.md, EXECUTION_GRAPH.md, TEST_PLAN.md, and QUALITY_GATES.md as canonical source artifacts; Obsidian notes are regenerated export copies.
• Do not use /session-save as a substitute for /handoff when another session or role must start from a compact transfer artifact.
• If .codex-memory/ is not appropriate for the project, ask once and use the project-local convention the user chooses.
