Lost the thread

“My AI forgets everything between sessions”

Context windows end; work doesn’t. These techniques make continuity a practice instead of a hope — externalized context, handoffs, checkpoints, and recovery when the thread is already gone.

Which version of it is yours?

• Named Checkpoints — about to try something risky, and the good state from an hour ago exists only as a feeling
• Deliberate Context Compression — the ‘summarize where we are’ summary reads well but silently drops the constraints that mattered
• Persistent Context as Files — every session starts with re-explaining the project, or it proposes the thing you ruled out last month
• Recentering Pause — mid-session the answers go adjacent to what you asked, and every correction drifts again a few turns later
• Session Handoff Package — the next session has the files but no idea what was half-finished or what came next
