Save Handoff
This lets you create a checkpoint summary of your Cursor session that you can resume later, but only when you explicitly ask for it. Under the hood it tries to use `nmem` to save a structured handoff with your goals, decisions, modified files, and next steps. The author is refreshingly honest here: Cursor doesn't have real thread import yet, so this isn't saving your actual transcript. It's more like leaving yourself a good sticky note about where you left off. If `nmem` isn't installed, it just tells you that instead of faking it. Useful if you context switch a lot and want breadcrumbs back to your work.

Save Handoff
Persist a compact resumable handoff when the user wants a restart point, summary, or checkpoint.
When to Use
Only activate when user explicitly says:
- "Save a handoff"
- "Checkpoint this"
- "Leave me a summary"
- "Remember where we are"
Never auto-save or suggest saving. This is always user-initiated.
Why This Is A Handoff
This reusable package works across many agents. It must not pretend to have a real transcript importer when the runtime may not provide one.
So this skill creates a structured handoff summary with nmem t create instead of claiming a lossless thread save.
If the user's tool has a dedicated Nowledge connector with real thread import, prefer that native package instead.
Usage
Create a structured handoff thread:
nmem --json t create -t "Session Handoff - <topic>" -c "Goal: ... Decisions: ... Files: ... Risks: ... Next: ..." -s generic-agent
Handoff Format
Include these fields:
- Goal
- Decisions
- Files
- Risks
- Next
Response Format
After successful save:
✓ Handoff saved
Title: {title}
Summary: {content}
Thread ID: {thread_id}
Never present this as a real transcript import.
