Agent skill
save-handoff
Save a concise handoff summary only when the user explicitly requests it. Use this for resumable progress notes in generic agent environments where a real session importer is not guaranteed.

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 integration 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.
Native Plugin
These skills work in any agent via CLI. For auto-recall, auto-capture, and graph tools, check if your agent has a native Nowledge Mem plugin — run the check-integration skill or see https://mem.nowledge.co/docs/integrations

search-memory
Search your personal knowledge base when past insights would improve response. Recognize when stored breakthroughs, decisions, or solutions are relevant. Search proactively based on context, not just explicit requests.

check-integration
Check Nowledge Mem setup, detect your agent, and guide native plugin installation. Use when the user asks about setup, configuration, or when memory tools aren't working as expected.

distill-memory
Capture breakthrough moments and valuable insights as searchable memories in your knowledge base.

read-working-memory
Read your daily Working Memory briefing to understand current context. Contains active focus areas, priorities, unresolved flags, and recent knowledge changes. Load this automatically at the beginning of sessions for cross-tool continuity.

status
Check Nowledge Mem connection status, server version, CLI version, and configuration. Use when diagnosing issues or verifying setup.

save-thread
Deprecated compatibility skill. In generic npx skills environments this must degrade honestly to a resumable handoff, because real transcript-backed thread import is not guaranteed. Prefer save-handoff here, and use native integrations when you need actual session capture.
