Skill Metadata

Name
context-preservation
Description
State capture and restore across context window compactions. Monitors usage thresholds and serializes quality, task, and spec state for seamless continuation.
  • Serialize current spec state (tasks, statuses, acceptance criteria)
  • Capture quality pipeline state (last lint/format/typecheck results)
  • Save TDD progress (current phase, iteration count, scores)
  • Store context monitor metrics
  • Write to .pilot-shell/state.json

2. State Restore (SessionStart / post_compact_restore)

  • Read .pilot-shell/state.json on session start
  • Restore spec task tracking state
  • Restore quality baseline
  • Resume TDD from last known position
  • Log restoration summary

3. Threshold Monitoring

  • Track context usage percentage (default threshold: 70%)
  • Trigger preservation when threshold approached
  • Calculate optimal preservation timing
