# Session Reset Handler

## Steps
1. **Quick scan** the conversation for any NEW information not already in memory:
   - User corrections or preferences
   - Environment changes
   - New workflows discovered
   - Problems solved with lessons learned

2. **Save to memory** only if genuinely new and durable (skip if already captured)

3. **Save to skill** if you discovered a reusable workflow or solved a complex problem (5+ tool calls)

4. **Stop responding** - the system handles the reset automatically

## Key Points
## Key Points
- Session resets are automatic - no user action needed
- Memory persists across resets
- Don't save temporary task progress
- Don't overwrite existing memory entries unless conversation reveals superseding information
- If conversation was just chit-chat with no substance, skip saving anything
- Never respond to the user after a reset notification - just use tools and stop

## User-Initiated Session Resume
When the user asks to "get back into" or "pull up" a prior session:
1. Search previous session/context using distinctive project names, domains, paths, and issue phrasing.
2. Reconcile retrieved history with current injected memory and any compacted handoff summary.
3. Reply with concrete status evidence: working directory, live service/domain, process/port, tests/build/deploy/commit status, changed files, and screenshots/artifacts if available.
4. Avoid vague "we're up to date" claims unless backed by retrieved context or fresh verification.
5. Do not save completed task progress to memory; use memory only for durable user preferences or stable project facts.

## Pitfalls
- Don't duplicate info already in memory (check current memory state provided in notification)
- Don't save transient task progress
- Don't respond to user after reset notification
- Don't remove/overwrite existing memory entries unless truly superseded
