Where are the session saves stored?

Saves are stored in the .mci file located within your project's .claude-memory session directory, making them accessible across different sessions.

When should I manually use the save skill?

It is best used before risky operations, when you are about to reach context limits, or when you want to ensure a specific milestone is recorded permanently.

What does the save skill actually do?

It reads your current session's state—including your goal, progress, and findings—and appends it to a persistent memory file (.mci) so the context can be recovered later.

What happens if my state.md file is missing?

The skill includes a fallback mechanism that will extract the latest entries from your facts, context, and intent marker files to ensure your progress is still saved.

Snapshots current session goals, progress, and findings into persistent memory to prevent context loss during complex operations.

The save skill provides a manual checkpointing mechanism for Claude Code sessions, allowing users to persist their current task state into a durable .mci file. By capturing the Memory, Context, and Intent (M/C/I) triplet, it ensures that critical project knowledge survives session restarts, terminal crashes, or context window compactions. This skill is particularly useful before performing risky file operations or when working through high-token tasks where maintaining a lean but accurate record of progress is essential for continuity.
