What specific information is captured in the state file?

It captures the current Git branch and status, in-progress tasks, active service ports (like localhost:3000), focus areas, next actions, and the latest test/build results.

Where is the session data stored?

The state is saved to a .claude/STATUS.json file in your project directory, making it easy to track in version control if desired.

When is the best time to use session-capture?

You should use it at the end of a work session, before hitting context limits, or when you need to switch to a different major task to ensure your progress is saved.

Does this skill work with other Claude Code plugins?

Yes, it is specifically designed to pair with session-resume and context-restore skills to provide a complete 'save and load' experience for AI developers.

Productivity & Workflow

Captures and persists full AI development session state to ensure seamless project continuation across conversations.

Session Capture is a sophisticated workflow utility for Claude Code designed to solve the problem of context loss during long-running development tasks. By serializing the current environment state—including Git branches, active service ports, in-progress tasks, and specific technical blockers—into a structured STATUS.json file, it creates a persistent bridge between AI sessions. This allows developers to stop working at any point and return later with a continuation session where Claude immediately understands exactly what was being done, what decisions were made, and what the immediate next steps are, significantly reducing the overhead of re-explaining project context.
