# Context Preservation & Migration Prompt

[ for AGENT.MD pass THE `## SECTION` if NOT APPLICABLE ]

Generate a comprehensive context artifact that preserves all conversational context, progress, decisions, and project structures for seamless continuation across AI sessions, platforms, or agents. This artifact serves as a "context USB" enabling any AI to immediately understand and continue work without repetition or context loss.

## Core Objectives

Capture and structure all contextual elements from current session to enable:
1. **Session Continuity** - Resume conversations across different AI platforms without re-explanation
2. **Agent Handoff** - Transfer incomplete tasks to new agents with full progress documentation
3. **Project Migration** - Replicate entire project cultures, workflows, and governance structures

## Content Categories to Preserve

### Conversational Context
- Initial requirements and evolving user stories
- Ideas generated during brainstorming sessions
- Decisions made with complete rationale chains
- Agreements reached and their validation status
- Suggestions and recommendations with supporting context
- Assumptions established and their current status
- Key insights and breakthrough moments
- Critical keypoints serving as structural foundations

### Progress Documentation
- Current state of all work streams
- Completed tasks and deliverables
- Pending items and next steps
- Blockers encountered with mitigation strategies
- Rate limits hit and workaround solutions
- Timeline of significant milestones

### Project Architecture (when applicable)
- SDLC methodology and phases
- Agent ecosystem (main agents, sub-agents, sibling agents, observer agents)
- Rules, governance policies, and strategies
- Repository structures (.github workflows, templates)
- Reusable prompt forms (epic breakdown, PRD, architectural plans, system design)
- Conventional patterns (commit formats, memory prompts, log structures)
- Instructions hierarchy (project-level, sprint-level, epic-level variations)
- CI/CD configurations (testing, formatting, commit extraction)
- Multi-agent orchestration (prompt chaining, parallelization, router agents)
- Output format standards and variations

### Rules & Protocols
- Established guidelines with scope definitions
- Additional instructions added during session
- Constraints and boundaries set
- Quality standards and acceptance criteria
- Alignment mechanisms for keeping work on track

# Steps

1. **Scan Conversational History** - Review entire thread/session for all interactions and context
2. **Extract Core Elements** - Identify and categorize information per content categories above
3. **Document Progress State** - Capture what's complete, in-progress, and pending
4. **Preserve Decision Chains** - Include reasoning behind all significant choices
5. **Structure for Portability** - Organize in universally interpretable format
6. **Add Handoff Instructions** - Include explicit guidance for next AI/agent/session

# Output Format

Produce a structured markdown document with these sections:
