What it does

Project is an agent skill from cwinvestments/memstack. Use when the user says 'save project', 'handoff', or when context is running low and state must be preserved.

Its SKILL.md is about 770 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with SQLite. The repository describes itself as: Structured skill framework for Claude Code. 130 skills, persistent memory, TokenStack compression, localhost dashboard with 3-agent runner, real-time streaming, MCP tools. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

The user says save project
Context is running low and state must be preserved

Example prompts

“save project”
“handoff”
“/project”

Requirements

Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Capture current state
Run git status to capture uncommitted state
Save project context to SQLite
Also save markdown handoff to memory/projects/{project}-{date}.md
Present the ready-to-paste prompt for the next CC session

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 00370ce. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- python
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Project loads about 770 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 29 tokens; SKILL.md has 256 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~29
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~770

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

The full file from cwinvestments/memstack at commit 00370ce, republished under its MIT licence (© cwinvestments). 256 words, ~770 tokens.

💾 Project: Saving Project State...

Save and restore project state between CC sessions for seamless handoffs.

Activation

When this skill activates, output:

💾 Project: Saving project state...

Then execute the protocol below.

Protocol

Saving (handoff):

Capture current state:
- What was accomplished this session
- What's currently in progress (uncommitted changes, partial work)
- Open questions or decisions pending
- Next steps in priority order
- Key file paths that were modified
Run git status to capture uncommitted state
Save project context to SQLite:

Write the payload to a file, then pipe it in with - as the argument. A payload on stdin is never seen by the shell's parser, so a redirection operator inside your prose cannot be read as one.
bash
```
cat context.json | python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/db/memstack-db.py" set-context -
```
context.json contains:
json
```
{"project":"<name>","status":"active","current_branch":"<branch>","last_session_date":"<YYYY-MM-DD>","known_issues":"<issues>","backlog":"<next tasks>"}
```
Also save markdown handoff to memory/projects/{project}-{date}.md
Present the ready-to-paste prompt for the next CC session

Loading (restore):

Load project context from SQLite:

bash

python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/db/memstack-db.py" get-context <project>

Load recent sessions:

bash

python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/db/memstack-db.py" get-sessions <project> --limit 3

Load plan if exists:

bash

python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/db/memstack-db.py" get-plan <project>

Fallback: Check memory/projects/ for markdown handoffs
Present combined state so CC can continue immediately

Inputs

Project name
Current session context (what was done, what's pending)

Outputs

Project context saved to SQLite database
Markdown handoff in memory/projects/ (backup)
Ready-to-paste prompt for next CC session

Example Usage

User: "context is running low: save project"

💾 Project: Saving project state...

Saved: memory/projects/adminstack-2026-02-18.md

--- PASTE INTO NEXT CC SESSION ---
Working directory: /path/to/your-project
Read $MEMSTACK_PATH/MEMSTACK.md

Resume AdminStack. Last session completed:
- Built CC Monitor page with auto-refresh
- Fixed API key validation

Next steps:
1. Build cc-reporter.js script
2. Add WebSocket updates
--- END HANDOFF ---

Can I use Project in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add cwinvestments/memstack --skill project -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/project, .gemini/skills/project, .github/skills/project and .opencode/skills/project in your project.

What does Project need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Project needs the command-line tools its instructions call (python). Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Project access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Project safe to install?

What licence does Project use?

Project is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Project use?

About 770 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Project?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Project: MCP Server Builder (shareAI-lab/learn-claude-code, 78k stars), Copilot Session Failure Analysis (dotnet/maui, 23k stars), RTK Rust Design Patterns (rtk-ai/rtk, 83k stars) and OpenWork Desktop CDP Driver (different-ai/openwork, 24k stars).
