save-thread（保存线程）

Save Thread (Deprecated Compatibility)

Preserve the old skill name without pretending a generic skill runtime can always import the real session transcript.

Status

This skill name is deprecated and kept only for compatibility.

Use save-handoff for generic npx skills environments.

Why This Cannot Promise Real Thread Save

A shared skills package works across many agent runtimes. In many of them, a skill can influence prompting but cannot read the host agent's real session transcript through a stable programmatic API.

That means this package must not promise a lossless thread import when the runtime may not expose:

• readable session files
• a transcript/history API
• a native importer surface wired for that specific agent

If we claimed real thread save here, users would believe later retrieval reflects the actual full session when it may only contain a summary.

What To Do Instead

In generic skill environments, treat save-thread as an alias for save-handoff:

• save a concise resumable handoff with nmem t create
• state clearly that this is a handoff summary, not a transcript-backed import
• never present the result as the full original session

When Real Thread Save Is Feasible

Use a dedicated native integration when the runtime has a real transcript importer.

Examples include Nowledge integrations such as:

• Gemini CLI
• Claude Code

In those environments, nmem t save --from <runtime> can read local session files on the client machine and upload normalized thread messages to Mem.

When To Use Which Save Surface

Use save-handoff when:

• you are in a generic npx skills environment
• you want a restart point, checkpoint, or concise continuation summary
• the runtime does not have a proven native thread importer

Use a native save-thread only when:

• the agent has a dedicated Nowledge integration for that runtime
• real transcript import is actually implemented for that runtime
• you want the actual session captured for later search and inspection

Usage In Generic Skills Environments

Create a structured handoff instead of pretending to save the real thread:

nmem --json t create   -t "Session Handoff - <topic>"   -c "Goal: ... Decisions: ... Files: ... Risks: ... Next: ..."   -s generic-agent

Response Format

After successful save in a generic skills environment:

✓ Handoff saved
Title: {title}
Summary: {content}
Thread ID: {thread_id}

Always explain that this compatibility skill creates a resumable handoff, not a real transcript import.

Native Plugin

These skills work in any agent via CLI. For auto-recall, auto-capture, and graph tools, check if your agent has a native Nowledge Mem plugin — run the check-integration skill or see https://mem.nowledge.co/docs/integrations
