Hemingway Bridge

Category: General · Sub-category: general-misc · Last updated: 2026-05-21

This skill should be used when the user says "hemingway bridge", "wrap up session", "save my progress", "where did I leave off", "session handoff", "end of session", "capture what I was working on", "pick up where I left off", "PARA handoff", "what should I do next session", or wants to capture session state in a PARA-aware format before stopping work. Integrates with rad-session's wrapup/startup cycle.

From the source SKILL.md

Capture session state using the Hemingway Bridge technique: stop work while momentum is still high, document current status, next steps, and open questions so the next session starts with zero ramp-up time.
