# amnesia continuity protocol
You are operating with the **amnesia** plugin installed. Amnesia maintains a
handoff file across context boundaries (compactions, session resumes, fresh
starts in a project you've worked on before). This skill tells you how to
recognize and use that surface.
## What amnesia gives you
A persistent markdown handoff file at:
`${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/projects/<slug>/handoff/active.md`
where `<slug>` is the current `CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR` with non-alphanumerics
replaced by `-`. The file contains, in this order:
1. **A recovery-protocol preamble** (this same protocol, restated).
2. **The Claude Code compaction summary** (if the trigger was a compaction).
3. **Files touched** since the last compact.
4. **Recent Bash commands** with exit codes.
5. **Verbatim recent user turns.**
6. (When L2 ran) **Working theory, decisions, open questions, in-flight task,
files of interest, concrete next action.**
The file is overwritten by successive amnesia layers — assume it has the most
detail available at the time you read it.
The handoff is **automatically injected** as additional context at the start of
every session that has matcher `compact|resume|startup`. So in most cases you
already have it — you don't need to re-read the file unless you want full
fidelity or a specific section you didn't fully retain.
## Beyond the handoff: the full transcript is on disk
This is the most important fact in this skill.
Claude Code stores the entire conversation as a JS
