# Save Handoff > Persist a compact resumable handoff when the user wants a restart point, summary, or checkpoint. ## When to Use **Only activate when user explicitly says:** - "Save a handoff" - "Checkpoint this" - "Leave me a summary" - "Remember where we are" **Never auto-save or suggest saving.** This is always user-initiated. ## Why This Is A Handoff This reusable package works across many agents. It must not pretend to have a real transcript importer when the runtime may not provide one. So this skill creates a structured handoff summary with `nmem t create` instead of claiming a lossless thread save. If the user's tool has a dedicated Nowledge connector with real thread import, prefer that native package instead. ## Usage Create a structured handoff thread: ```bash nmem --json t create -t "Session Handoff - <topic>" -c "Goal: ... Decisions: ... Files: ... Risks: ... Next: ..." -s generic-agent ``` ### Handoff Format Include these fields: - Goal - Decisions - Files - Risks - Next ### Response Format After successful save: ``` ✓ Handoff saved Title: {title} Summary: {content} Thread ID: {thread_id} ``` Never present this as a real transcript import. ## Native Connector 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 connector — run the `check-integration` skill or see https://mem.nowledge.co/docs/integrations
