End the planning session

Save the Stall planning session so a new chat can continue without re-explaining.

You will learn

  • Why a prompt is not a system if it dies when the tab closes
  • How to save a session in plain language
  • How to open the orkai window and read the plan, milestones, and tasks yourself
  • Why the next lesson starts in a new chat

The idea

Architecture, standards, and plans must not die when the tab closes. The prompt is how you talk inside the system. It is not the system. If the next chat has to hear Stall from scratch, we only wrote a long message, not a process.

How sessions work: Sessions.

Do this in OpenCode

Say it like the end of a work day. Any of these is enough. OpenCode will save the session in orkai. You do not fill in a template.

Save the session, I will continue in a new one.
Let's save the session, we are done for today.
Let's save the session to continue the implementation later.
  1. Paste one of the lines above.
  2. Then open the orkai window and read the plan there. Do not skip this. The next chat is still a new one. The old conversation is not the memory. orkai is.

Open the orkai window

OpenCode saved the session. Now look at it as you would a board on the wall. Run orkai open if the window is not already open (daemon must be running). More detail: orkai open.

orkai open
  1. In the project dropdown, select Stall (this project).
  2. Open Project Manager. You should see the plan, its milestones, and the tasks. Read the task text. That is you reviewing the work, not only trusting the chat.

Use this window every day, not only in this lesson. My Work is saved sessions. Workflows is the starter pack roles (Product Owner, Architect, Feature Planner, Fullstack Developer). If you skipped the starter pack at orkai init, install it here before the next lesson.

Recap

You saved. You opened orkai and read the plan on the board. The next chat can pick up Stall without hearing the story again. Implementation is a new session.
