Manage long agent sessions with checkpoints, context resets, and clear task boundaries so quality does not decay. Use when working with an agent over an extended piece of work.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Agent session management Long sessions accumulate context, drift from the original goal, and carry earlier mistakes forward. Managing them means deciding when to continue, when to summarise, and when to start again. ## Method 1. **Start a new session per distinct task.** Carrying an unrelated history costs tokens and biases the agent toward the previous problem. 2. **Commit at every working state.** Frequent commits make it safe to discard a session that went wrong (see git-workflow). 3. **Summarise and restart when context fills.** A fresh session with a written summary of decisions beats a long one where early context has been squeezed out (see conversation-memory). 4. **Restate the goal periodically.** Long sessions drift, and a mid-session restatement is cheap insurance (see goal-driven-execution). 5. **Externalise state into files.** A plan or notes file in the repository survives the session and is readable by the next one (see agent-blackboard-workspace). 6. **Stop when the agent is looping.** Repeated failed attempts on the same problem will not resolve with another turn, and the fix is more context or a different approach. …

How to install
mdr add amey-thakur/ai-skills/agent-session-management@sha256:ef4430d467285f3aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.819a393, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
