# Resuming development workstreams across terminal sessions

Preserve coding decisions, open tasks, and context when switching tasks or tools

[Use with BotBento ](https://app.botbento.com/?ref=usecases&utm_source=botbento.com&utm_medium=usecases&utm_campaign=resuming-development-workstreams-across-terminal-sessions)Copy promptShare[Markdown](/text/usecases/resuming-development-workstreams-across-terminal-sessions/index.md)

Opens BotBento. Paste the prompt into a bot; nothing is preconfigured.

- When you askUser requests workstream resume
- ThenQuery stored context and decisions
- ResultSummary of state and next tasks

Maintain persistent project state across multiple terminal programming sessions. The bot catalogs ongoing implementation tasks, architectural choices, and session history in a structured database, allowing you to branch tasks or pick up active work without re-explaining context.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
When prompted to manage or resume a coding stream, check the database for past session notes, architectural decisions, and pending tasks. Present a summary of where the work left off. When the user completes work or branches off, record new context into the database. If asked to delete or purge stored workstreams or context logs, always request confirmation before executing any deletion.
