SAIPEN

**Continuation protocol for AI coding agents.** Project memory lives in plain Markdown files inside the project (`.saipen/`), so any compatible cold agent — no chat history, no session memory — can run `/saipen continue`, read the persisted `next_action`, and resume work without asking the user to re-explain anything. State belongs to the project, not to one model vendor's memory.

**One command to resume. Plain-file state. Machine-checked contracts.**

The repository validates itself on every push; install, state, checks, and uninstall are all local — no cloud service, no daemon, no database.

**Shortcut keys.** A shortcut is the whole message, never a prefix: `cc` continues, `sss` reports status, `ss` stops; Cyrillic twins `сс`, `ссс`, `аа`, `ее`, `еее`, `рр` work too. [Full 19-key map](saipen/CORE.md#110-command-surface). `ff` → `focus`; `xx` → `cut`; `vv` → `build`; `zz` → `undo`.
