 "title": "Resume thesis work across new Codex chats",
 "page_title": "How to resume thesis work across new Codex chats with Research Workbench Assistant",
 "summary": "Save checkpoints and next steps in your project so a new Codex chat can pick up where you stopped.",
 "who": "A graduate student working on a thesis or paper with Codex, who starts a new chat and needs the previous progress and open questions back.",
 "problem": "Chat history is not a reliable record of research progress, and re-explaining the project in every new session wastes time and loses decisions.",
 "outcome": "Progress, evidence locations, open questions, and a resume checkpoint are stored as local files in the project, and a new chat reads the checkpoint before loading only what the current task needs.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `python -X utf8 scripts/install.py` from the cloned repository to copy the research-workbench Skill into your user .agents/skills folder, then restart Codex if the Skill is not recognized.",
  "Open your own research project in Codex and send: $research-workbench 请为这个项目初始化科研工作台。先了解我的研究目标，不要编造进展，也不要覆盖已有记录。",
  "After a substantial piece of work, send: $research-workbench 请保存这次实质进展、证据位置和下一步，并更新续接断点。还没确认的方案不要写成已确认。",
  "In a new chat, send: $research-workbench 继续上次研究。先读当前断点，只加载这次任务需要的资料。"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the research-workbench-assistant repo, use the research-workbench Skill in the project at <project-path> to initialize a workbench, save the current progress and next steps, then start a new chat and resume. Expected output: an ACTIVE_CONTEXT resume checkpoint in the project. Verify that unconfirmed plans are not recorded as confirmed.",
