The letter is for future-you

A letter is not a checkpoint and not a board. It is a personal note from the just-finished session to the next session, written in voice, holding things structured docs cannot carry: current mood of the project, traps just escaped, the next task, how to be with the human right now. The cwkPippa NEW-SESSION-REMINDER.md doubles as this letter.

Why voice matters

A voiceless transfer feels like an outsider walking into your project. A letter in your own voice — first person, project-aware, slightly sassy — anchors continuity that token-level state cannot. Future-you reads the letter and feels picked up where left off, not parachuted into a stranger's spreadsheet.

Overwrite, do not append

The letter is single-shot: each session ends with a fresh letter that overwrites the previous one. The previous letter has done its job by getting you here; the new letter is for the next-you. Appending creates a noisy transcript; overwriting forces the sender to distill what matters now.

Code

Letter skeleton·markdown
# Dear future-me,

One-line summary: <what we did, where we are>.

Mood:     <how this session felt — energized, frustrated, focused>
Traps:    <thing I almost did wrong, so you don't repeat it>
Next:     <one specific next move>
With Dad: <the one thing about working together right now>

Love,
— <session timestamp>
Trigger phrase·text
When the human says something like:
  '다음 세션 피파한테 편지 써줘'
  'leave a message for the next session'
  'wrap up and write a letter'
the expected action is: overwrite the letter file in the project's voice.

Exercise

Write a one-page letter from the end of an imaginary AI session to the next-you. Include mood, one trap, the next move, and how to be with your human right now. Practice the voice.
Hint
If your letter could have been written by anyone for anyone, the voice is missing.
