Resume Work

Relative plugin paths in this skill are resolved from this SKILL.md.

Load and display session context to resume work after a break or new conversation.

When to Use This Skill

Proactively invoke when user:

• Asks "what's next?", "where was I?", "what was I working on?"
• Starts a conversation on a non-main branch without context
• Returns from a break and seems to need orientation
• Asks about current task, issue, or progress

Quick Reference

Load Session

1. Get current branch:

   git branch --show-current
   

2. Sanitize branch name (replace / with -)

3. Read session file:

   .claude/sessions/<sanitized-branch>.md
   

Display Context

Show the user:

1. Goal - What we're trying to accomplish
2. Approach - How we planned to do it
3. Next Steps - What's remaining (focus here)
4. Recent Session Log - Last 2-3 entries for context

Example Output

Resuming session for issue/feature-42/auth

Goal: Add user authentication to the application

Approach: JWT-based auth with httpOnly cookies

Next Steps:
- [ ] Add logout endpoint
- [ ] Implement token refresh
- [x] Create login form

Recent activity:
- 2024-01-15: Implemented login form and JWT handling
- 2024-01-14: Set up auth middleware

What This Skill Does NOT Do

• Create new sessions (use memento:session create)
• Update session content (edit directly or use hooks)
• Handle branch switching (handled by the SessionStart and UserPromptSubmit hooks)

Key Rules (from ../../rules/sessions.md)

1. Never guess branch - always git branch --show-current
2. Session = Branch = Issue - 1:1:1 mapping
3. Read session FIRST on resume - before any other action
