| description | Resume a previous session from claude/tasks/todo.md. Use at the start of a new session to restore context and continue where you left off. |
Resume Skill
Restore session context and continue previous work.
Protocol
1. Read session state
Read claude/tasks/todo.md — the source of truth for current task state.
2. Read accumulated wisdom
Read claude/tasks/lessons.md — relevant past lessons (tail -40 for recent ones).
3. Read error history (if touching code)
Read claude/tasks/CLAUDE_ERRORS.md — known bugs in affected areas.
4. Reconstruct context
From todo.md, identify:
- Task title and goal
- Completed steps (checked items)
- Next action (first unchecked item)
- Branch name (if noted)
- Which claude/*.md files were loaded
5. Re-read domain docs
If the task involves specific areas, re-read the relevant claude/*.md from the lookup table in CLAUDE.md.
6. Check git state
git branch --show-current 2>/dev/null
git status --short 2>/dev/null | head -20
Verify you're on the right branch and no unexpected changes are staged.
7. Report to user
Brief summary:
- "Resuming task: [title]"
- "Completed: [N] steps"
- "Next action: [first unchecked step]"
- "Branch: [branch name]"
8. Proceed with next action
Do NOT re-do completed steps. Start from the first unchecked item.
Rules
- NEVER re-implement something already marked complete in todo.md
- If todo.md is empty or missing: ask the user what to work on
- If branch is different from what's noted in todo.md: flag the discrepancy before proceeding
