description	Resume a previous session from context/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 context/tasks/todo.md — the source of truth for current task state.

2. Read accumulated wisdom

Read context/tasks/lessons.md — relevant past lessons (tail -40 for recent ones).

3. Read error history (if touching code)

Read context/tasks/COPILOT_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 context/*.md files were loaded

5. Re-read domain docs

If the task involves specific areas, re-read the relevant context/*.md from the lookup table in .github/copilot-instructions.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
