| name | context-continuity |
| description | This skill activates when the user mentions "what was I working on", "continue from last session", "restore context", "what did we decide", "pick up where I left off", "compaction happened", "lost context", "session context", "resume work", "what's the status", "where did we leave off", "prior session", "context lost", or when resuming work after a break. Provides session continuity by accessing bookmark snapshots via MCP tools. |

Context Continuity Workflow
This skill restores and maintains context across Claude Code sessions and compactions using the Bookmark MCP tools.
When to Activate
- User asks about prior session work or decisions
- User wants to continue a previous task
- After compaction when context was compressed
- User reports "losing" context or decisions
- Session start when prior context exists
Restoration Flow
1. Check snapshot inventory
Use the bookmark status MCP tool to check if snapshots exist and how fresh they are.
The status tool returns: snapshot count, last capture time, freshness, compaction count, and current threshold.
2. Restore context
Use the bookmark restore MCP tool to load the latest session context. This returns a structured summary optimized for continuation:
- Current Status: What was being worked on
- Decisions Made: Key choices with rationale
- Open Items: What still needs doing
- Unknowns: Blockers or questions
- Files Changed: What was modified
3. Present and continue
Summarize the restored context to the user. Ask which open item to continue with, or if the user has a new direction.
Browsing History
To list available snapshots and view a specific one:
- Use the
bookmark list MCP tool to see all snapshots with timestamps and triggers
- Use the
bookmark show MCP tool with a snapshot_id to view full content of a specific snapshot
Manual Snapshot
If the user wants to explicitly save context before a break:
Use the bookmark snapshot MCP tool with trigger "manual" to capture current session state.
After Restoration
Once context is restored, continue working normally. The automatic hooks handle future snapshots — no manual intervention needed.
