SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps developers reclaim focus by automatically interpreting recent work context from memory and surfacing the single most relevant next action.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Infers intent from recent session journals, open todos, and active plans.
  • Proposes and executes the next concrete action with minimal prompts, speeding up task resumption.
  • Works during Start Session or after breaks to maintain momentum across coding sessions.

Quick Start

Say "act" to fetch the next action based on your recent activity and confirm the proposed action to execute it now.

FAQPage Schema
How do I infer context and resume a coding session after a break?

To infer context and resume a coding session after a break, the system reads recent session journals and open todos to propose the single most relevant next action for execution upon your confirmation.

What is the best way to determine the next action for an active workflow?

The best way to determine the next action for an active workflow is to analyze active work artifacts like plans and todo lists. This mechanism identifies the next best action by reading recent context and waiting for user confirmation to execute it.

Do I need specific memory files to automate task resumption?

Yes, you need specific memory files to automate task resumption. This mechanism requires access to memory sources including session_journal.md, todo.md, and the plans/ directory to infer current context and propose the next action.

Can I use session journals and todos for planning across multiple projects?

Yes, you can use session journals and todos for planning across multiple projects. The system applies during resumed sessions or after breaks to interpret recent work context and surface concrete actions to maintain momentum across coding sessions.

How do I execute a proposed action during a resumed development session?

To execute a proposed action during a resumed development session, simply confirm the action surfaced by the inference mechanism. It fetches the next action based on your recent activity and executes it immediately upon your approval.

When should I not use automated context inference for debugging?

You should not use automated context inference for debugging when your memory sources are empty or outdated. The mechanism relies entirely on reading recent session journals, open todos, and active plans to accurately identify the next best action.
