FAQPage Schema

How do I switch the active plan and persist context for a Claude builder session?▼

To switch the active plan, use the builder-set command with an explicit plan name. This persists your choice to .claude/skills/builder/.current-plan, enabling quick context resumption across sessions.

Can I set the active plan automatically based on recent work and file paths?▼

Yes, setting the active plan supports context-based inference. It determines the current plan by analyzing recent work and file paths, eliminating the need for manual context reconstruction.

What is the best way to resume a workflow after switching plans in the builder?▼

The best way to resume a workflow is using the /builder-resume command. It reads the persisted .current-plan file and the plan's state.yaml to load full context and display current status.

Do I need a specific directory structure to manage and set builder plans?▼

Yes, you need the .claude/plans directory to store your plans. The skill interacts with this directory and writes the active plan status to .claude/skills/builder/.current-plan.

Why does my builder session lose context when switching between different plans?▼

Context is lost without persisting the active plan. The builder-set skill solves this by writing the current plan to a local file, allowing later sessions to read the state and resume seamlessly.

What is a builder plan and when do I need to set it explicitly?▼

A builder plan defines the active workflow context. You need to set it explicitly by passing a plan name when automatic inference from recent files cannot accurately determine your intended task.
