What problem does it solve?
Professional Cowork users lose progress and context when tasks span multiple sessions or when a session is interrupted, causing repeated work, missed decisions, and slow recovery; this Skill provides a simple, reliable system to save, resume, and prioritize project state so work continues smoothly.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Stage decomposition: Break any large project into 3–6 clear stages with named outcomes so each Cowork session has a single, focused job.
- Handoff notes system: Create a stage-notes/ folder and a concise handoff-template that records decisions, created files, next steps, and hazards so the next session resumes instantly.
- Recovery pattern: Walk users through surveying existing files, drafting a short recovery note, and starting a fresh session that uses the note to continue from the exact stopping point.
- Context prioritization: Teach what to include (last handoff note, current-stage files) and what to omit (old transcripts, irrelevant background) so Cowork stays focused and efficient.
- Use cases: Planning a multi-day content plan, recovering after Cowork stopped mid-task, or running complex, multi-step workflows that exceed one session.
Quick Start
Start a new Cowork session and say: Read stage-notes/stage-1-done.md and continue from there.
