FAQPage Schema

How do I automatically save my development context so I don't lose progress after interruptions?▼

Automatic context capture saves your file locations, mental state, and next steps every 15 minutes. This eliminates the 'where was I?' problem by preserving your exact work state, so you can resume in under 5 minutes after breaks, meetings, or context switches without manually reconstructing where you left off.

Can I resume my work exactly where I left off with a single command?▼

Yes. One-command resume restores your precise file positioning, line numbers, and context notes captured during your last session. The Skill reconstructs your development environment state, letting you pick up work immediately without re-navigating files or re-reading your progress.

How does context preservation help with ADHD-friendly development workflows?▼

Context preserver addresses high switching costs by automatically capturing mental state and environment every 15 minutes. For ADHD developers prone to interruptions and breaks, this reduces refocus time from 15–30 minutes to under 5, supporting sustained productivity across frequent context changes.

What dependencies do I need to run context preserver?▼

Context preserver requires git for version control and jq for JSON processing. These tools handle automatic session snapshots and state restoration. Both are standard command-line utilities available on most development environments.

Can I manually save my context between automatic captures?▼

Yes. The Skill supports optional manual saves and WIP (work-in-progress) commits alongside the automatic 15-minute capture schedule. This lets you checkpoint work at critical moments or end-of-day without waiting for the next automatic snapshot.

What happens to my context when I switch projects or take a break?▼

Your context is automatically preserved across project switches and breaks. The Skill captures your current file state, position, and mental notes, then restores them on demand—whether you're returning after an interruption, meeting, or day-end pause.
