SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Losing track of where you left off between coding sessions wastes time re-reading files and reconstructing decisions. This Skill reloads the most recent saved working context so you can resume work immediately, even across branch switches or workspace handoffs. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Checkpoint Loading: Reads the most recent saved state, preferring the current git branch and falling back across branches when none exists. - Session Recovery: Surfaces recent artifacts, active decisions, and the last completed session summary so prior context is not re-litigated. - Read-Only Safety: Operates under a hard gate that only reads saved context files and presents a summary, never modifying code. - Use Case: After a weekend break, ask to resume where you left off and receive a summary of the last checkpoint, open decisions, and suggested next steps. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to restore my saved context and pick up where I left off on this branch.

Frequently Asked Questions about context-restore

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I restore my previous coding session context?▼

Invoke the context-restore skill or ask to resume where you left off. It loads the most recent checkpoint saved on your current branch, falling back to other branches if none exists, and presents a summary of prior work and decisions.

How to save working context before ending a session?▼

Use the companion context-save skill before ending your session. It writes a checkpoint file that context-restore later reads, so pairing the two skills preserves state across sessions and workspace handoffs.

Does context restore work across different git branches?▼

Yes. It prefers checkpoints saved on the current branch, but if none exist it falls back to the most recent checkpoint across branches, which supports Conductor workspace handoffs and branch switching.

Can context-restore modify my code while restoring?▼

No. The skill operates under a hard gate that only reads saved context files and presents a summary. It never implements code changes, making it safe to run at any point.

What happens if no saved checkpoint exists?▼

If no checkpoint is found for the project, there is nothing to restore and the skill reports that no saved state is available. You would then start fresh and use context-save to create the first checkpoint.
