SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Losing track of where you left off between coding sessions wastes time rebuilding mental context. This Skill reloads the working state previously saved by /context-save so you can resume a task immediately, even across workspace handoffs or branch switches. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Session State Recovery: Loads the most recent saved context across all branches by default, surfacing recent artifacts, checkpoints, and timeline entries. - Cross-Workspace Handoff: Picks up work transferred between Conductor workspaces without manual re-explanation. - Continuous Checkpoint Integration: Reads [gstack-context] blocks from WIP commits when continuous checkpoint mode is enabled. - Use Case: You return Monday morning after a weekend away from a feature branch. Invoke the skill and it summarizes your last session, the latest checkpoint file, and suggests the next logical skill to run. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to resume where I left off on this project using the context-restore skill.

Frequently Asked Questions about context-restore

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I resume where I left off in a Claude Code session?▼

Invoke the context-restore skill or say "resume where I left off". It loads the most recent state saved by /context-save, including checkpoints and recent artifacts, and summarizes your last session so you can continue immediately.

How to restore context across different git branches?▼

By default the skill loads the most recent saved state across all branches, not just the current one. It echoes the active branch and matches timeline entries to it, so switching branches does not lose your saved context.

Does context-restore work without running context-save first?▼

No. The skill restores state previously written by /context-save or by continuous checkpoint WIP commits. If no saved state exists, there is nothing to restore, so pair it with /context-save before ending sessions.

Can context-restore recover work after a workspace handoff?▼

Yes. It is designed for Conductor workspace handoffs, reading shared checkpoint and artifact files from the gstack project directory so a new workspace picks up exactly where the previous one stopped.

Why was the checkpoint resume command renamed to context-restore?▼

Claude Code treats /checkpoint as a native rewind alias in current environments, which conflicted with the old command name. The skill was renamed to context-restore to avoid that collision while keeping the same resume behavior.
