SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Ensures the working session's context is complete and preserved so users do not lose work, proceed with stale information, or begin complex tasks with missing plans or logs. It centralizes checks for active plans, session logs, MEMORY.md contents, backmatter currency, and todo state to reduce interruptions and confusion.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Active plan detection: Detects and summarizes any plan files in .claude/plans/ to confirm an active roadmap.
  • Session log verification: Checks for today's session log in quality_reports/session_logs/ and flags stale or missing entries.
  • Memory and backmatter audit: Reads MEMORY.md and verifies that backmatter chapters (91–95) reflect the current session's work.
  • Todo summary and recommendations: Reports pending versus completed items and provides a concise recommendation if attention is needed.
  • Use Cases: Run before starting a multi-step analysis, after long idle periods to ensure nothing was compacted away, or prior to session close to confirm preservation.

Quick Start

Run the context-status check to produce a Session Health Report summarizing active plans, session logs, MEMORY.md contents, backmatter currency, and todo status.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit Claude Code session health and context state before starting a task?

To audit session health and context state, run a context-status check to summarize active plans, session logs, MEMORY.md contents, backmatter currency, and todo status. This verifies your working context is complete and preserved before proceeding.

How do I check if my Claude Code session log is missing or stale?

Session log verification checks for today's log file in quality_reports/session_logs/ and flags stale or missing entries. This ensures your session history is current and prevents losing work during long idle periods.

What is the best way to verify active plan files and memory before ending a session?

Verifying active plans and memory involves detecting files in .claude/plans/ and reading MEMORY.md to confirm your roadmap is active. It also verifies backmatter chapters 91-95 reflect current work to ensure preservation.

Can I use context auditing to track pending and completed todo items in Claude Code?

Yes, context auditing reports pending versus completed todo items and provides concise recommendations if attention is needed. This centralizes your task tracking checks alongside session log and memory verification.

Does context auditing require external models or dependencies to check session state?

No, context auditing reads local project files like .claude/plans/, quality_reports/session_logs/, MEMORY.md, and todo trackers directly. It summarizes presence, freshness, and recommended actions without invoking external models or dependencies.
