continuation-recovery

Recover missing context by triggering episodic memory search using project name, branch, and task keywords to retrieve prior decisions, gotchas, and preferences not visible in the current continuation. The skill extracts actionable items, updates MEMORY.md if needed, and provides a brief handoff before proceeding.

Conversations lose prior decisions and preferences when the continuation context lacks visible references to completed work or summary markers. Session continuation recovery detects these cues, searches episodic memory for just-in-time recall, and rebuilds missing context without wasting tokens on irrelevant history.

To pick up where you left off without wasting tokens, say "continue where we left off" to auto-trigger episodic memory search. The skill retrieves only actionable decisions, gotchas, and preferences, appends a compact recovery section to MEMORY.md if needed, and proceeds with the task.

Episodic memory search for session handoffs is a just-in-time recall mechanism that queries prior outcomes using scoped project, branch, and task keywords. It extracts only actionable items like decisions, gotchas, and preferences to rebuild missing context efficiently during continuation scenarios.

Avoid automated context recovery when the current conversation already contains the necessary visible context, or when prior decisions, gotchas, and preferences are already captured in MEMORY.md. The skill targets only continuation scenarios referencing completed work not present in the current context window.
