SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Resume research from a paused GPD session by restoring full context and continuity across derivations, plans, and checkpoints.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Restore STATE.md, PROJECT.md, and DERIVATION-STATE.md into a coherent research context, including active execution snapshots, parameters, intermediate results, and assumptions.
  • Detect incomplete work (PLAN without SUMMARY), interrupted agents, and pending gates; present an informed status and next actions.
  • Enforce derivation history caps and ensure session continuity via CLI updates to maintain synchronization.

Quick Start

Say "continue" to resume a prior GPD session and automatically restore context and guide the next steps.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I resume a paused research session and restore previous context?▼

Resuming a research session involves loading and reconciling STATE.md, PROJECT.md, and DERIVATION-STATE.md to reconstruct full derivation history. Simply say "continue" to restore context and guide next steps.

What happens if my research session was interrupted before completing a plan?▼

The system detects incomplete work by identifying PLAN files without SUMMARY files, interrupted agents, and pending gates. It then presents an informed status with recommended next actions to resume the research session.

How does state management handle session continuity across multiple branches or agents?▼

State management ensures session continuity by cross-referencing state.json if present, validating state continuity artifacts, and updating session metadata via CLI. This maintains synchronization across multiple sessions, branches, or agents.

Are there limits on derivation history when restoring a previous research context?▼

Yes, the system enforces derivation history caps during session restoration to ensure state synchronization and manage context size. These caps are applied when resuming work from a previous session.

Do I need existing .gpd state files to use session checkpointing?▼

Yes, existing .gpd state files are required. The skill applies when continuing a session with existing .gpd state, reading and validating state continuity artifacts to successfully resume work.
