To resume Claude Code sessions without losing context, you need state management that loads prior STATE.md files and detects checkpoints to reconstruct incomplete work. This Skill coordinates with the resume-project workflow to provide deterministic context recovery and surface clear next actionable steps automatically.

Checkpoint detection for restoring paused project workflows works by loading the existing STATE.md file and reconstructing incomplete work from saved session history. The mechanism identifies where the previous session paused and uses context-aware routing to direct you to the appropriate next action in your workflow.

The best way to maintain session continuity across multiple Claude Code restarts is to use a workflow that updates continuity metadata after each step. This Skill ensures reliable multi-step task progression by preserving session history and updating state files during deterministic context recovery.

Yes, you need a STATE.md file to restore context from a paused coding session. The context restoration process depends on loading this state management file to detect checkpoints, reconstruct incomplete work, and present the next actionable plan for your project workflow.

To route to the next actionable task when resuming a paused project, this Skill uses context-aware routing after loading your STATE.md and detecting checkpoints. It coordinates with the resume-project workflow located at ~/.claude/get-shit-done/workflows/resume-project.md to surface the next deterministic step.
