SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill restores full project context after interruptions or handoffs by reading the authoritative HANDOFF.md, verifying what was actually completed, and surfacing gaps between the plan and reality so work can continue safely and accurately.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Locate and load HANDOFF.md: fuzzy-match or directly open memory/projects/<project>/HANDOFF.md and prefer the full handoff file over compaction summaries.
  • Verify plan vs actual: validate completed items, check cron jobs and outputs, detect blocked tasks, and assess timeline drift.
  • Identify deviations and persist fixes: classify issues by priority (P0/P1/P2), recommend immediate or deferred actions, and require persistent updates to the HANDOFF.md via save-game.
  • Use Cases: recovering after compaction, taking over another agent's project, scheduled cron checks, and resuming cross-day or cross-week work.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to load game for the specified project, read HANDOFF.md, compare plan versus actual, list blockers, and propose persistent adjustments.

FAQPage Schema
How do I restore project context after compaction or an agent handoff?▼

To restore project context after compaction or an agent handoff, load the HANDOFF.md file from your memory/projects directory and verify completed items against the actual progress to surface gaps and continue work safely.

What is the best way to reconcile planned versus actual progress for multi-day work?▼

The best way to reconcile planned versus actual progress for multi-day work is reading the authoritative HANDOFF.md, validating completed tasks and cron jobs, identifying deviations, and persisting adjustments via save-game integration.

How does project recovery handle deviations and blocked tasks?▼

Project recovery handles deviations by classifying detected issues and blocked tasks into priority levels like P0, P1, and P2, then recommending immediate or deferred actions and requiring persistent updates to HANDOFF.md.

Can I use a scheduled cron check to validate project status and timeline drift?▼

Yes, you can use a scheduled cron check to validate project status by reading HANDOFF.md, checking cron job outputs, detecting blocked tasks, and assessing timeline drift against the original plan.

Do I need a HANDOFF.md file in memory/projects to resume interrupted work?▼

Yes, you need a HANDOFF.md file stored under memory/projects to resume interrupted work, as the recovery process requires reading this authoritative handoff file and prefers it over compaction summaries.

Why does project recovery prefer the full handoff file over compaction summaries?▼

Project recovery prefers the full handoff file over compaction summaries because the HANDOFF.md provides the authoritative context needed to accurately verify completed items and identify gaps between the plan and reality.
