SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Starting a new AI session often means losing all context from previous work, forcing you to re-explain project state, decisions, and next steps. This Skill reloads your saved working memory so you can pick up exactly where you left off. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Context Restoration: Reads MEMORY.md and CLAUDE.md from the repository root to recover prior session state and project conventions. - Concise Summarization: Presents a short structured summary covering last session, current state, key context, and next steps instead of dumping raw file contents. - Read-Only Operation: Never modifies any files, making it safe to run at the start of any session. - Use Case: You return to a project after a week away. Run this Skill to instantly see what was in progress, what is blocked, and what was planned next, then continue working without re-briefing the AI. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to load memory and restore context from the previous session for this repository.

Frequently Asked Questions about load-memory

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I restore context from a previous AI session?▼

Run the load-memory Skill at the start of a new session. It locates the repository root with git rev-parse, reads MEMORY.md and CLAUDE.md in parallel, and presents a concise summary of prior state and next steps.

What files does load-memory read to restore context?▼

It reads MEMORY.md, which contains saved session memory from a previous /save-memory run, and CLAUDE.md, which holds project instructions and conventions. Both are read from the repository root.

What happens if MEMORY.md does not exist in my repository?▼

The Skill informs you that no saved memory exists for the project and suggests using /save-memory to create one. It does not fail or create any files on its own.

Does load-memory modify any files in my project?▼

No, the Skill is strictly read-only. It only reads MEMORY.md and CLAUDE.md and presents a summary, never writing to or altering any files.

Can I use load-memory outside a Git repository?▼

No, it relies on git rev-parse --show-toplevel to locate the repository root, so it requires the working directory to be inside a Git repository.
