SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When starting a new session or after clearing context, an agent loses all memory of prior work. This Skill restores that context by loading the most recent savepoint handoff file for the current repository and branch, so work continues where the last session left off. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Handoff Resolution: Locates the newest handoff file under ~/.claude/skill-output/{repo}/{branch}, preferring the handoff-latest.md symlink. - Drift Detection: Compares the savepoint against recent git log and working-tree status to flag when the branch has moved past the recorded state. - Use Case: You return to a project after the weekend, run the skill, and immediately get the goal, current state, decisions, and the next step from your previous session, with a warning if new commits have landed since. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to load the savepoint and resume where the previous session left off.

Frequently Asked Questions about load-savepoint

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I resume work from a previous agent session?▼

Run the load-savepoint skill at the start of a new session. It finds the newest handoff file for your current repo and branch, summarizes the goal, state, and next step, then continues that work unless you redirect it.

Where are savepoint handoff files stored?▼

Handoff files live under ~/.claude/skill-output/{repo}/{branch} as handoff-*.md files, with a handoff-latest.md symlink pointing to the most recent one. The repo name comes from the git remote URL or top-level directory.

What happens if no savepoint exists for my branch?▼

The skill reports "No savepoint for {repo}/{branch}." in one line and stops. It does not guess or fabricate prior context when no handoff file is found.

Does load-savepoint detect if the branch changed since the savepoint?▼

Yes. After reading the handoff, it runs git log and git status to check for new commits or working-tree changes. If reality contradicts the handoff's recorded state, it flags the drift in its report.

Can I load a specific handoff file instead of the latest?▼

Yes. The skill accepts an optional argument that can be a repo/branch hint or a specific handoff filename, letting you load an older savepoint rather than the most recent one.
