Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Start

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I resume a Claude Code session and restore previous context?▼

To resume a Claude Code session, load the current session context from `.claude/memory/current_context.md` and active plans from `.claude/plans/active_plan.md`. This restores your previous work state, active tasks, and next steps instantly without re-reading past conversations.

What is session context loading and how does it work with project plans?▼

Session context loading reads `.claude/memory/current_context.md` to restore your last known project state, while plan resumption reads `.claude/plans/active_plan.md` to display current progress. Together, they show active tasks, project plans, and logical next steps when starting a new session.

How do I view recent session history in Claude Code?▼

You can view recent session history by loading session summaries from the `.claude/memory/sessions/` directory. This provides a quick overview of past work to help you recall what you were doing before taking a break, without needing to re-read previous conversations.

Do I need specific files to resume work seamlessly in Claude Code?▼

Yes, you need `.claude/memory/current_context.md` for loading session context and `.claude/plans/active_plan.md` for plan resumption. The recent sessions display from `.claude/memory/sessions/` is optional but helps recall past work.

What's the best way to prevent losing context and progress in Claude Code sessions?▼

The best way to prevent losing context is to use session management that loads previous work states from `.claude/memory/current_context.md` and active plans from `.claude/plans/active_plan.md` at the start of each session, ensuring seamless work resumption.
