FAQPage Schema
How do I rehydrate context quickly when starting a new development session?

To rehydrate context, aggregate handoff notes, git status, CI/PR results, and tmux sessions into a concise action plan. This startup process reads AGENTS.md pointers and inspects local repo state to outline your next two to three steps.

What is the best way to track git status and PR state during a developer handoff?

Tracking git status and PR state during a handoff involves inspecting local commits, current branches, and associated PR/MR data across GitHub or GitLab. This approach surfaces CI failures and review feedback directly within your aggregated startup context.

Can I capture existing tmux sessions when resuming work on a repository?

Yes, you can list and attach to or capture output from existing tmux sessions when resuming work. This tmux integration runs alongside git status checks and handoff note aggregation to form a complete picture of your previous development environment.

Do I need AGENTS.md and handoff notes to use a context rehydration tool?

You need AGENTS.md and handoff notes to align context during context rehydration. The tool requires access to these pointers alongside git status, PR/MR data, and tmux session information to successfully assemble a clear plan of next steps.

How does aggregating CI/PR status across GitHub or GitLab help with morning bootups?

Aggregating CI/PR status across GitHub or GitLab during morning bootups surfaces build failures and review blockers immediately. This CI/PR aggregation combines with git status and tmux session data to propose initial actions and prioritize your daily development tasks.
