FAQPage Schema
How do I resume work from where I left off in a previous session?▼

Resume work by referencing past progress files stored in .agents/progress/ directory. The Skill retrieves your latest session notes sorted by timestamp, letting you quickly recall decisions, pick up interrupted tasks, and continue without losing context.

Can I search through my past session notes to find relevant work?▼

Yes. The Skill supports keyword search across progress files to locate specific context, and optional semantic search via semtools to find related concepts and TODOs from prior sessions, making it easy to discover relevant past work.

What file format and storage structure do progress files require?▼

Progress files must be stored as Markdown (.md) files in .agents/progress/ with timestamps in YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS.md format. This structure enables chronological sorting and reliable retrieval across sessions.

How do I set up progress file storage for session continuity?▼

Create a .agents/progress/ directory in your local environment and store session notes as timestamped Markdown files. The Skill automatically reads, sorts, and searches these files to preserve continuity between work sessions.

Can I perform semantic searches across my progress notes?▼

Yes, the Skill supports semantic search through semtools integration, allowing you to search progress files by concept and meaning rather than exact keywords, surfacing contextually related prior work and decisions.
