SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill rebuilds an accurate, up-to-date project context at the start of a new conversation by reading living documentation, verifying implementation state, and identifying actionable next steps to avoid wasted time and misaligned work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Comprehensive documentation reading: Reads CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md when present and enumerates active plans from docs/plans to determine current objectives.
  • Implementation verification: Launches an Explore subagent to cross-check the codebase against active plans and surface discrepancies, missing implementations, and health signals.
  • Planning and prioritization: Optionally invokes a Plan subagent to recommend prioritized next steps, surface blockers, and estimate effort for immediate actions.
  • Use Case: Ideal for conversation warm-up, onboarding reviewers, or resuming work after downtime to get a single structured summary of active work, recent completions, and recommended next actions.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to reload project context so it reads core docs, verifies the codebase against active plans, and returns a structured summary of current state and next steps.

FAQPage Schema
How do I reload project context from CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md at the start of a conversation?

To reload project context, the Skill reads living documentation like CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md, cross-checks the codebase against active plans, and returns a structured summary of current state and next steps.

What is the best way to verify implementation state against active plans in a docs directory?

Verifying implementation state is done by launching an Explore subagent to cross-check the codebase against active plans in the docs/plans directory, surfacing discrepancies, missing implementations, and health signals.

Can I use subagents to audit my codebase and identify next steps for pending work?

Yes, you can use subagents to audit your codebase; an Explore subagent verifies active plans while a Plan subagent recommends prioritized next steps, surfaces blockers, and estimates effort for immediate actions.

Does project context reloading work without a dedicated docs/plans directory?

Project context reloading applies to repositories with an active docs/plans directory; without it, the Skill cannot enumerate active plans to determine current objectives or cross-check implementation state.

How do I generate a fresh project snapshot for conversation warm-up or onboarding reviewers?

Generating a fresh project snapshot requires reading core documentation, verifying the codebase against active plans, and returning a structured summary of active work, recent completions, and recommended next actions.
