SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

When an AI coding session hits the context limit or is compacted, all active workflow state is lost, forcing you to manually reorient and lose progress on your current task. This skill eliminates that friction by automatically loading the handoff document generated at session interruption to restore your full workflow context.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Handoff State Restoration: Automatically locates and loads the handoff document created when your session was interrupted, surfacing your resume point, next action, and any active blockers.
  • Context Priming: Reads referenced files and your work item's plan and task documents to restore full context so you can pick up work without manual catch-up.
  • Use Case: If you were implementing a new feature and your Claude Code session hit the 85% context threshold, use this skill to instantly load your handoff, see your next required step, and continue work without losing progress.

Quick Start

Invoke the resume-handoff skill to load your pending session handoff and resume your interrupted work from the documented next action.

How do I resume interrupted feature implementation work in Claude Code?▼

Invoke the resume-handoff skill to load your pending session handoff and resume interrupted work. The skill locates the handoff document created at session interruption, reads referenced files, and restores full workflow context from the documented next action.

Does this session recovery tool work with compacted Claude Code sessions?▼

Yes, it works with compacted Claude Code sessions by locating and loading the handoff document generated during compaction. It restores active workflow state by surfacing resume points, next actions, active blockers, and referenced context files from handoff artifacts.

What is a handoff document for AI coding session recovery?▼

A handoff document is a pre-generated artifact created when a session hits context limits or is compacted. It stores your resume point, next action, active blockers, and referenced context files to enable seamless workflow resumption without losing progress.

Do I need the Context Guardian handoff system to use this workflow resumption skill?▼

Yes, this skill applies to interrupted development workflows that use the Context Guardian handoff system. It requires the pre-generated handoff documents from this system to restore lost workflow state for AI coding sessions hitting context limits.

Can I recover context files and task plans after a session is interrupted?▼

Yes, you can recover context files and task plans after a session is interrupted. The skill reads referenced files and your work item's plan and task documents to prime context, allowing you to pick up work without losing progress.
