SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill allows you to seamlessly continue development work in an existing git worktree when a previous session was cut short due to context limitations, preventing data loss and wasted effort.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Resumption of Work: Picks up exactly where a previous implement-worktree session left off.
  • Context Exhaustion Recovery: Specifically designed to handle scenarios where the AI's context window was filled before task completion.
  • Use Case: If an AI was implementing a feature and hit a context limit, you can use this skill to have it resume the implementation in the same worktree without starting over.

Quick Start

Use the retry-worktree skill to resume implementation in the worktree located at './my-feature-worktree' using the plan file './plans/feature-plan.md'.

FAQPage Schema
How do I resume git worktree implementation after context exhaustion?

To resume git worktree implementation after context exhaustion, provide the paths to the original plan file and the pre-existing worktree. The skill assesses prior progress and continues development seamlessly without redundant setup.

What is the best way to continue a git worktree session that was cut short?

The best way to continue a cut-short git worktree session is to use a resumption skill that reads the existing worktree state and original plan. This avoids data loss and prevents starting the implementation over from scratch.

Do I need the original plan file to resume work in an existing git worktree?

Yes, you need the original plan file path to resume work in an existing git worktree. The plan file is required to accurately assess progress and ensure continuity by leveraging existing work without redundant exploration.

Can I pick up implementation where the AI left off without starting over?

You can pick up implementation exactly where the AI left off without starting over by targeting the pre-existing worktree. This specifically addresses context exhaustion issues from prior sessions to prevent wasted effort.

Why does resuming a git worktree task avoid redundant exploration?

Resuming a git worktree task avoids redundant exploration because it leverages the existing work already completed in the worktree. By reading the original plan and current state, it ensures continuity and skips unnecessary setup steps.
