SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides project-agnostic guidance to maintain continuity across Claude sessions by recovering context, identifying in-progress tasks, and reconciling state so work can resume without duplicated effort.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Hygiene-first startup: Enforces pre-work checks (git status, backlog review) to avoid losing unsaved work.
  • Context recovery: Synthesizes task state from backlog, CLAUDE.md references, and recent commits to resume work accurately.
  • Structured handoffs: Produces and consumes session summaries to ensure smooth transitions between sessions.
  • Workflow alignment: Integrates with project workflows for resuming in-progress tasks, archiving done items, and handling blockers.

Quick Start

Start a new Claude session with a hygiene-first setup, then load the latest in-progress task and plan the next steps using the included guidelines.

FAQPage Schema
How do I recover context and resume work across multiple Claude sessions?

To recover context and resume work across Claude sessions, use hygiene-first startup checks to synthesize task state from backlogs, references, and recent commits, ensuring seamless task resumption without duplicated effort.

What's the best way to handle task handoffs for in-progress project workflows?

The best way to handle task handoffs for in-progress workflows is by producing and consuming structured session summaries that capture task state, enabling smooth transitions and accurate state reconciliation across sessions.

How do I maintain backlog hygiene when resuming multi-step development tasks?

You maintain backlog hygiene when resuming multi-step tasks by enforcing pre-work checks that review git status and archive done items, allowing you to identify in-progress tasks and handle blockers effectively before continuing.

Do I need a specific framework to perform context recovery for session management?

No specific framework is required because this context recovery approach is project-agnostic, using standard backlog references and recent commits to guide task resumption and state reconciliation for multi-step projects.

Why does my workflow lose unsaved work when starting a new session?

Your workflow loses unsaved work when starting a new session if mandatory startup hygiene checks are skipped, making pre-work git status reviews and structured handoff reporting essential to avoid losing progress.
