FAQPage Schema
How do I restore project context when starting a new session?

To restore project context, initialize a session by reading the project's next-steps file and git status in parallel, which provides a briefing with the current task and suggested next step.

What is the best way to get a briefing on my current task using git status?

Getting a briefing using git status requires concurrent execution of file reads and bash commands to automatically extract the current task and suggest the next developmental step.

Can I focus the session initialization on a specific module or feature?

Yes, you can focus session initialization on a specific module by providing a feature hint, ensuring the context restoration targets the desired area of the project.

How do I isolate file ranges for context restoration across multiple sessions?

You can isolate file ranges for multi-session context restoration by declaring a scope with `--scope <dirs>`, ensuring the session initialization only reads the specified directories.

Do I need any dependencies to run concurrent file reads and bash commands for briefing?

No dependencies are required to run concurrent file reads and bash commands for session initialization, as the skill operates independently to generate the project briefing.
