FAQPage Schema
How do I restore daily development context and resume unfinished tasks?▼

Daily development context is restored by reading cached state files created the previous day and reconciling git repository status. This generates a morning briefing summarizing unfinished tasks, branch drift alerts, and priority suggestions for efficient work resumption.

What is a morning briefing for resuming software development work?▼

A morning development briefing is a concise summary of pending work, git branch drift alerts, and priority suggestions. It reconciles cached task state against actual git history to provide an immediate overview of project health without manual repository inspection.

How do I check git status and reconcile drift across project repositories?▼

Git status drift is reconciled by comparing cached repository state against actual git history for new commits and local changes. This process inspects branch status and PR updates to identify divergences between your cached context and the live repositories.

Do I need a daily cache file to generate a development briefing?▼

Generating a development briefing requires reading the latest daily cache files to restore your context. These cache files store the saved state of unfinished tasks from your previous session, which is then reconciled with current git repository history.

Can I get priority suggestions and drift alerts for my git branches?▼

Priority suggestions and drift alerts for git branches are generated by running a morning context restoration process. It inspects repository git history to detect divergences from cached state and presents these alerts alongside suggested priorities in your daily briefing.
