FAQPage Schema
How do I list all .state files in a git repository to see my work checkpoints?

To list all .state files, this skill enumerates every .state/*.state.md file under the .state directory, extracting timestamp, date, topic, and status into a structured summary table for quick discovery of your progress checkpoints.

What is the best way to resume work across sessions using state files?

The best way to resume work across sessions is to use the generated summary table to find a specific state file by timestamp or topic, which provides a direct resume path to continue your work efficiently.

How does extracting frontmatter from state files help track repository progress?

Extracting frontmatter from state files helps track repository progress by reading filename timestamps and metadata to produce a structured summary, showing the current status and topic of each tracked work session.

Can I use this to find state files by topic instead of timestamp?

Yes, you can use this to find state files by topic, as it extracts the topic field from each file's frontmatter and provides resume guidance allowing you to locate and continue work based on topic rather than just timestamp.

Do I need any dependencies to read .state files and generate a summary table?

No, you do not need any dependencies to read .state files and generate a summary table, as this skill operates independently to locate files, extract frontmatter, and present resume guidance without external components.
