FAQPage Schema
How do I resume a CLI workflow from a saved state file?▼

You can resume a previous work session by loading the most recent state file from the .state directory, which updates the frontmatter to status: active and injects the full context into your conversation for seamless continuation.

How do I load a specific conversation context using a timestamp?▼

Pass the specific timestamp as a parameter to load that exact state file from the .state directory, which then updates the frontmatter with a new timestamp and restores the conversation context.

What happens if the state file for session management is missing or invalid?▼

When the target state file is missing or invalid, the skill provides clear error messages to indicate the problem, preventing the workflow from proceeding with corrupted or non-existent session data.

Can I automatically load the most recent state file without specifying a filename?▼

Yes, when no argument is provided, the skill automatically loads the most recent state file from the .state directory, allowing you to resume your latest session without needing to specify a filename.

Does the context restoration process remember the filename for future state updates?▼

Yes, the skill remembers the filename of the loaded state file after updating its frontmatter, ensuring subsequent state updates correctly target the same active session file for ongoing workflow management.
