What problem does it solve? When returning to unfinished work in a new session, AI agents often re-ask the owner questions already answered, redo completed stages, or trust stale handover notes. This Skill defines how to resume work from recorded progress files instead of interrogating the owner or re-deriving decisions. ## Core Features & Use Cases - State verification against the tree: Checks the "Where we stand" section in progress.md against git status and branch history before doing any work, fixing divergences immediately. - Structured progress recording: Provides templates for rewriting the state line, logging decisions with reasons and rejected alternatives, and recording stage revisions without editing the plan. - Handover distrust protocol: Treats session handovers as unverified input, recounting all numbers on the current commit before reuse. - Use Case: A new session opens on branch TASK-142 where three of six stages are done. The Skill instructs the agent to read progress.md, verify the state with git commands, mark completed stages with command-output evidence, and continue with the next stage without asking the owner anything. ## Quick Start Resume the unfinished task on the current branch by reading the task folder's progress file and verifying its state line against the git tree before continuing work.
