SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Refresh project intelligence and re-orient on the current codebase. Use this skill whenever the user asks for a recap of the repo, what changed, or where they left off. It surfaces git state, recent changes, and project structure to jump back into work quickly.

Core Features & Use Cases

Check for a warm-start script at ~/.claude/scripts/warm-start.sh and execute it to generate a structured context.
Gracefully fall back to native git and filesystem commands when the script is unavailable, producing a concise project snapshot.
Use during onboarding, after breaks, branch switches, or session restarts to re-establish situational awareness and task focus.

Quick Start

Run the warm-start feature to re-orient on the current repository context.

FAQPage Schema

How do I refresh project context after switching git branches or taking a break?▼

Refreshing project context after a branch switch or break requires summarizing the current repository state. This skill reads git state, recent changes, and key files to produce a concise snapshot that re-establishes situational awareness and task focus quickly.

What's the best way to get a quick summary of recent git changes when resuming work?▼

Getting a quick summary of recent git changes involves analyzing the repository's current state and recent modifications. This skill surfaces git state, recent changes, and project structure to help you jump back into work quickly after a session restart.

Can I use a custom warm-start script to generate structured project context?▼

Yes, you can use a custom warm-start script placed at ~/.claude/scripts/warm-start.sh to generate structured project context. If the script is unavailable, the skill gracefully falls back to native git and filesystem commands to produce a concise project snapshot.

How does onboarding to an existing codebase with git history work?▼

Onboarding to an existing codebase with git history involves reading the repository's current state, recent changes, and key files. This skill provides a concise snapshot of the project to help new contributors re-orient on the codebase and understand where work left off.

Do I need a custom script to get a project context snapshot from my repository?▼

No, you do not need a custom script to get a project context snapshot. The skill checks for a warm-start script at ~/.claude/scripts/warm-start.sh, and if it is unavailable, it falls back to native git and filesystem commands to generate the summary.

Why does my project context refresh fall back to native git commands?▼

A project context refresh falls back to native git commands when the custom warm-start script at ~/.claude/scripts/warm-start.sh is not found. This graceful fallback ensures the skill still produces a concise project snapshot using standard git and filesystem data.
