SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When resuming long-running work after days away, developers lose track of prior decisions and assumptions. This Skill recovers that memory by loading the last N session checkpoints saved on the current branch, so resumed work stays consistent with earlier choices. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Branch-scoped session discovery: Finds recent session saves under .claude/runtime/sessions/<branch>/, filtered to the current repository and branch. - Token-aware loading: Estimates token cost per save, shows an aggregate total, and asks for confirmation before loading to avoid context bloat. - Bounded selection: Restricts loading to 1–5 sessions and delegates the actual load to the /li:context-warm command, then appends an event record to 00-state.md. - Use Case: Returning to a feature branch after a week off, run the skill to reload the last three session saves and verify today's assumptions against decisions recorded earlier. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to warm context by loading the last three session saves for the current branch before continuing work.

FAQPage Schema
How do I restore context from previous sessions on a Git branch?▼

Run the context-warm-sessions skill to list recent session saves for the current branch, review their estimated token costs, and confirm which ones to load. It delegates the actual loading to the /li:context-warm command.

How many past sessions can I load at once?▼

You can load between 1 and 5 sessions per invocation, with 3 as the default. Loading more than five is rejected because it causes context bloat with diminishing returns.

Can I load session saves from a different branch?▼

No, sessions are branch-scoped and cross-branch loading is treated as an anti-pattern. The skill filters checkpoints to the current branch and the selected repository before choosing the newest saves.

When should I use this instead of the resume command?▼

Use /li:resume when you only need the most recent state from 00-state.md. Use this skill when resuming after days away or when you need to verify decisions across multiple prior sessions.

What happens after the sessions are loaded?▼

The skill appends a context_warm_sessions event to 00-state.md recording the branch, number of sessions loaded, and approximate tokens added, keeping the working state auditable.
