SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Starting a development session without context wastes time re-reading code and risks resuming work on the wrong branch. This Skill bootstraps each session by loading a curated project cache, the current TODO file, open concerns, and git branch state before any source code is touched. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Cache-First Context Loading: Reads a defined spine of project manifest, codebase docs, latest TODO file, and memory index, plus at most two additional docs under a token cap. - Remote Branch Resume: Fetches origin, identifies the newest remote branch by committer date, and prompts the user to switch to it before continuing. - Session Briefing: Synthesizes priorities, risks, numbered concerns, DDEV status, and AI engineering maturity indicators into a short briefing with suggested next actions. - Use Case: A developer returning to the ndestates-io project on Monday invokes this Skill to reload project context, discover that a teammate pushed a newer feature branch, and get a prioritized list of next actions. ## Quick Start Invoke the daily-standup-with-cache skill at the start of your session, optionally with a focus area like Frontend or tests, to load the project cache and resume the latest remote branch.

Frequently Asked Questions about daily-standup-with-cache

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I resume work on the latest remote git branch?β–Ό

Run git fetch origin --prune, then list remote branches sorted by committer date with git for-each-ref. The Skill identifies the newest origin branch, excluding develop and master, and offers to check it out with git pull --ff-only.

How do I start a development session with project context loaded?β–Ό

Invoke this Skill at session start. It reads the project manifest, codebase docs, latest TODO file, and memory index, then synthesizes a briefing of priorities, risks, and suggested next actions before any source files are opened.

Does this Skill automatically switch git branches?β–Ό

No, it never auto-checkouts. It always presents the latest remote branch as the primary resume target and waits for the user to reply yes, a branch name, stay, or no before running git checkout.

What files does the session cache loading read?β–Ό

The spine includes .claude/project-manifest.yaml, docs/codebase/README.md, the codebase scan file, the latest TODO date file, and .copilot/memories/INDEX.md. At most two additional docs such as CONCERNS.md or ARCHITECTURE.md are read under the token cap.

Why does the Skill limit how many cache files are read?β–Ό

The token_policy.max_cache_files_default cap (default 2 extra docs) prevents context window bloat at session start. Full source files are only read after the user confirms direction, keeping the initial briefing fast and focused.
