SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When returning to a research project after time away, you lose track of where derivations stopped, which conventions were locked, and what intermediate results were recorded. This Skill reloads the full project state so you can continue without re-reading every artifact manually. ## Core Features & Use Cases - State Restoration: Loads STATE.md, PROJECT.md, and ROADMAP.md, or reconstructs STATE.md from existing artifacts if it is missing. - Derivation History Recovery: Reads DERIVATION-STATE.md, prunes it to the last 5 sessions, and cross-references it against state.json to flag gaps. - Incomplete Work Detection: Finds plans without summaries, interrupted agents, and live execution gates such as first-result or pre-fanout reviews. - Use Case: You return to a turbulence modeling project after a week away and ask where things stand. The Skill restores the checkpoint, summarizes locked conventions and intermediate results, and routes you to the next plan execution. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to resume work on the current research project and show where the previous session left off.

FAQPage Schema
How do I resume a research project after a session ends?▼

Invoke the resume workflow, which loads STATE.md and PROJECT.md, restores derivation history, and presents the current phase, plan, and progress. It then offers context-aware next actions such as executing the next plan or resuming an interrupted agent.

What happens if STATE.md is missing from the project?▼

The workflow reconstructs STATE.md from other artifacts: PROJECT.md for the research description, ROADMAP.md for phase position, SUMMARY files for decisions, and pending todos. After reconstruction it proceeds with the normal resume process.

How does the skill detect incomplete or interrupted work?▼

It scans for PLAN files without matching SUMMARY files, checks the init JSON for interrupted agent IDs, and inspects the active execution segment for pause checkpoints, first-result gates, and pre-fanout review states.

Does the resume workflow handle convention drift between sessions?▼

Yes, it runs a convention check through the GPD runtime CLI after loading state. If locked conventions no longer match CONVENTIONS.md, the mismatch is flagged in the status presentation before any new derivations begin.

What are the limitations of the derivation history restoration?▼

DERIVATION-STATE.md is capped at the 5 most recent session blocks, with older entries archived in git history. Projects predating the persistence mechanism have no history until the next pause creates the file.
