SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When returning to a project after a break, developers lose track of where they left off, what was completed, and what to do next. This Skill restores full project context so work can continue without manually reconstructing session state. ## Core Features & Use Cases - State Restoration: Loads STATE.md or reconstructs it if missing, so project status is always recoverable. - Checkpoint Detection: Finds .continue-here checkpoint files and detects incomplete work (a PLAN without a matching SUMMARY). - Context-Aware Routing: Presents a visual status summary and routes to the appropriate next command, checking CONTEXT.md before suggesting plan versus discuss actions. - Use Case: You return Monday morning to a feature you paused Friday. Invoke this Skill to reload the project state, see exactly which tasks remain incomplete, and get routed directly to the right next step. ## Quick Start Resume my previous work session and show me where I left off in this project.

Frequently Asked Questions about gsd-resume-work

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I resume work from a previous session?▼

Invoke the resume workflow, which loads STATE.md, detects checkpoints and incomplete work, presents a status summary, and routes you to the appropriate next command based on current project context.

What happens if STATE.md is missing when resuming a project?▼

The workflow reconstructs STATE.md rather than failing. It verifies project existence first, then rebuilds the state file so session continuity is preserved even after state file loss.

How does the skill detect incomplete work in a project?▼

It checks for .continue-here checkpoint files and looks for a PLAN file without a corresponding SUMMARY file. Either condition signals unfinished work that needs attention before starting new tasks.

Does the resume workflow decide the next step automatically?▼

It offers context-aware options rather than acting blindly. Before suggesting plan versus discuss actions, it checks CONTEXT.md, then routes to the appropriate next command based on detected project state.

What are the limitations of session state restoration?▼

Restoration quality depends on how consistently STATE.md, checkpoints, and PLAN/SUMMARY files were maintained in prior sessions. Projects that never recorded state require reconstruction, which may be less precise.
