What problem does it solve? Starting a work session without knowing the current state of the repository, project board, or prior context leads to duplicated effort, stale branches, and missed in-progress work. This Skill orients you at the start of every session by systematically verifying the environment, repository, GitHub Project board, and memory before any work begins. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Environment and Repository Verification: Checks GitHub CLI authentication, git state, environment variables, and docker-compose development services before proceeding. - GitHub Project Board Sync: Caches project fields and items via the GitHub CLI to minimize API calls, then verifies that issue statuses match actual branches and open pull requests. - Orchestration Resume and Memory Recall: Detects interrupted autonomous orchestration via MCP memory and recalls prior session context to resume in-progress work. - Use Case: You return to a project after the weekend. Run this Skill to discover which issue was In Progress, confirm its branch still exists, verify the project board matches reality, and get a summary of exactly where to resume. ## Quick Start Use the session-start skill to orient me on the current repository state, GitHub project board, and any in-progress work before we begin.
