FAQPage Schema
How do I restore project context when starting a new session?▼

To restore project context, initialize a session by reading the project's next-steps file and git status in parallel, which provides a briefing with the current task and suggested next step.

What is the best way to get a briefing on my current task using git status?▼

Getting a briefing using git status requires concurrent execution of file reads and bash commands to automatically extract the current task and suggest the next developmental step.

Can I focus the session initialization on a specific module or feature?▼

Yes, you can focus session initialization on a specific module by providing a feature hint, ensuring the context restoration targets the desired area of the project.

How do I isolate file ranges for context restoration across multiple sessions?▼

You can isolate file ranges for multi-session context restoration by declaring a scope with `--scope <dirs>`, ensuring the session initialization only reads the specified directories.

Do I need any dependencies to run concurrent file reads and bash commands for briefing?▼

No dependencies are required to run concurrent file reads and bash commands for session initialization, as the skill operates independently to generate the project briefing.
