How does this skill help when Claude's context window is full?

It captures the current state, creates a git checkpoint, and defines the next action, allowing you to safely clear the context and resume exactly where you left off by reading the SESSION.md.

What is the difference between IMPLEMENTATION_PHASES.md and SESSION.md?

IMPLEMENTATION_PHASES.md outlines the broad project goals and work units (the 'What'), while SESSION.md tracks the immediate context, current progress, and the specific 'Next Action' (the 'How').

Do I need to manually update SESSION.md every time I change a file?

No, SESSION.md should be updated after significant progress is made, at phase transitions, or when concluding a work session to ensure a clean handoff.

Why is SESSION.md usually shown as an uncommitted file?

This is by design. The workflow typically creates a checkpoint commit, captures that hash, and then updates SESSION.md with the hash, meaning the file itself is always ready for the next session's context.

Productividad y Flujo de Trabajo

Tracks project progress and maintains development context across multiple work sessions using git checkpoints and concrete next actions.

Acerca de

This skill provides a structured framework for managing complex software development projects by bridging the gap between high-level planning and daily execution. By maintaining a centralized SESSION.md file, it allows developers to pause and resume work without losing momentum, providing clear recovery points, git-backed checkpoints, and specific 'Next Action' markers to ensure a smooth transition between different implementation phases and context resets.

Características Principales

Simplifies context recovery after large-scale changes or CLI restarts.
Differentiates between work phases (goals) and work sessions (context).
117 GitHub stars
Maintains a dynamic SESSION.md file for real-time progress tracking.
Connects implementation phases to concrete, file-specific next actions.
Automates session handoffs with git checkpoint commits and state summaries.

Casos de Uso

Resuming work on a multi-day feature build after a break or context clear.
Tracking the Implementation-Verification-Debugging cycle for complex bug fixes.
Managing development state when Claude's context window becomes full mid-implementation.
