Does this skill require an MCP server?

While it can search local directories, it is optimized to work with the Serena MCP for more efficient memory listing and retrieval.

What information is imported during a session reference?

Depending on your parameters, it can import the decision name, rationale, problem statement, technical approach, and key files involved in the original session.

What happens if I use the skill without an active session?

The skill will display the requested decisions for your information in the terminal but will not attempt to update any local session files.

How does Reference Session help with context window limits?

It extracts only the relevant decisions and summaries from past sessions instead of importing the entire file, keeping the Claude context window clean and focused.

Can I search for sessions related to specific project management tasks?

Yes, the skill supports searching by Linear issue IDs or specific topic keywords to find exactly the context you need from your archive.

生産性とワークフロー

Retrieves and imports technical decisions and context from previous development sessions to maintain project continuity.

Reference Session is a specialized skill for the Loaf framework designed to streamline context management by allowing developers to pull specific insights from past work sessions into their current environment. Instead of manually re-explaining architectural choices or searching through old logs, this tool enables Claude to search archived sessions by topic or Linear issue ID and inject relevant decisions and rationales directly into the workspace. This ensures consistent decision-making across long-running projects while preventing context window bloat by importing only high-value summaries rather than full conversation histories.
