Does it support multiple active tasks?

Yes, it will scan the Active section of your backlog and surface all tasks currently marked with the WIP (Work In Progress) state.

What file format does this skill require?

Backlog Resume specifically requires a backlog.org file in the project root, following the emacs org-mode format for task tracking.

How do I trigger the resume workflow?

The skill triggers automatically at the start of a new session if a backlog exists, or when you use phrases like 'what was I working on?', 'resume', or 'where did I leave off?'.

What is the CLAUDE_TASK property used for?

It stores a unique Task List ID that enables cross-session coordination, allowing different agent instances to track and update the same task across time.

Automatically recovers work-in-progress tasks and handoff notes from previous coding sessions using org-mode backlogs.

Backlog Resume is a specialized workflow skill designed to ensure seamless continuity between development sessions in Claude Code. By monitoring your project's backlog.org file, it automatically identifies active work-in-progress (WIP) tasks, extracts crucial handoff notes, and surfaces recent progress updates. This allows both human developers and AI agents to pick up exactly where they left off without losing context. The skill also performs lightweight consistency checks to prevent drift between design documents and task states, making it an essential tool for maintaining momentum in complex, multi-session projects.
