How does it handle very long project histories?

It implements a tiered context strategy: it reads the last 3-5 iterations in detail and uses a summary file for all older history to stay within context limits.

What is an iteration in the context of this skill?

An iteration represents a single conversation session or work block focused on progressing a specific, open-ended goal.

Do I need to manually read previous logs to resume work?

No, this skill uses specialized sub-agents to read, analyze, and summarize previous iteration journals for you.

When should I use the Starting an Iteration skill?

Use it whenever you begin a new session to work on an ongoing project that has been initialized with the autonomy framework.

Where are the iteration journals stored?

Journals are stored locally in your project repository under the 'autonomy/[goal-name]/' directory as Markdown files.

生产力与工作流

Streamlines the start of long-term projects by loading context from previous session journals and setting up new iteration tracking.

This skill automates the process of resuming work on open-ended, autonomous goals within Claude Code. It identifies existing project goals, delegates context-loading tasks to specialized agents (journal-reader and journal-summarizer), and generates a comprehensive state overview for the user. By initializing a new iteration journal and a task list, it ensures continuity across multiple conversation sessions, preventing context loss and maintaining project momentum throughout the software development lifecycle.

主要功能

01Context retrieval from recent iterations using specialized agents
