recover-context

Instructions

1. Identify the most recent parent session from the lineage chain (the last file in the chronological list).
2. Use sub-agents to explore (to avoid bloating your own context):
   • If you have the Task tool with subagent support, use the

     session-searcher

     subagent (subagent_type:

     session-searcher

     ) to analyze the most recent session
   • If sub-agents are NOT available, use the

     aichat:session-search

     skill instead
3. Extract the following from the most recent session:
   • What was the last task being worked on?
   • What was the current state of that task (completed, in-progress, blocked)?
   • Any pending items or next steps mentioned?
   • Key decisions made or approaches chosen
4. Also check for associated documents:
   • Issue specs or task descriptions referenced in the session
   • Any markdown files created during that session (check WORKLOG/, issues/, etc.)
   • Code files that were being modified
5. Report back concisely:
   • State your understanding of the task context
   • List any files you found that are relevant
   • Ask the user how they'd like to proceed

Example Sub-agent Prompt

session-searcher

Analyze the session file at [path from lineage] and extract:
1. The last task being worked on (look at the final 20-30 messages)
2. Current state of that task
3. Any referenced markdown files (issue specs, work logs, etc.)
4. Pending next steps or blockers

Return a concise summary.

Constraints

• Do NOT read large session files directly into your own context
• ALWAYS delegate to sub-agents or the session-search skill
• Keep your summary concise - the user knows what they were working on
• Focus on the LAST task, not the entire session history
