Compatibility and maintenance

Primary editorial path for this compatibility group. The full instructions and support files remain local so existing installations continue to work offline. This is one shared procedure, not an additional capability. Preserve the callable ID when an existing manifest or client configuration uses it.

Restore project context from current evidence

When to Use

Resume interrupted work, reconstruct a prior decision, or compare a saved handoff with the current checkout. This skill provides a procedure; it does not install a context-restore command, vector database or automatic memory system.

Inputs

Identify the project path, saved handoff/notes, intended outcome and current user constraints. Read the current repository instructions and Git status first. Treat saved notes as historical evidence; validate volatile facts against the current base.

Procedure

1. Locate the latest task ledger and the exact source revision it describes.
2. Read only the referenced files relevant to the pending action. Preserve dirty work.
3. Separate verified completed work, unfinished work, superseded assumptions and

external blockers. A past test run does not validate new edits.

4. Resolve conflicting notes against current code and the user's latest instructions.
