The user wants to resume work. Optional cwd override: $ARGUMENTS
Quick start
memory_sessions { "limit": 20 }Pick the most recent session whose cwd matches this project, then: memory_recall { "query": "<session top concepts>", "limit": 10 }.
Expected output:
Resuming 7f3a9c2 "Auth refresh rework".
Open question: should logout revoke all device tokens or just the current one?
Next step: decide revoke scope, then update auth/logout.ts.Why
Match the session by directory boundary, not raw prefix, so a sibling repo never gets mistaken for this one. Never invent observations for an empty session.
Workflow
- Resolve the project path: if
$ARGUMENTSis given, normalize it to absolute
(path.resolve(process.cwd(), $ARGUMENTS)); else use the cwd.
- Call
memory_sessions. Pick the most recent session whose normalizedcwd
matches by directory boundary: equality, OR cwd.startsWith(projectPath + sep), OR projectPath.startsWith(cwd + sep). Prefer completed over abandoned. No match: fall back to the single most recent session overall.
- If the session ended on an unanswered user-facing question, surface it FIRST.
Look in summary or recent conversation observations whose narrative ends in ?.
- Summarize: title/summary, key files, key decisions or errors, using
memory_recall on the top concepts, limit 10.
- End with one concrete "next step?" pointer.
Anti-patterns
WRONG: session.cwd.startsWith(projectPath) matches /repo-a-staging when the project is /repo-a, resuming the wrong repo's session.
RIGHT: session.cwd === projectPath || session.cwd.startsWith(projectPath + sep), a directory-boundary check that cannot cross sibling repos.
Checklist
- cwd override resolved to an absolute, normalized path.
- Match used a directory-boundary check, not a raw prefix.
- Unanswered question (if any) leads the response.
- Empty session is reported plainly, with an offer to start fresh.
