Ctx
Save and restore session context. Pick up right where you left off, even after interruption.

Effect
Records working state (what you were doing and what comes next) into a resume file. Context survives across sessions, across AI instances — nothing is lost.
When to Use
- At session start (restore previous state)
- At a natural break point (save current progress)
- When switching projects (swap to a different context)
How It Works
Restore
Read the resume file at session start. Instantly know “where did I leave off last time.”
Record
At each break point, update:
- Timeline — what was done (chronological)
- Next Actions — what to do next (prioritized)
- Notes — rationale behind decisions, observations
Switch
When handling multiple projects, maintain a per-project resume. Specify the project name to switch context.
