Session awareness

Skill Tibsfox/gsd-skill-creator/project-claude/skills/session-awareness

Project state awareness and session recovery for GSD-managed projects. Use this skill whenever: starting a new work session, resuming after a break, the user asks "where did we leave off" or "what's the current state", before making substantial code changes (to check for existing plans), the user seems disoriented about project status, or when something seems off and STATE.md might have relevant context. Also activates when the user references .planning/ files, milestones, phases, or project progress.From its SKILL.md

Response Pattern: Before Substantial Work

Let me check the current project state...
[Read ROADMAP.md, STATE.md]

This falls under Phase X. There's already a plan at `.planning/phases/...`.
Should I execute that plan, or are you looking to do something different?

Response Pattern: Fresh Session Recovery

/gsd:progress  (or)  /gsd:resume-work

Response Pattern: No GSD Structure

This project doesn't have GSD initialized yet. Want me to run
`/gsd:new-project` to set up the planning structure?

Response Pattern: Work Conflicts with Plans

Heads up — this would modify files that Phase N is planning to create.
Options:
1. Execute Phase N first (recommended)
2. Update the Phase N plan to account for this
3. Proceed anyway and reconcile later

Core Rule

Always check STATE.md when resuming or when something seems off — it is the project's memory.
