2 things to look at

no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
0 stars0 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Start a work session. Reads project memory, presents current state, and asks what to work on.

Resume work on a project that uses the .claude/memory/ tracking structure.

Workflow

Step 1: Read current state

Read .claude/memory/MEMORY.md. It should already be @-imported in .claude/CLAUDE.md, but read it explicitly to ensure you have the latest content and the full list of available topic files.

Always read status.md next. Do NOT read other topic files yet.

Step 2: Present a brief summary

Tell the user:

What phase or task was last in progress
What blockers exist (if any)
What the next priorities are

Keep this to a few sentences — not a wall of text.

Step 3: Ask what to work on

Use AskUserQuestion to ask what the user wants to focus on this session. Offer the next priorities from status.md as options, plus a free-form option.

Step 4: Load relevant context

Based on what the user picks, read topic files on demand:

spec.md — if the work involves scope or goal questions
plan.md — if the work involves planning or phase decisions
.claude/memory/features/<feature>/ — if working on a specific feature (project mode)
.claude/memory/tasks/<task> file or directory — if working on a specific task (workspace mode)
decisions.md — if the work involves architectural choices
lessons.md and tools.md — if starting something where past lessons are relevant

Do NOT read all files speculatively. Only load what is relevant to the chosen work item.

Step 5: Set up tasks

If the work item is implementation, use TaskCreate to decompose it into concrete coding steps. Present the task breakdown for approval before starting.

If the work item is research, planning, or spec refinement, proceed conversationally.
