From the SKILL.md

<objective> Restore complete project context from a previous session — handling both manual pause (from `/gsd:pause-work`) and auto-compact (from the PreCompact hook) handoffs identically. </objective> <process> 1. **Detect handoff state.** Check for `.planning/HANDOFF.json` via Read tool. If missing, the session has no handoff — announce "No handoff found" and proceed to normal `/gsd:progress` routing. 2. **Load STATE.md.** Read `.planning/STATE.md` to restore the big-picture project position. If missing, reconstruct from `.planning/ROADMAP.md` and the latest phase directory's SUMMARY.md files; if reconstruction fails, surface the error and stop. 3. **Read the handoff.** Parse `.planning/HANDOFF.json`. Extract phase, plan, task, status, source, uncommitted_files, decisions, context_notes, next_action. Per HANDOFF schema, all fields are always present (empty arrays / null for unset). 4. **Present project status.** Emit a compact status block covering: - Milestone + percent complete (from STATE.md frontmatter `progress.percent`). - Current phase name and number. - Plan / task position from the handoff. - Handoff source (manual-pause vs auto-compact) and timestamp. - Top 3 decisions

About this skill
What does the gsd:resume-work skill do?

Resume work from previous session with full context restoration

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add davepoon/buildwithclaude --skill resume-work --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From davepoon/buildwithclaude, a repository with 3,251 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
