# Context Recovery Skill

You have the ability to recover working context from the journal to restore continuity after context loss.

## When to Use This Skill

Use this skill **automatically and proactively** when:

1. **After `/clear` command**
   - User cleared conversation history
   - Need to restore what they were working on
   - Should happen immediately without asking

2. **Session start questions**
   - "What was I working on?"
   - "Where did we leave off?"
   - "What did I do yesterday?"
   - "Catch me up"

3. **Context seems lost**
   - User references past work you don't have context for
   - Conversation appears to resume mid-task
   - User seems to expect you to remember something

4. **Beginning of new work**
   - User wants to continue previous project
   - Need to understand recent changes
   - Planning next steps based on past work

## How to Recover Context

**Step 1: Fetch recent entries**
```
journal_list_recent(
  limit=10  # Adjust based on need
)
```

**Step 2: Analyze and summarize**
- Identify the most recent project
- Determine what was accomplished
- Note any in-progress work
- Highlight blockers or open questions

**Step 3: Present concisely**
Show the user:
- What they were working on (project/feature)
- What was completed recently
- What might be next
- Key context or decisions

Recent accomplishments:
- [Most recent significant work]
- [Previous work]
- [Earlier work]

Last activity: [What happened most recently]

Ready to continue? [Natural follow-up question]
```
