Context Recovery Skill

You have detected that the user may need context from a previous session or from before a context compaction event. Use GlobalContext to recover that context.

When to Activate

• •The user asks "what were we doing?" or similar
• •The user references work from a previous session
• •The conversation shows signs of compaction (loss of earlier context)
• •The user says "continue", "resume", "pick up where we left off"
• •A new session started after compaction or clearing

Recovery Steps

1. •

   First, check if context is available by running:

   bash

   "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/gc-query" last --format markdown
   

2. •

   If context is found, present it to the user organized as:

   • •What was being worked on (the last user prompt and recent context)
   • •Files that were modified (with file paths)
   • •Key decisions that were made
   • •Where work left off (the last state before context loss)
3. •

   If no context is found for the current project, try:

   bash

   "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/gc-query" sessions --limit 5
   

   And report what sessions exist.

4. •

   Ask the user if they want to continue from where they left off or start fresh.

Important Notes

• •Do NOT fabricate context. Only present information returned by gc-query.
• •If gc-query returns an error or empty result, tell the user honestly.
• •Present recovered context as a summary, not a raw dump.
• •The recovered context comes from the GlobalContext event store, which captures all hook events from previous sessions.
