Progress Context Skill

Provides background context from recent work sessions to improve continuity and avoid redundant work.

When to Use

• •Session start: Read recent entries to understand current state
• •Resuming work: Check what was done previously on a topic
• •Before making changes: Verify the change wasn't already made

PROGRESS.md Structure

Entries are organized by date (newest first) with topic headers for efficient searching:

## YYYY-MM-DD

### Scripts
- Changes to automation scripts

### Content
- New posts, book entries, weekly updates

### Conventions
- New patterns, naming rules, structure changes

### Docs
- README updates, CLAUDE.md changes, skill additions

How to Read Efficiently

1. •Quick scan: Read today's and yesterday's entries first
2. •Topic search: Use Grep to find entries by topic header (e.g., ### Scripts)
3. •Keyword search: Search for specific files or features mentioned

Example searches:

# Find all script-related changes
grep -A 5 "### Scripts" PROGRESS.md

# Find mentions of a specific file
grep "new-week.sh" PROGRESS.md

Updating PROGRESS.md

At the end of each session, add an entry summarizing changes:

1. •Add new date header if needed (newest at top)
2. •Group changes under appropriate topic headers
3. •Keep entries concise (bullet points only)
4. •Include file names for easy reference
