Strengths

If the memory system does not exist or you want to start entirely fresh without past references.
Security analysis

Instructions
When this skill is triggered, perform the following steps:
Step 1: Read Current Context
Read the file .claude/memory/current_context.md if it exists.
If the file exists, extract and note:
- Last Updated date
- Active Task description
- What I'm Working On items
- Important State information
- Recent Changes
- Quick Reference items
If the file does not exist, note that no current context is set.
Step 2: Check for Active Plan
Read the file .claude/plans/active_plan.md if it exists.
If the file exists, extract and note:
- Task Name from the title
- Status (Not Started, In Progress, Blocked, Complete)
- Goal description
- Current phase and incomplete steps
- Any blockers or dependencies
If the file does not exist, note that no active plan is in progress.
Step 3: List Recent Sessions (Optional)
List files in .claude/memory/sessions/ directory, sorted by date (newest first).
Show the 3-5 most recent session summaries with their dates.
Step 4: Display Summary
Present a formatted summary to the user:
## Session Context Loaded
### Current Focus
[Summary from current_context.md - what we're working on and immediate goals]
### Active Plan
[If exists: Plan name, status, current phase, next steps]
[If not: No active plan in progress]
### Important State
[Key blockers, dependencies, or conditions to be aware of]
### Recent Sessions
[List of recent session files with dates]
### Suggested Next Steps

.claude/plans/progress.md
Error Handling
- If
.claude/memory/directory doesn't exist, inform user the memory system needs to be set up first - If context file is empty or missing, offer to help create initial context
- Continue gracefully if optional files (plan, sessions) don't exist
