Session Start

Session Start

Quickly resume work by reviewing project status, understanding progress, and identifying next priorities.

Workflow

Step 1: Read Project Context

1. Read CLAUDE.md

   • Extract current phase and last updated date
   • Parse status sections (see claude_md_structure.md)

2. Check for Migration Log (if exists)

   • Read .claude/​MIGRATION_LOG.md
   • Note last migration and any flagged issues

Step 2: Analyze Progress

1. Calculate migration progress

   • Total files to migrate: 9 (from CLAUDE.md migration table)
   • Count completed migrations from status section
   • Identify current file being worked on

2. Summarize task status

   • Count completed tasks
   • List in-progress tasks (current focus)
   • Note any blockers

3. Review recent activity

   • Run: git log --oneline -5
   • Show last 3-5 commits to understand recent work

Step 3: Present Status Summary

Format the summary as:

## 📊 Project Status
**Phase:** [Phase name]
**Last Updated:** [Date]

## ✅ Progress Overview
- Migration: X/​9 files completed (XX%)
- Completed: X tasks
- In Progress: X tasks
- Blockers: [None/​count]

## 🚧 Current Focus
- [In-progress task 1]
- [In-progress task 2]

## 📋 Next Priority Tasks
1. [Next step 1]
2. [Next step 2]
3. [Next step 3]

## 🔍 Recent Activity
[Last 3-5 git commits]

## 💡 Suggested Action
[Based on current status, suggest specific next task to work on]

Step 4: Suggest Next Action

Based on the analysis, recommend a specific next task:

Decision logic:

• If blockers exist → Suggest addressing blockers first
• If tasks in progress → Suggest completing them before starting new ones
• If no in-progress tasks → Suggest highest priority from "Next Steps"
• If migration partially complete → Suggest continuing with next file from migration table

Be specific: Instead of "work on migration", say "Migrate instance.py to vrp_toolkit/​problems/​pdptw.py"

Integration with Other Skills

After presenting the session summary, offer to:

• Use migrate-module if next action is file migration
• Use update-progress after completing tasks (when that skill exists)

Special Cases

First Session of the Day

If CLAUDE.md shows last update was yesterday or earlier:

• Emphasize recent git commits to rebuild context
• Check if any in-progress tasks from yesterday can be closed

After Long Break

If last update is >3 days ago:

• Suggest reviewing completed work first
• Check if environment/​dependencies need updating
• Run tests to verify current state

Clean Slate (No In-Progress Tasks)

If no tasks are in progress:

• Clearly recommend starting the highest priority task
• Offer to create a todo list for the task if it's complex
