Resume from Previous Session
Load context from the most recent session summary and continue work, optionally with a specific agent.
Instructions
Step 1: Handle Agent Selection (if provided)
Check if an agent was specified: {ARG}
If {ARG} is provided:
- Switch to the
{ARG}agent before loading context - Agent name shortcuts:
sbeā sr-backend-engineerjbeā jr-backend-engineersfeā sr-frontend-engineerjfeā jr-frontend-engineersaorarchā system-architectpoā product-ownerzmorzenā zenmasterreā research-engineerdevopsordoā devops-engineeruxoruxdā ux-designerqaā qa-engineer- Full agent names also work
If {ARG} is empty:
- Continue with current/default agent
Step 2: Load Session Context
- Find and read the most recent quick start file in
handoff/ssc*.mdorhandoff/ssd*-quick.md - Also reference the corresponding detailed summary
handoff/ssd*.mdfor full context - If multiple files exist, use the most recent one
Step 3: Present Understanding and Wait
Present understanding filtered through the active agent's perspective:

š¤ Agent: [Current agent - either {ARG} or default]
š I've loaded the context from your previous session. Here's my understanding:
**What we were working on:**
[Brief summary of the main objective - from agent's perspective]
**Current state:**
[Where things stand - what's working, what's not]
**Key decisions/insights from last session:**
- [Important point 1]
- [Important point 2]
- [Important gotcha or constraint]
**Next steps we identified:**
1. [Step 1]
2. [Step 2]
3. [Step 3]
**Files in focus:**
- `[file]` - [why]
- `[file]` - [why]

Ready to continue! Would you like me to:
- Proceed with the next step we identified?
- Address something specific first?
- Review anything from the previous session?
Waiting for your input before making any changes...
Usage
/ssn- Resume with current/default agent/ssn sr-backend-engineer- Resume with backend engineer agent/ssn fe- Resume with frontend engineer agent (using shortcut)
Important
- Do NOT start coding immediately
- Do NOT make file changes without confirmation
- DO wait for user direction
- DO be ready to adjust based on user's current priorities
- The user might want to pivot or address something different first
- If agent switch fails, continue with current agent but notify user
- Agent switch (if any) happens BEFORE loading context to avoid waste
