dr-resume

You are helping the user resume a research project after a session break, crash, or context window reset.

Steps

1. Read Changelog

Read .research/CHANGELOG.md. Find the last entries to determine:

• Timestamp of last activity
• Last completed task ID
• Last status (DONE, FAIL, CHECKPOINT)
• Any session-end summary

2. Find Current Position

Read todo.md. Find:

• The last task marked [x] or [!]
• The first unchecked task [ ]
• Count remaining unchecked tasks

3. Check Phase Status

Read .research/ROADMAP.md. Identify:

• Which phase was in progress
• How many phases are complete
• How many phases remain

4. Print Resume Summary

## Research Resume

Last session: {timestamp of last changelog entry}
Last completed: {task_id} — {task description}
Phase: {phase number} ({phase status})

Progress:
  Completed: {count}
  Failed: {count}
  Remaining: {count}

Next task: {first unchecked task_id} — {task description}

5. Check for Issues

• If last 3+ entries are FAIL, warn: "Last session had consecutive failures. Consider /dr-improve before continuing."
• If there's a CHECKPOINT with "stop" recommendation, show it.
• If todo.md has tasks marked [!], note: "{N} failed tasks could be retried."

6. Suggest Next Action

• Tasks remain in current phase → "Run /dr-run to continue from {next task_id}."
• Phase just completed → "Run /dr-review to validate, then /dr-run for next phase."
• Many failures → "Run /dr-improve to analyze failures and optimize the researcher."
• All done → "Run /dr-report to synthesize findings."

Error Handling

• If CHANGELOG.md is empty or missing, tell the user: "No previous session found. Run /dr-new to start a new project or /dr-run to begin execution."
• If todo.md is missing, tell the user to run /dr-new first.
