Your Task

Using the pre-fetched data above, also scan for in-progress indicators:

grep -rn "TODO\|FIXME\|HACK\|XXX" src/ app/ --include="*.ts" --include="*.tsx" --include="*.js" --include="*.jsx" --include="*.php" --include="*.py" --include="*.go" --include="*.rs" 2>/dev/null | head -20
grep -rn "WIP\|TEMP\|PLACEHOLDER" src/ app/ --include="*.ts" --include="*.tsx" --include="*.js" --include="*.jsx" --include="*.php" --include="*.py" --include="*.go" --include="*.rs" 2>/dev/null | head -10

Also read the project CLAUDE.md and CHANGELOG.md if they exist.

Then generate this briefing:

# Project Resume: [PROJECT NAME]
## Generated: [DATE]

## Where We Left Off
[2-3 sentence narrative. What was being worked on? Completed or mid-stream?]

## Current State
- **Branch**: [current branch, clean/dirty]
- **Uncommitted changes**: [yes/no, what files]
- **Stashed work**: [count and descriptions]
- **Open issues**: [count, highlight high-priority]
- **Open PRs**: [count and status]

## Incomplete Work
[WIP items, uncommitted changes, open feature branches, TODOs with file locations]

## Recommended Next Steps
1. **IMMEDIATE** — [unfinished work, failing tests, uncommitted changes]
2. **HIGH** — [open high-priority issues or blocked work]
3. **MEDIUM** — [technical debt, open issues]
4. **LOW** — [improvements, optimizations]

## Quick Start
[Exact commands to resume work]

Rules

• Be specific — file names, issue numbers, branch names
• Prioritize unfinished work over new work
• Uncommitted changes are always priority #1
• Flag anything broken or risky
