Session Resume

Write resume cards to sessions.md so you can pick up exactly where you left off.

When to use

• End of a coding session (save progress)
• User says "where did I leave off", "resume", "continue", "pick up"

File location

Always use ~/.claude/memory/sessions.md. Never write to a repo-local sessions.md.

Steps — Save

1. Write resume card to ~/.claude/memory/sessions.md

- YYYY-MM-DD — <what you were doing>: <where you left off; next concrete step>

Good resume card

- 2026-04-27 — Fixing Excel export for LDOs: root cause found (missing content-type header in /api/export); next: apply fix in export_controller.py line 142 and test with sample LDO data.

Bad resume card

- 2026-04-27 — Working on bugs: need to continue.

Steps — Resume

1. Read ~/.claude/memory/sessions.md

2. Present the most recent card(s)

3. Offer to pick up from the next step

Rules

• memory.md is index-only. Never put entries in it.
• No secrets, PII, or transient state (open PRs, branch names, uncommitted SHAs).
