Does this skill run automatically?

It is manually triggered using the /work-recover command, though it is also automatically called by the /work-resume command if it detects an old or stale checkpoint.

What happens if my checkpoint is completely different from my code?

The skill will identify the 'Broken State', explain the discrepancy (such as a branch mismatch or unsaved work), and recommend whether to start the step fresh or intervene manually.

Can I use this skill if I haven't committed my changes yet?

Yes. Work Recover inspects uncommitted changes and local file modifications to determine if a step is partially complete or in progress.

How does Work Recover determine the true position of a task?

It compares the session's YAML checkpoint against 'git status', 'git diff', actual file contents, and test results to see if reality matches the recorded progress.

Productivity & Workflow

Synchronizes AI agent checkpoints with the actual filesystem state to accurately resume coding sessions after interruptions.

Work Recover is an essential utility for agentic coding workflows, designed to bridge the gap between an AI's internal task tracking and the physical reality of a codebase. By performing a deep inspection of Git status, file diffs, and test results, it reconciles the last saved checkpoint with current progress. This prevents the agent from repeating work or getting lost after system crashes, long breaks, or session desynchronization, ensuring that Claude always knows exactly where it left off and what remains to be done.
