# Restart Prompt Skill
What this skill does
# Restart Prompt Skill You have the prompt-for-restart plugin which helps preserve context when sessions need to end. ## When to Use Use `/prompt-for-restart` when: - Context is running low (you notice responses getting shorter or less detailed) - User mentions they need to take a break - A complex task won't finish in the current session - You want to checkpoint progress on a long task - Before switching to a very different task ## Proactive Usage **Be proactive!** If you sense context pressure: - Offer to create a restart prompt - Don't wait for the user to ask - Say: "I notice we're deep into this task. Should I create a restart prompt to preserve our progress?" ## What Gets Captured The restart prompt captures: 1. **Task**: What we're working on (precise definition) 2. **Done criteria**: How to know when it's complete 3. **Progress**: What's been accomplished 4. **Next steps**: What remains, in order 5. **Insights**: Important discoveries that shouldn't be lost 6. **Files**: Which files are relevant (@-references) 7. **Docs**: External documentation consulted 8. **TODOs**: Pending items 9. **Testing**: How to verify the work ## Output Creates `restart-prompt.md` in the project root with: - All context needed for continuation - A ready-to-paste prompt for the new session - Checklist format for tracking ## Best Practices When creating a restart prompt: - **Be specific**: "Implement the save button" not "finish the feature" - **Include paths**: `@src/components/Button.tsx` not "the button component" - **Explain why**: Decisions made and their rationale - **Prioritize**: Most important next step first - **Test hints**: How to verify work is correct ## Example Usage ``` User: "I need to stop for today" Claude: "Let me create a restart prompt to preserve our progress." /prompt-for-restart [Creates detailed restart-prompt.md] "I've saved all context to restart-prompt.md. When you start a new session, paste this: 'I'm continuing work on the MCP server integration. Read @restart-prompt.md for full context. Start with reviewing the restart prompt, then proceed with implementing the credential form.' Don't forget to commit the restart prompt if you want to preserve it!" ``` ## Context Warning Signs Watch for these signs that context is getting low: - Your responses are getting shorter - You're losing track of earlier decisions - File contents you read earlier feel fuzzy - The todo list is getting hard to track - User has asked many complex questions When you notice these, proactively suggest `/prompt-for-restart`.

skill-development
IncludedComprehensive meta-skill for creating, managing, validating, auditing, and distributing Claude Code skills and slash commands (unified in v2.1.3+). Provides skill templates, creation workflows, validation patterns, audit checklists, naming conventions, YAML frontmatter guidance, progressive disclosure examples, and best practices lookup. Use when creating new skills, validating existing skills, auditing skill quality, understanding skill architecture, needing skill templates, learning about YAML frontmatter requirements, progressive disclosure patterns, tool restrictions (allowed-tools), skill composition, skill naming conventions, troubleshooting skill activation issues, creating custom slash commands, configuring command frontmatter, using command arguments ($ARGUMENTS, $1, $2), bash execution in commands, file references in commands, command namespacing, plugin commands, MCP slash commands, Skill tool configuration, or deciding between skills vs slash commands. Delegates to docs-management skill for official documentation.
reprompter
IncludedTransform messy prompts into well-structured, effective prompts — single or multi-agent. Use when: "reprompt", "reprompt this", "clean up this prompt", "structure my prompt", rough text needing XML tags and best practices, "reprompter teams", "repromptception", "run with quality", "smart run", "smart agents", multi-agent tasks, audits, parallel work, anything going to agent teams. Don't use when: simple Q&A, pure chat, immediate execution-only tasks. See "Don't Use When" section for details. Outputs: Structured XML/Markdown prompt, quality score (before/after), optional team brief + per-agent sub-prompts, agent team output files. Success criteria: Single mode quality score ≥ 7/10; Repromptception per-agent prompt quality score 8+/10; all required sections present, actionable and specific.
adaptive-compaction
IncludedAdaptive add-on policy and recovery layer that decides WHEN to compact, prune, snapshot, or fork -- replacing fixed-percent auto-compaction across Claude Code, Codex, and MCP-capable hosts. Trigger on auto-compact timing or damage: "when should I compact", "is it safe to compact now or start a fresh session", "auto-compact fires too early/mid-task", "switching to an unrelated task but the window still has space", "context rot", "answers get worse the longer the session runs", "the agent forgot the plan or my decisions after it summarized", "add a layer on top that manages context without changing the agent", raising autoCompactWindow to give the policy room, or installing/tuning a cross-tool compaction policy or PreCompact hook -- even when "compaction" is never said but the problem is context-window pressure or post-summarization memory loss. Do NOT use to summarize a conversation, build RAG, write a summarization prompt (decides WHEN not HOW), or answer max-context-length trivia.
agent-skill-creator
IncludedCreate cross-platform agent skills from workflow descriptions. Activates when users ask to create an agent, automate a repetitive workflow, create a custom skill, or need advanced agent creation. Triggers on phrases like create agent for, automate workflow, create skill for, every day I have to, daily I need to, turn process into agent, need to automate, create a cross-platform skill, validate this skill, export this skill, migrate this skill. Supports single skills, multi-agent suites, transcript processing, template-based creation, interactive configuration, cross-platform export, and spec validation.
llm-wiki
IncludedUse when building or maintaining a persistent personal knowledge base (second brain) in Obsidian where an LLM incrementally ingests sources, updates entity/concept pages, maintains cross-references, and keeps a synthesis current. Triggers include "second brain", "Obsidian wiki", "personal knowledge management", "ingest this paper/article/book", "build a research wiki", "compound knowledge", "Memex", or whenever the user wants knowledge to accumulate across sessions instead of being re-derived by RAG on every query.
skill-master
IncludedAgent Skills authoring, evaluation, and optimization. Create, edit, validate, benchmark, and improve skills following the agentskills.io specification. Use when designing SKILL.md files, structuring skill folders (references, scripts, assets), ingesting external documentation into skills, running trigger evals, benchmarking skill quality, optimizing descriptions, or performing blind A/B comparisons. Keywords: agentskills.io, SKILL.md, skill authoring, eval, benchmark, trigger optimization.
