Context Anchor

Helps agents recover from context compaction by scanning memory files and surfacing where they left off.

The Problem

Context compaction loses memory. You wake up fresh, unsure what you were doing. Files survive, but you need to quickly orient yourself.

The Solution

Run one command to get a briefing:

./scripts/anchor.sh

You'll see:

• Current task - What you were actively working on
• Active context - In-progress task files from context/active/
• Recent decisions - Key choices made in the last few days
• Open loops - TODOs, questions, and unfinished business

Installation

Already installed if you're reading this. Just run:

./skills/context-anchor/scripts/anchor.sh

Or add it to your session startup routine.
