resume-context
ALWAYS use this skill (never memory_search or exec alone) when the user asks about coding sessions, recent dev work, project briefings, or developer notes. Trigger phrases: give me a briefing on [project], what was I working on for [project], show my session briefing, catch me up on [project], show me my notes for [project]. Runs the resume CLI and returns real session data cached in Redis.
Choose how to use this skill
You do not need every option. Choose the path your AI client supports. The stable page stays the same; versioned files are immutable.
1. Native installer
This listing has no registered native installer command. Use the complete package or source fallback below, depending on what your client supports.
Do not guess an installer command or replace an existing version without reviewing the diff.
2. Complete package recommended
Download the ZIP when available. It includes SKILL.md plus the references, security notes and version metadata.
No complete ProSkills package is published for this listing yet.3. Prompt-only
Copy the prompt above when the agent can read the stable page or when you want to adopt the workflow without installing a skill.
Need only the instruction file?
Download SKILL.md only if your client requires a single file. The complete ZIP is safer for a full installation because it preserves the references and release context.
No path installs or executes anything by itself. Your agent still needs access to the project files. Before updating, compare the installed version and review the diff.

resume-context
Never lose context between coding sessions
Ask OpenClaw about any project in plain English · Powered by resume + Redis
Never lose context between coding sessions. Ask OpenClaw in plain English from any channel:
"Claw give me a briefing on resume" "Claw what was I working on for my-app?" "Claw show me my notes for the api project"
You get back a real, LLM-generated summary of what you were working on, what you finished, and what to do next — sourced directly from your local session data, not a memory system.
Demo
Session briefing — "Claw give me a briefing on resume"

Project notes — "Claw show me my notes for resume"

resume running in VS Code — the TUI dashboard alongside your code

How it works
You
│ "Claw give me a briefing on resume"
▼
OpenClaw
│ skill triggered by message pattern
▼
resume-context
│ cache key: resume:show:/path/to/project
▼
Redis
├── HIT → return instantly (<100ms)
└── MISS → run `resume show`
│ calls Anthropic LLM (~12s)
└─ write to Redis, TTL 5 min
▼
OpenClaw
│ "Resume Project Briefing:
│ You're updating docs to showcase the TUI dashboard.
│ Progress: Updated README, replaced VSCode screenshot.
│ Next: Verify ClawHub integration end-to-end."

You
First request: ~12 seconds (LLM call via resume). Every repeat in the next 5 minutes: under 100ms (Redis cache hit).
Install
openclaw skills install resume-context
Add to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:
{
"skills": {
"entries": {
"resume-context": {
"enabled": true,
"env": {

Requirements
| Requirement | Setup |
|---|---|
| resume CLI | cargo install --git https://github.com/nickleodoen/resume |
| Redis | Redis Cloud free tier — takes 2 minutes |
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY | Used by resume to generate briefings |
| Node.js 18+ | For the bridge script |
Usage
Start a resume session in your project before asking:
cd ~/your-project
resume # starts watching your session
Then in OpenClaw:
| You say | What happens |
|---|---|
Claw give me a briefing on resume | Session briefing for the resume project |
Claw what was I working on for resume? | Same |
Claw show me my notes for resume | Project notes for resume |
Claw catch me up on my-app | Session briefing for my-app |
Claw what notes do I have on resume? | Notes only |
Files
resume-context/ ├── SKILL.md — OpenClaw skill definition: trigger phrases + agent instructions ├── resume-mcp.js — Node.js bridge: Redis cache layer + resume CLI runner └── package.json — Single dependency: redis ^4.7.0
SKILL.md teaches OpenClaw when to trigger this skill and exactly how to run it.
The description frontmatter is injected into the model's system prompt — that's what
makes "Claw give me a briefing on resume" route here instead of a generic memory search.
resume-mcp.js is the Redis caching bridge. It checks the cache first, falls back to
the live resume CLI on a miss, writes the result back with a configurable TTL, and
returns structured JSON. If Redis is unreachable it degrades gracefully to live execution.
Environment variables
| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
REDIS_URL | ✅ | — | Redis connection string |
RESUME_CACHE_TTL | ❌ | 300 | Cache TTL in seconds |
RESUME_BIN | ❌ | ~/.cargo/bin/resume | Path to resume binary |
