combined

Restore saved project context, architectural decisions, and work state. Use when resuming interrupted work, retrieving prior context, or merging context across sessions. Resume interrupted project work from a handoff and current checkout evidence; reconcile completed work, pending changes and existing user constraints.

When to use

• Working on context restoration: advanced semantic memory rehydration tasks or workflows
• Needing guidance, best practices, or checklists for context restoration: advanced semantic memory rehydration
• Resume interrupted work, reconstruct a prior decision, or compare a saved handoff with the current checkout. This skill provides a procedure; it does not install a `context-restore` command, vector database or automatic memory system.

When not to use

• The task is unrelated to context restoration: advanced semantic memory rehydration
• You need a different domain or tool outside this scope
• A summary loses detail and may be stale. Semantic similarity is retrieval assistance, not proof of truth or permission. A checksum binds bytes, not factual accuracy. No embeddings, signatures, merge engine or external storage client are bu…

Conflict

The two copies describe fundamentally different procedures for the same skill name. The first copy (rmyndharis) describes a complex, tool-dependent system involving vector databases, semantic embeddings, token budgets, and cryptographic signatures. The second copy (sickn33) explicitly rejects this approach, stating it 'does not install a context-restore command, vector database or automatic memory system' and instead provides a manual, evidence-based procedure for reconciling handoff notes with current Git state and code. They disagree on the core mechanism (automated semantic retrieval vs. manual evidence reconciliation) and the required infrastructure. Crowning one would hide a valid, distinct alternative approach to context restoration.
