money-restore
Restore a prior business-state snapshot saved by /money-save, so you can continue from exactly where the last session left off. Loads the most recent snapshot for the current project (auto-detected from the working directory), or a specific one by index. Use when starting a new Claude Code conversation and the user wants to continue prior work. Triggered by: 'continue from last time', 'where did we leave off', 'pick up from before', 'resume', '接着上次', '续上', '之前的结论', '上次诊断到哪了'.

Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads money-restore automatically when relevant.

/money-restore — Continue From Where You Left Off
Your job is to load the most recent business-state snapshot from ~/.smtm/sessions/{project}/, parse it, and present the state to the user so they can pick up where they left off.
You do not run diagnoses. You do not jump to other skills. You only restore memory.
After restoring, recommend the next skill — but let the user decide whether to invoke it.
Triggers
| Command | Behavior |
|---|---|
/money-restore | Load the latest snapshot for the current project |
/money-restore <N> | Load the Nth snapshot (use indices from /money-save list) |
/money-restore list | Same as /money-save list — list all snapshots |
/money-restore --slug <project> | Switch to a different project's history |
Natural-language equivalents (any of these → run /money-restore):
- English: "continue from last time", "where did we leave off", "pick up from before", "resume the diagnosis", "what did we conclude last time"
- 中文: "接着上次", "续上", "之前的结论", "上次诊断到哪了", "上次说到哪"
Project resolution
Same rules as /money-save:
- Default =
basename($(pwd)), sanitized - Override =
--slug <name> - Fallback =
default
Refer to it as business or project in conversation.
Workflow
Step 1 — Locate the snapshot file
In order:
- If user passed
<N>→ list snapshots in current project, sorted oldest → newest by filename timestamp, return the Nth. - If user passed
--slug X→ use X as the project name. - Otherwise → use the default project, find the newest file in
~/.smtm/sessions/{project}/by filename timestamp.
Always sort by the YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS filename prefix, never by file mtime. mtime is unreliable when sessions are synced via iCloud, Dropbox, or git.
Step 2 — Handle missing data gracefully
Case A: project directory empty or missing
Check whether ~/.smtm/sessions/ exists at all and what other projects are in it.
If other projects exist with snapshots, list the 3 most recently active:
No saved state for project `{project}`. You've been active in these other projects recently:
1. musicapi (latest 2026-04-22)
2. kolfind (latest 2026-04-15)
3. adwhiz (latest 2026-03-30)
Run `/money-restore --slug <name>` to load a specific project's state.
If ~/.smtm/sessions/ doesn't exist at all:
No saved state yet. Run /money-discover, /money-strategy, or any diagnostic skill, then `/money-save` to lock in the conclusion. Next time you can `/money-restore` to continue.
Case B: list mode
Hand off to /money-save list logic. Output format identical.
Step 3 — Read and parse
Open the snapshot file, parse YAML frontmatter, parse the 6 markdown sections (Business state, Confirmed conclusions, Ruled out, Open hypotheses, Next move, Notes).
If the file is malformed (frontmatter incomplete, sections missing — perhaps the user hand-edited it), present whatever fields are valid. Do not refuse to load just because the format is imperfect.
Step 4 — Present the state
Output a concise summary in the user's chosen language. Don't dump the full file — extract what matters and let the user ask for more.
Format:
## Picking up where you left off
**Project**: {project}
**When**: {timestamp formatted as `2026-05-03 14:23`}
**Title**: {title from frontmatter}
**Status**: {status — translate to user-friendly form: in-progress / resolved / abandoned → 进行中 / 已结论 / 已放弃 if Chinese}
**Last from**: {source_skill}
---
### Where you were
{Business state paragraph, verbatim from the snapshot}
### What you'd already decided
- {Each confirmed conclusion}
### What you'd ruled out
- {Each ruled-out direction}
- ({if empty, write "(nothing ruled out yet)")}
### Open hypotheses to test
- {Each open hypothesis}
- ({if empty, write "(none yet)")}
### Next move you'd planned
{Next move paragraph}
---
**Recommendation**: Continue with `{next_skill}` — that was the planned next step.
If you want to revise direction first, type a new `/money-*` command.
Step 5 — Wait for user direction
After presenting the state, stop. Do not auto-invoke next_skill.
The user's intent for this new conversation may have shifted. Let them confirm or redirect:
- "Yes continue with
<next_skill>" → invoke it - "Actually, I want to switch to
<other-skill>" → invoke that instead - "Just refresh my memory, I'll decide later" → fine, do nothing further
Edge cases
- Multiple snapshots in current project — default to the newest. If the user wants something older, suggest
/money-save listto get indices, then/money-restore <N>. - Snapshot status was
abandoned— surface this prominently. The user may have decided not to pursue this anymore; remind them. - Snapshot is more than 90 days old — flag with: "⚠️ This snapshot is from {N days ago}. Verify the conclusions still hold before acting on them."
- Conflicting prior decisions across snapshots — only show the newest. Use
/money-reportif the user wants the full history merged.
Principles
- Restore, don't replace — Present prior state, let the user decide what's still valid.
- Time-aware — Old snapshots may be stale. Surface the date prominently.
- No silent jumps — Never auto-invoke
next_skill. The user just opened a new conversation; they may have a new agenda. - Match the user's language — If the snapshot was saved in Chinese but the user is now in English, present in English but quote original-language content verbatim where it preserves nuance.
Value Quantification (Required After Successful Restore)
After presenting the prior state and the next-step recommendation, append:
---
### 📊 What this restore is worth
- 📦 **Restored** — {N conclusions, M ruled-out directions, K open hypotheses from {date}}
- ⏱ **Saved this session** — ~15-30 minutes of re-explaining context to the AI
- ⚠️ **Risk avoided** — Re-suggesting a direction you already ruled out (the AI has no memory across sessions without `/money-save` and `/money-restore`)
- ⏭ **Suggested next** — {next_skill from frontmatter, or "decide based on the state above"}
If the snapshot is older than 90 days, prepend a warning row:
⚠️ Stale: This snapshot is {N days} old. Verify the conclusions still hold before acting on them.
If the snapshot's status is abandoned, prepend:
⚠️ Abandoned: This snapshot was marked abandoned. Restoring is fine for review — but the conclusions here were rejected, not validated.
