Stop losing AI coding context between sessions: Continue Later (skills + CLI)

GitHub logo dhruv-anand-aintech / continue-later-skill

Local handoff skills and CLI for resuming AI coding sessions across Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and OpenCode.

Continue Later Skills

Handoff skills and a small CLI for AI coding sessions. When you stop mid-project, Continue Later writes the context a future agent actually needs: current git state, recent prompts, pending tasks, gotchas, and exact run commands.

It includes:

  • continue-later for a structured continuation.md
  • continue-later-fast for a raw git + recent prompt dump in continuation-fast.md
  • resume-continuation for picking work back up later (natural language)
  • resume-from-earlier — same resume workflow in its own folder for /resume-from-earlier and better discovery on every platform
  • optional Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini hooks for automatic handoff context

Continue Later workflow demo

Demo

You: continue later
Agent/CLI:
  - archives any old continuation.md / continuation-fast.md
  - writes the current git snapshot
  - captures recent local user prompts when enabled
  - leaves continuation.md or continuation-fast.md in the repo root

Later:
You: resume from earlier

Agent:
  - reads the handoff file
  - reports pending tasks, known issues, decisions, gotchas, and

Continue Later: handoffs your next agent can actually use

Ever end a Cursor/Claude/Codex session mid-refactor and come back to a model that doesn't know your branch, your last prompts, or what was left to do?

Continue Later is a small open source toolkit: Agent Skills plus a local CLI that writes handoff files in your repo root — git state, optional recent prompts, tasks, gotchas, and run commands. No hosted service; everything stays on your machine.

What you get

  • continue-later — structured continuation.md (overview, stack, state, tasks, decisions, gotchas, deploy steps)
  • continue-later-fast — quick continuation-fast.md (git + recent prompts; no extra LLM narrative)
  • resume-continuation / resume-from-earlier — natural language (and /resume-from-earlier) to pick work back up
  • Optional hooks for Cursor, Codex, Gemini, and a path for Claude Code — auto context on matching prompts when you want it

Try it

One-liner install (see repo for env flags and uninstall):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dhruv-anand-aintech/continue-later-skill/main/install.sh | bash
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Then in chat: Use "/continue-later" to save context for your next agent, and "/resume-from-earlier" to pick up where the previous agent left off.

For an LLM-free way of dumping context, from a git root, run:

continue-later-fast 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
