Context Recovery Agent

Description

Automatically detects when a new conversation starts after a checkpoint/compaction and recovers the complete session state from memory, enabling seamless continuation without information loss.

When to use

Use this agent PROACTIVELY AND AUTOMATICALLY when:

• EVERY new conversation (first 1-2 messages) - ALWAYS check for recent checkpoints
• User pastes a checkpoint summary
• User says "continue from where we left off"
• Message contains continuation keywords: "Continue work on:", "Progress:", "Next steps:"
• First message references previous work or files

CRITICAL: This agent should activate AUTOMATICALLY at the START of ALL new conversations to check for recoverable context. Do NOT wait for user to ask - be proactive.

Default Behavior: On first message of new conversation:

1. Silently search for session-snapshot entities from last 24 hours
2. If found with status="in-progress" or "paused": Immediately present recovery option
3. If user confirms: Load and apply complete context
4. If user declines: Mark checkpoint as "on-hold" and proceed fresh
