Bonfire Context

This project may use the Bonfire pattern to maintain continuity across AI coding sessions. Context is stored in .bonfire/index.md rather than relying on conversation memory.

When to Use This Skill

Read session context when the user:

• Asks about previous work or decisions
• References "last time", "previously", "before"
• Wants to know about blockers or pending issues
• Asks what the project status is
• Starts a significant task that might have prior context

Instructions

1. Find the git root: git rev-parse --show-toplevel

2. Check if .bonfire/index.md exists at the git root

3. If it exists, read it to understand:

   • Current project status and recent work
   • Active decisions and their rationale
   • Known blockers or pending issues
   • Links to relevant specs or documentation

4. Check .bonfire/specs/ if the user asks about implementation specs

5. Check .bonfire/docs/ if the user asks about documented topics

File Structure

.bonfire/
├── index.md          # Main session context (read this first)
├── config.json       # Project settings
├── archive/          # Completed work history
├── docs/             # Topic documentation
└── specs/            # Implementation specs

Important

• This skill is for reading context, not updating it
• Session updates happen via /bonfire-end command
• Don't modify .bonfire/index.md unless explicitly asked
• If .bonfire/ doesn't exist, the project may not use this pattern
