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

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

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

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

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

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
