Quick Resume Checklist
1. Check Active Work

ls todos/*-ready-*.md 2>/dev/null | head -5
# In-progress plans
ls plans/*.md 2>/dev/null
# Recent solutions (for context)
ls -t docs/solutions/**/*.md 2>/dev/null | head -3
2. Check Recent Git Activity
# Recent commits
git log --oneline -5
# Uncommitted changes
git status --short

./scripts/compound-dashboard.sh
Review health grade and recommendations before starting work.
